As the district continues to plan and prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, teachers at Pattonville High School attended an in-person extended learning opportunity today to be trained on Canvas, the new learning management system for students.
Many of our families have been watching the news and waiting to hear what the new school year will look like in the midst of a global pandemic that has no immediate end in sight. Today, I share with you plans we have been developing throughout the summer months that are designed to keep the learning going for our students, no matter the health conditions in the community. The 2020-2021 school year will not be like any school year we have experienced in our lifetimes. Providing meaningful learning opportunities while attending to the health and safety needs of our students and staff will challenge all of us, but our commitment remains to both priorities.
Pattonville High School announced and recognized the school’s Top 10 seniors based on grade point averages during the graduation ceremony on July 16 at The Family Arena. The high school presented the Top 10 seniors with T-shirts from the universities they will attend after graduation. These students have grade point averages (GPAs) that fall between a 4.5 and a 4.8 on a 5-point weighted scale.
Senior Awards Night is an annual tradition for Pattonville High School where students are celebrated for achieving awards and earning scholarships. Due to the pandemic, this year's ceremony was canceled and a slideshow was created to virtually honor the graduates.
Congratulations to the 426 graduates of the Pattonville High School Class of 2020! The district held its 84th annual commencement at The Family Arena on July 16 where students were honored with individual recognition and awards. Two students, Zoe Wallace and Momo Kikuchi, were the two featured Senior Speakers.
Starting next Wednesday, July 15, Pattonville's free curbside meal distribution for students will change to one location. A week’s worth of meals will be distributed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Wednesday at the Pattonville Learning Center until further notice. Pattonville High School will no longer serve as a site for meal pick up.
Pattonville will offer meal boxes from Operation Food Search that contain shelf-stable meals, as well as boxes of fresh produce. The meal service is open to all children 18 years of age and under. No ID or paperwork is required to participate. The program is designed to ensure students have access to healthy meals while school is not in session.
