In-person classes at Rose Acres Elementary School only are canceled Friday, March 12, due to an urgent plumbing issue that needs to be repaired. While the plumbing is being fixed, restrooms in the building will not be available for use. Friday will be an independent virtual learning day for students who attend classes both in-person classes and via the Villemade Virtual Academy at Rose Acres. Students should log into their Seesaw account to view instructions from their teachers and to find out when their teachers are available for support. As an awareness for family schedules, today’s virtual learning day will not need to be made up in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause families and appreciate your patience and understanding.

The Pattonville Board of Education on March 9 approved the purchase of special devices that will add another layer of safety in air quality in Pattonville schools. In addition to the advanced filtering systems already in place, the district will install needlepoint bipolar ionization systems at each school to further enhance air purification in each building.
Testing has shown that needlepoint bipolar ionization systems reduce airborne amounts of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, by more than 99%, and significantly reduces the spread of other viruses like the flu or common cold. A needlepoint bipolar ionization system was piloted at Bridgeway Elementary School before being expanded districtwide.
