Grades 2, 3, and 4 Students We are looking forward to having students from grades 2 - 4 begin at Patton next week! Mondays will continue to be remote for all students. Students with last names A-K will begin Tuesday and L-Z will begin Wednesday. For information about drop off/pick up, lining up, and more, please go to the October 11th Weekend Update. For additional details, please check out:
Updated Pick Up Procedures Below is an image to help everyone know where to stand at the end of the day. We have identified an area along the grass and blacktop where we would like family members to stand while waiting for their children whom they are walking home with. Please note the area in red, which is the area near the bike racks. This is a congested area and we are asking that if you are picking up a walker that you not wait in this location. For those picking up their children in the car line, the area outlined in orange is where your students will be standing as they look for their vehicle. As a reminder, students are expected to wear their masks while waiting for their family and parents should be wearing a mask while on campus as well. Signing In/Out of Building If you need to pick up or drop off a student during the school day - including for lunch - you will use the "QR" code that is posted on the school doors. Here is the procedure:
Indoor Recess The weather forecast shows a chance of rain for several days in the upcoming week. Should indoor recess need to occur, we have a plan to accommodate students indoors. They will be socially distanced in the classroom hallways. Since students will be unable to share indoor recess supplies, they are encouraged to assemble a personal bag of items from home that they could use during an indoor recess time period to keep them occupied. If you could work with your children to pack a Ziplock gallon-sized bag of items this weekend that could be kept in their backpacks to be used as-needed, that would be great! Some ideas for items to pack include books, small toys, activity books, etc. Thank you in advance for your help! Spring 2020 IAR Score Reports Last Spring, students in third, fourth, and fifth grades at Patton were scheduled to take the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) for English Language Arts/Literacy and Math. Prior to the school closure order issued, students who were in attendance in grades three and five on scheduled testing days did complete the math portion of the IAR. They were unable to complete the English Language Arts/Literacy portion of the assessment. Fourth graders did not complete any of the assessments. The State has shared Math Score Reports for third and fifth graders who tested. On October 22nd and 23rd, those score reports will be sent home via backpack mail for in-person learners. Remote learners' score reports will be mailed home. There is no need for worry if your children did not test or receive complete score reports. We will continue to follow the State's guidance regarding IAR as the school year progresses. Traffic Volunteers Needed
The Patton Panther PTA Traffic Team offers assistance with traffic flow onto the school grounds, opens doors for students to exit and enter vehicles safely, and makes sure that the parking lot is a safe zone. The morning shift runs from 8:45-9:10AM and afternoon shift runs 3:25-3:50PM. We are still in need of volunteers for all shifts in order to keep traffic team going! Please consider helping for one or more shifts per week. It is a great way to offer assistance to the Patton community, meet other parents, and work with our students! Please fill out this form to let us know your availability. Contact Julie Kozlik or Cora Chicca at [email protected] with any questions. Comments are closed.
