First year to last year. Today was my last work day. It’s been an honor and privilege to serve the @PattonvilleSD, such an incredible public school community. Thanks to all who supported me and helped me grow along the way.

Best team around. Thank you for all you do to support our Pattonville family and each other. #SchoolCommunicatorsDay @NSPRA
We want to wish our school-community relations team a happy School Communicators Day! Didn't get them anything? Give this post a like, reply or retweet! They love that kind of stuff.

Unlike other high-performing school districts, Pattonville is not particularly wealthy and it is diverse. Its proficiency-based approach aims to meet students where they are, no matter how far behind they may be https://t.co/2EWUDsGN2B via @stltoday

Pattonville staff, from the superintendent on down, say they believe all students can become proficient learners, regardless of background.
