  • The Ritenour School District has extended the closure of our schools through April 22, 2020. Our schools began home learning on Monday, March 30. We will be sending updates with information and resources via email, text messages, the Ritenour website and social media.

    Moving forward, our staff members will continue to closely monitor reports and remain in contact with the St. Louis County Department of Public Health.

    Any calls for basic COVID-19 information should be directed to Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) activated a statewide public hotline for citizens or providers needing guidance regarding the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. The hotline can be reached at 877-435-8411. The hotline is being operated by medical professionals and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    Anyone who believes they have been exposed to COVID-19 or if they are experiencing symptoms should call the St. Louis County Department of Public Health hotline at 314-615-2660.
