Pattonville hosted an online presentation with infectious disease expert Dr. Jason Newland on May 18. During the event, Newland provided an update on COVID-19 and the results of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) program that included the Pattonville school community in studying COVID-19 transmission and mitigation strategies in schools.
As mentioned in the presentation, Pattonville is partnering with the CDC, St. Louis University and Washington University to offer free COVID-19 testing for the Pattonville community. Tests are saliva-based and do not require nasal swabbing. Testing will be conducted from the patient's car and is available Sundays through Fridays. Results are typically available in 24 to 48 hours. To request a test, call (314) 454-4269.
Pattonville High School held a Senior Celebration during all lunches on May 12 and 13.
“We're celebrating the seniors and all of their plans for next year, whether that's college, the military, or starting a work career,” college and career preparation counselor Michelle Luraschi said.
National College Decision Day was May 1, but Pattonville’s version had more of a focus on celebrating all seniors for making it through this difficult time and less on where they are going to school for the next four years.
