Dear Pattonville families and staff,
In my last communication to you on Jan. 19, I indicated we would update you in February on our learning structure for the future. As we have monitored cases of COVID-19 in our community and in our schools, we have determined it is appropriate to move to phase 1 of in-person learning for our younger students. Our data mirrors Centers for Disease Control (CDC) studies in Missouri and the U.S. that show in-school transmission of COVID-19 is rare. Because of the safety procedures used in schools, most COVID-19 cases result from an exposure in gatherings outside the school environment. With this in mind, we are planning the following upcoming changes:
Since December, the Pattonville School District has been participating in a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) program studying COVID-19 transmission and mitigation strategies in schools. Pattonville joined other schools in Missouri to partner with the CDC on the project as a way to evaluate the district’s strategies for keeping students and staff safe while attending school during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the study is ongoing, preliminary results in the Missouri study and previous school-related studies in the U.S. have shown that in-school transmission of COVID-19 is rare when mitigation strategies are in place.
