Senior Awards Night is an annual tradition for Pattonville High School where students are celebrated for achieving awards and earning scholarships. Due to the pandemic, this year's ceremony was canceled and a slideshow was created to virtually honor the graduates.
As we prepare for our graduation ceremony on Thursday, I wanted to make you aware of one major change in our health and safety procedures. Students and guests must wear masks or face coverings when they can’t physically distance at least 6 feet from non-family members. An example of when to wear masks would include: when entering the Family Arena, when walking in the corridors, when seated next to guests that are not family members, etc.
Students may take their masks off or pull them down for photos and when walking across the stage to receive their diplomas.
The health and safety of all of us is important as we celebrate this wonderful event for our students. Your support and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Graduation admission tickets need to be picked up no later than 3:30 PM on Thursday, July 16. Tickets can be picked up in Dr. Dobrinic’s office at PHS.
If you have family members or friends who are unable to attend the ceremony, the event can be watched online by accessing the following link: https://youtu.be/h2XdL2wCLQ8
A few important points regarding graduation this Thursday evening at 7 PM at the St. Charles Family Arena.
1. Per the St. Charles Family Arena guidelines, masks are strongly encouraged to be worn by everyone.
2. District personnel and our Board of Education will be wearing masks at all times (only exception will be when one of us is speaking at the microphone).
3. When graduates arrive at the St. Charles Family Arena, they should go to their designated chair on the arena floor. There will be a large name placard on their chair. When students go to the stage to get their diploma, they should bring the name placard with them and hand it to the graduation name readers (Ms. Covera and Mr. Lopinot).
I will keep you updated on any changes.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday evening,
Starting next Wednesday, July 15, Pattonville's free curbside meal distribution for students will change to one location. A week’s worth of meals will be distributed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Wednesday at the Pattonville Learning Center until further notice. Pattonville High School will no longer serve as a site for meal pick up.
Pattonville will offer meal boxes from Operation Food Search that contain shelf-stable meals, as well as boxes of fresh produce. The meal service is open to all children 18 years of age and under. No ID or paperwork is required to participate. The program is designed to ensure students have access to healthy meals while school is not in session.
