Students in Ms. Shannon Fleming's class enjoyed spending time outside at the new playground area at the Pattonville Early Childhood Center. The space was created thanks to the PTO applying for a grant from the Bridgeton Landfill Community Project Fund.
PTO treasurer and school secretary Laura Wick said they received $4,800 to build it.
Elementary teachers at Drummond Elementary School and middle school teachers at Remington Traditional School are piloting a new reporting system called Empower. This online reporting tool allows teachers to showcase student growth as they work on developing mastery in their learning standards. Empower supports students, parents and teachers by providing a visible guide showing a student’s progression in learning math and English language arts. This allows teachers and students to identify where a student is on their learning path and set goals for ongoing learning. Elementary schools and Remington will begin using Empower in the 2021-2022 school year with training for staff coming second semester.
Pattonville continues to offer free curbside meal pickup for Pattonville students once a week. Families can pick up meals from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 to 6 p.m. on Mondays at Pattonville High School (except for days when school is closed due to holidays, breaks or winter weather). The meal bags contain five breakfasts and five lunches for the whole week and are distributed under the bridge at the high school.

Dear Pattonville families and staff,
I want to give you an update on two items: second-semester enrollment choices and the COVID-19 situation in our district. First, thanks to our parents and families for helping us plan and prepare by indicating your learning choices for the second semester of this school year. The second semester begins after winter break. For the first semester of this school year, 43% of families chose the Villemade Virtual Academy for 100% online learning and 57% selected in-person learning (phases 1 through 3). For the upcoming second semester, our overall mix will be about 30% virtual and 70% in-person.
