Holman Middle School sixth grader Caitlin Evans decided to collect school supplies for students in need for her Girl Scout Bronze Award project. The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Junior can earn. Girls work to complete a service project that can either directly benefit the Girl Scout community or the girls’ local community or neighborhood.

Dear Pattonville families and staff,
As we have mentioned in previous communications, our intention is to bring students into our classrooms for in-person learning as soon as possible. In consultation with the St. Louis County Department of Public Health, we have determined it is safe to bring students in preschool through second grade (PreK-2) back for phase 2 of in-person learning. Early childhood will begin on Monday, Sept. 21, and K-2 will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 22. We hope to expand in-person learning to other students as soon as possible. County health officials shared today that children ages 5 to 9 currently have a significantly lower positivity rate for COVID-19 than children ages 10 and up. The county health department continues to recommend virtual instruction for middle and high school students, who make up the bulk of new youth cases in St. Louis County.
Troubleshooting your home internet and WiFi
In a world where much time is spent using technology to work and learn, WiFi and Internet access have become a critical part of our day-to-day lives. When that technology doesn't meet our needs or expectations, frustration levels rise and simple tasks seem to take forever. Often, issues with our WiFi can be improved by making a few important changes. Making these changes can help increase the speed and reliability of your WiFi and internet access and help you get the best experience possible out of your WiFi. We recommend following as many of these steps as possible.
Pattonville High School seniors Maya Blumenthal and Jordyn Lodes were named semifinalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program and have an opportunity to continue in the National Merit Scholarship competition.
Over 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2019 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1 percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. Only about 16,000 out of the initial 1.5 million earned semifinalist status.
