In-person classes are canceled tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 16 in the Pattonville School District due to severe cold weather and wind chills impacting our region. All district and school offices are closed. After-school meetings and events will take place as scheduled. 

Tomorrow will be a virtual learning inclement weather 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. As an awareness for family schedules, tomorrow’s virtual learning day will not need to be made up in the future. 

Other school and district staff will work from home unless other arrangements are made with their supervisors. Custodians and maintenance staff should report to work at their regular time or as instructed by their supervisor.
