Dear Pattonville families and staff,
It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that I have decided to retire at the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year. After nearly 30 years in public education, I’m eager to spend more time with my family.
Fifth grade students from Willow Brook Elementary participated in an all-day peer mediation training hosted by PreventEd.
Students that applied and were accepted for the program learned the process of guiding disputes, avoiding judgements and knowing the key characteristics of effective communication. They also learned and practiced meditation techniques to help resolve students in conflict.
School counselor Yue Buss will work with the students throughout the year during peer mediation.
Pattonville POSITIVE School will be hosting its 40th anniversary celebration on Thursday, Sept. 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Pattonville High School under the bridge. All current and former students and staff are invited to attend with their families.
Each month during the school year, the Pattonville Board of Education honors students, staff and volunteers who have gained recognition outside of the district.
Students at Parkwood Elementary made their mark on International Dot Day donning polka dot outfits and dotted stickers.
Dot Day is inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book “The Dot,” which tells the story of an art teacher who encourages a young girl who believes she cannot draw. Starting with a small dot on a piece of paper she unlocks her creative potential and goes on a journey of self-discovery and creativity, in which she inspires others.
Art teacher Janel MacLean celebrated with students today during class by having them create their own artwork at one of five different stations.
