To help plan for the remainder of the school year, Pattonville families are asked to select their children’s learning option for the second semester by Friday, Nov. 6. Families have two learning choices:
- Villemade Virtual Academy (100% virtual learning) or
- In-person learning with phases that change depending on the health conditions in the community and in our schools.
For details on each of these options, visit our Pattonville Returns website at https://bit.ly/PSDReturns2020web.

Drummond Elementary ISS supervisor Adrienne Draper has written and published several children’s books. Her latest title, “Rona, Rona, GO AWAY!” was released in June. It’s a story that gives the reader a snapshot of how an 8-year-old boy and his family adjusted to the rapid changes in their community during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Drummond Elementary third grade teacher Ms. Alexis Hasty and fifth grade teacher Ms. Jami Miller each received a grant of $500 and 500 Scholastic Book Clubs Bonus Points for the purpose of building classroom and at-home libraries for their students. They are among 5,000 teachers throughout the United States who received a grant, part of a $2.5 million personal donation made by best-selling author James Patterson and a Scholastic Book Clubs match of 2.5 million Bonus Points.
