Election Day - School Will be Open November 6 is election day, and as many of you know, Patton is an official polling place. In the interest of student safety, Patton (along with other schools who are a polling place) will have indoor recess all day, regardless of the weather. We will secure the voting area (the gym) so that visitors cannot access the rest of the school building. Voters will have to enter/exit through the gym doors. Additionally, there will be a District 25 building attendant on site, as well as a Central Office Administrator to redirect any visitor. Student safety is a top priority while your children are in our care. Picture Retake Day - November 13th Students who are retaking their school photo next Tuesday need to bring their original photo envelope with them to school. Those who missed the original picture day will need a completed order form to receive photos. We have extra forms in the office. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. Halloween Thank you to all of the Room Reps and parent volunteers as well as our terrific traffic team for all you did to make Halloween special and safe for all of our students at Patton. We are very blessed at Patton to have a supportive community, and Halloween is just one example of that. If you'd like to see the pictures from the day, please follow this link. On the same topic, if you happen to have extra candy on hand you would like to donate to local township food pantries, we are collecting in the office. High Five Friday at Hersey!
