🚧 Road Closure Notice - Granby Campus

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is making road improvements on Monday, October 19 and Tuesday, Oct. 20.

As part of the work, E Highway will be closed from Old Ritchey Road and J Hwy, as noted on the map.

This closure is expected to begin between 7:30 a.m.-7:45 a.m., and reopen by approximately 3:30 p.m.

Based on MoDOT’s expected schedule, the closure should not impact the Tuesday morning arrival and afternoon dismissal of buses. However, families who arrive early to line up for parent pick-up may be impacted and should plan to use an alternate route.

We wanted to make families aware in advance so you can plan accordingly. Thank you for your patience and understanding as MoDOT completes these improvements
