Emergency School Closings

Classes in the district are canceled only in case of emergency or extremely bad weather. Any decision to close schools in extremely bad weather will be announced using Pattonville's automated phone calling system. Announcements will also be made on local television stations, including:

KTVI Channel 2
KMOV Channel 4
KSDK Channel 5

Announcements begin at approximately 5:30 a.m. School closings will also be announced on the district’s website (www.psdr3.org) and on the following district social media accounts:

Twitter: @PattonvilleSD or http://twitter.com/PattonvilleSD

If you are a parents/guardian and did not receive a phone call on a day when school is closed due to weather, please contact your child's school office to ensure the district has the correct contact information on file for your family.

Snow Day Procedures - Virtual Snow Day

In the event of snow or inclement weather, the district may transition to a virtual snow day. During a virtual snow day, there will not be any in-person classes. Learning will be asynchronous (independent) with teacher support.

In grades 9-12, students will be expected to complete 15 minutes of assigned independent work per class. Teachers will post assignments to their Canvas courses. Teachers are required to be available for 2 hours to support student learning and will post their availability for the day in their Canvas courses. Our librarians will also offer activities on virtual snow days which can be found on the library site.

Other emergencies

Pattonville will use a number of ways to provide important information to Pattonville families about other emergencies or major school events. Depending on the situation, Pattonville may use e-mail, an automated telephone calling system, the district website, U.S. mail or the local media to keep families informed of important information. For this reason, it’s important that all parents provide their school office with their most current phone numbers (home, work or cell phone). In addition, if parents wish to be notified via email of important information or updates, they should provide their email information to the school on the school enrollment forms. Pattonville will use the contact information it has on file in its student information system when communicating with parents.
