Dear Pattonville families and staff,
As we have mentioned in previous communications, our intention is to bring students into our classrooms for in-person learning as soon as possible. In consultation with the St. Louis County Department of Public Health, we have determined it is safe to bring students in preschool through second grade (PreK-2) back for phase 2 of in-person learning. Early childhood will begin on Monday, Sept. 21, and K-2 will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 22. We hope to expand in-person learning to other students as soon as possible. County health officials shared today that children ages 5 to 9 currently have a significantly lower positivity rate for COVID-19 than children ages 10 and up. The county health department continues to recommend virtual instruction for middle and high school students, who make up the bulk of new youth cases in St. Louis County.
We're making it easy for you to take a customized photo of your child on the first day of school (Aug. 31). Simply download one of our signs and take a photo. We're collecting first-day photos to share on our social media pages. Use the hashtag #PattonvilleStrong to share your photos with the first-day signs. Make sure your posts are public so we can see them. Upload them by noon on Sept. 1, and we'll share as many as we can to celebrate our first day back.
Pattonville has ended its weekly distribution of Cares Act summer meals and will begin distributing school meals curbside for students enrolled in Pattonville on Wednesday, Sept. 2. Meals will be distributed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Pattonville Learning Center. After Sept. 2, distribution will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays at the same time and place until further notice. Two breakfasts and lunches will be available on Mondays, and three breakfasts and lunches will be available on Wednesdays.
