The PHS Green Team will host an Electronics Recycling Drive on Saturday, March 11th from 9am-12pm to collect electronic devices you want to recycle. If it has a cord or runs on batteries, they will take it! This event will be held in the stadium parking lot, so all you need to do is drive up and Green Team volunteers will unload your car. That's it!
Note: There is a small fee for large appliances, but everything else is free to drop off.

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.
Drummond Elementary School held its Black History Month assembly on Thursday to celebrate the accomplishments and the history of African Americans.
Presentations included transportation department driver trainer Ricky Jones sharing a rendition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, the Drummond choir performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” (watch here: https://youtu.be/MoevB2CHz-A) and Drummond third graders playing a song on African drums.
Two groups from Pattonville High School also participated in the event. The 55th verse, a slam poetry team, recited three pieces of work and members of the African American Achievers Society (Triple A) demonstrated a step dance.

You will also receive an email reminder 1 day prior to the day of your scheduled conference.
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.”
