Jersey Students Rerouted After Water Leak Floods Middle School

JERSEY — A water leak caused significant flooding at Jersey Middle School, prompting Principal Niki Egelhoff to notify parents Thursday morning, Nov. 12, 2026, that all middle school students would be routed to the high school.

“All middle school students will be routed to the high school,” Egelhoff said in the message. “If your student is a car rider, please drop them off as close to 8:15 a.m. as possible.”

Parents also had the option of keeping their students home with an excused absence. Egelhoff asked those choosing that option to call the high school office at 618-498-5521 to notify staff of their students’ attendance.

“We will send an update out as soon as more information is available,” she said.
