February 22, 2021 – Dr. Clark Email

Dear MOSAIC Families,

Isn’t it wonderful to leave the house in the morning with the sun on your face and the birds chirping? The change in weather and warmer temperatures are definitely welcome.  I hope that all the snow will melt away these next few days and colder temperatures are behind us. I know this may not be possible as we have a lot of winter left, but one can hope.

Please take a few moments to read this week’s email blast. I have included important information from our district, our PTO and teachers.

Register to vote by March 10 to participate in the April election

Mehlville School District residents have an important item on the April 6, 2021, ballot.  The district is asking voters for a zero tax rate increase bond issue, called Prop S. If passed, Prop S would fund facility projects that improve student safety, and address critical infrastructure needs like restroom renovations, ADA accessibility, and HVAC and roofing replacements without raising the tax rate.

Parents and other residents are encouraged to learn more about Prop S and to vote. If you aren’t already registered to vote, the deadline to register is Wednesday, March 10, 2021. The Missouri Secretary of State’s website has several options to register to vote: 

Who can vote?

To register to vote in Missouri, you must be:

  • At least 17 ½ years of age (but you must be 18 by the day of the election to vote)
  • A U.S. Citizen
  • A Missouri Resident

Dear MOSAIC Families,

Welcome to what I believe is our first virtual snow day for the district. Thank you to our families, students and staff for pivoting to virtual learning in such a short amount of time. I hope to see everyone in person tomorrow morning, but the future forecast does not look promising. As of now, the forecast is calling for an additional three to six inches of snow from Wednesday morning into Thursday. Please make sure to watch your local news, our district website and various social media platforms for the latest news regarding our plans for tomorrow.

If we continue with virtual learning for all students tomorrow, please note that students who attend STRETCH on Wednesdays will have STRETCH virtually tomorrow. STRETCH students who are in MOSAIC@Home classes will continue to attend STRETCH this Friday.

Please remember to charge your child’s Chromebook this evening just in case. I have my fingers crossed that the next weather system will miss us and we will only see sunlight from this point on. Of course, we know what the groundhog said…

February 8, 2021 – Dr. Clark Email

Happy Monday MOSAIC Families,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I also hope everyone is staying warm in this very frigid weather. Daytime highs will hover around the twenty-degree mark all week. Students will go outside for recess if the temperature (including the wind chill) remains above twenty degrees. Be sure to dress your child in warm clothes this week and next.

Please join us tomorrow evening for our February PTO meeting beginning at 6pm. Dr. Gaines will present information about Prop S and its impact on MOSAIC and the school district. We will also have a presentation from our specialists teachers (PE, music, art, library, counselor).

You can learn more about Prop S by reading the information below provided by our district.    

How Prop S would impact MOSAIC Elementary School

The Mehlville School District Board of Education voted unanimously at its January meeting to place a zero tax rate increase bond issue measure on the ballot on April 6, 2021. The bond issue, called Proposition S, would fund projects to improve student safety and accessibility and complete deferred maintenance without increasing the tax rate.

If passed, Prop S would fund security entrances at every school; improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities; heating, cooling and ventilation upgrades; restroom renovations and additions; parking lot improvements; roof replacements and other projects.

Prop S would generate $35 million to complete these projects without raising the current tax rate. Voter approval would allow the district to transfer 12 cents of the existing tax rate to address facility needs at all schools within Mehlville School District at no additional cost to the taxpayer.

At MOSAIC, Prop S would fund a front security entrance that includes an exterior and interior door. Visitors are admitted through the exterior door and must check in with a staff member immediately upon entry before gaining access through the interior door to the rest of the school. Additionally, Prop S would fund two elevators to make our building fully accessible.

View the conceptual renderings for an illustration of what the completed projects might look like. Final construction is subject to change based on each project’s engineering and structural analysis.

Visit the Prop S website to see all the projects Prop S would fund and learn how we can complete these projects without raising the tax rate.

Happy Monday MOSAIC Families,

A new week, a new month and new possibilities! The students have been doing remarkably well with the transition back to full-time school. The five-day a week schedule is providing consistency to a student’s learning and we are seeing positive outcomes. The teachers continue to work extremely hard to provide the very best for each one of their students. There is a lot to be proud of as we continue to navigate unique challenges this school year.

I would like to thank our families for taking the time to read my email on Friday regarding the changes to our arrival procedures. It seemed to work very well this morning. We had no traffic back-up on Will Avenue and the buses were able to enter and exit the parking lot with ease. Thank you everyone for your cooperation!

Finally, please read the important message below from our district regarding Prop S.
