Beginning in May 2021, Pattonville School District participated in the Safe Return to School research project conducted by Washington University to assess COVID-19 testing strategies in K-12 schools. The focus of the study was to determine whether the level of COVID-19 cases was less in schools that utilized weekly screening testing. The project lasted through the 2021-2022 school year. Findings from the study were released this month and showed that there did not appear to be a difference in positivity rate in schools with or without a weekly COVID-19 screening test requirement. Infectious diseases expert Dr. Jason Newland, who served as Pattonville’s liaison with the program, presented the findings in a recording available to the community.

A big red firetruck replaced big yellow school buses outside of Pattonville Early Childhood Center on Thursday when members of the West Overland Fire Protection District joined students for lunch.
Teacher Lindsey Jones said it was a really good experience for the group of 3- to 5-year-old students.
“It's letting them get to know the firefighters as members of the community,” she said. “They’re getting to see that it's just a person under the suit and they don’t need to be scared. It’s really helping break down that wall and a good learning opportunity.”
