In-person classes and after-school activities are canceled tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 22, in the Pattonville School District due to impending weather conditions. All district and school offices will be closed. There will be no board candidate filing tomorrow. Filing will resume on Dec. 27, which is the last day for filing. For filing details, click here.

Tomorrow will be a virtual learning day for students. Students will take part in independent learning activities at home with online teacher support. Teacher’s hours of availability to support student learning will be shared on their student learning platform or via email. Finals scheduled for tomorrow at Pattonville High School are postponed and will be made up after winter break. High school students will receive an update from school administrators tomorrow.

Other school and district staff will work from home unless other arrangements are made with their supervisor. Day custodians and maintenance staff should report to work at their regular time or as instructed by their supervisor. Afternoon and evening custodial staff have the option of reporting to work in the morning. Please work with your supervisor regarding adjustments to your regularly scheduled hours.

As an awareness for family schedules, tomorrow’s virtual learning day will not need to be made up in the future. Winter break begins on Friday, Dec. 23 and students return on Wednesday, Jan. 4.

Pattonville Early Childhood Center hosted a food drive to support local food pantries. School director Dr. Greg Cicotte challenged the students to collect 300 cans or boxed food items and promised that if they topped that goal, he’d let them hit him in the face with a pie. Needless to say, he underestimated his students who collected over 800 items.  
 
“We did something very kind for our community,” he said to the students who were assembled in the cafeteria for their first school-wide assembly. “We were doing something super awesome and we were collecting food for people who may not have as much as they need.”
 
The goal was set at 300 because it counts all of the students and staff in the school, but they ended up getting almost three times that amount.

“So I’m going to take three pies in the face!”

Classroom teachers used the community service project as an opportunity to reinforce counting, graphic and sorting skills.

Planning is underway for Prop S, Pattonville’s $111 million no-tax-rate-increase bond issue, and construction on some projects is expected to begin at the end of this school year. Prop S passed with a 79.4% favorable vote on the April 5 election ballot and funds projects at every school in Pattonville, including adding classrooms to address growth in student enrollment; providing safety and maintenance improvements; and updating school facilities to meet teaching and learning needs. Prop S will not increase the district's tax rate.

Filing for positions on the Pattonville School District Board of Education begins at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6, and ends at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 27. Persons interested in running for a position on the school board may file at the Pattonville Learning Center, 11097 St. Charles Rock Road, St. Ann, Missouri. Candidates will be placed on the ballot in order of filing. There are three positions available on the April 4, 2023, election ballot, each with a three-year term. Board members whose terms are expiring are Brian Gray as well as Lisa Kickbusch and Ruth Petrov who were appointed in 2022 to fill open positions. Their appointment lasts until the April election, but because both are filling terms that were set to expire in 2023, all open positions will be for a three-year term.
