Wednesday, November 19, 2025
Good morning, CGPS staff and families. The City of Cape Girardeau has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for a large portion of the city until 9:15 a.m. on Friday, November 21st unless otherwise notified. All of our school buildings are within that precautionary boil water advisory area EXCEPT for Alma Schrader and Blanchard. Those two school buildings are currently not in the advisory zone.
We wanted to let families know that we have closed the drinking fountains throughout the District, and are in the process of delivering bottled water for drinking water.
Our nutrition services staff members will follow the recommended precautions provided for food preparation until the advisory is lifted.
More information can be found on the City’s website.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
