Dear Pattonville families and staff,
On Thursday, May 13, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated mask-wearing guidance for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The guidance states “Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.”
In accordance with guidance issued today by the St. Louis County Department of Public Health (DPH), Pattonville will continue to require the wearing of masks by students, staff and visitors while on campus or on the bus for the remainder of the current school year, which ends on May 27.
We will provide updated mask guidance for summer school, camps and staff working in district buildings during the summer months in the near future. Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we work together to keep our students and staff healthy and safe.
Sincerely,
Dr. Tim Pecoraro
Superintendent
The Pattonville High School Biomedical Sciences White Coat Ceremony was held on Thursday, May 13, in the Pattonville High School main gym to recognize students who have successfully completed coursework in Pattonville's nationally certified biomedical sciences program. Due to physical distancing needs, only students receiving their white coats were recognized in-person. 
The Child Development playschool program held a 50th year party this morning at Pattonville High School and current and former teachers in the family and consumer sciences department were there to celebrate with current high schoolers and preschoolers.
Sixth grade science students at Pattonville Heights worked on a lab yesterday to investigate the results of variation and competition on a population. They studied a population of birds with different beak traits that were trying to eat beans that had variations in size and color. The students acted as the population of birds using different eating utensils as the beaks.
