PHS Parent and Student Newsletter Week of August 24, 2021
A Great First Day!
The 21-22 school year has gotten off to a wonderful start at Pattonville High School. Students and staff both worked hard to make the first day of school go smoothly for everyone. As we move further into the first week of school, administrators and staff will continue to review with students school wide expectations including the Covid-19 safety protocols that we have implemented at the high school.
Our annual Open House is Thursday, September 2nd and we look forward to meeting many of you on this important night at the high school. There will be more information shared with you in a separate communication.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me by phone or email if you have any questions about anything. Below is some useful information to keep you informed about what is going on at PHS. I look forward to continuing our work together!

New Pirate Life Calendar
Please be sure to subscribe to our Pirate Life calendar. This is our new student activity calendar. We hope that you find it useful for staying informed about what is going on at PHS this year.
New “X” Day Schedule
- 5 additional minutes were added to our school day
- The total number of ”C” Days was reduced by half
- An “X” day schedule was adopted in place of the “C” days that were cut. The “X” day is essentially an extended “C” Day with a 90 minute homeroom at the end of the day.
You will see these days indicated on the Pirate Life Calendar.

District School Improvement Team Meeting Next Week
This year’s District School Improvement Team work will focus on facilities master planning. We began this work last spring by engaging several focus groups in discussions about existing facilities. Groups also began the important work of developing a shared vision for what our Pattonville schools could and should look like to support the needs of future learners.
If you are interested in joining the PHS School Improvement Team, please contact Ms. Jansen in the main office. The district meetings will be held at Pattonville Heights; PHS building meetings are held at PHS in B104 and below is a general agenda for the meetings.
