Venice Parents, we want to remind you that all students' last day of school is tomorrow, Wednesday, May 22nd, with an 11:30 AM dismissal. Please ensure your child's transportation arrangements. We had a blast this school year and can't wait until students return to us on August 13th. Until we see each other again, we wish you a safe and happy summer!
Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 7 and Grade 8 students took a field trip to the St. Louis Science Center today! They are engaged in learning and having a great day!
Due to severe weather moving into the area this afternoon and our school not having a storm shelter for staff and students, we will dismiss all students today at 1:15 PM. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. As always, our top priority is student and staff safety. Be safe!
Cupcakes With My Crew was a success! It was a great day for our students and the special people who play a significant role in their lives.
Our 8th-grade students spent the day visiting Madison and Lovejoy Schools in preparation for transitioning to High School. They ended the day with a delicious lunch at Applebees. It was a great day!

Thank you to everyone who attended the New Elementary School Groundbreaking Ceremony on Friday, February 16th. It was a great day for students, staff, and the community!
Good Evening Venice Families! Unfortunately we had two confirmed cases of COVID in our school building today. My fear is there could be more staff or students come down with COVID or other illnesses if we do not take action now. The decision has been made to call off school tomorrow as an "emergency day" to allow our custodial staff the day to disinfect the entire building thoroughly. For the safety and well being of all our students and staff, there will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, February 2. This emergency day will have to be made up at the end of the school year. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Have a good weekend! We will see all our students and staff back in the building on Monday, February 5th. Thank you and stay safe! Mrs. Cynthia Tolbert, Superintendent
