Hi Patton Families!
Welcome to our ONE BOOK, ONE REMOTE SCHOOL! We are excited to bring our community together in the shared adventure of A Boy Called Bat by Elana K. Arnold. Although for this event we will be reading an Ebook with our remote school, many other enjoyable aspects of a shared read are the same as our previous One Book, One School events.
Read/listen to the weekly chapters any time or day(s) during the week that work best for you. The chapters are short and the story is engaging, authentic and features a baby animal! Most importantly this year, let's really try to connect with each other by sharing photos and videos of families reading together and your responses to and ideas about the book using an easy Flipgrid link also on the LMC page. As you know, reading the same book as your student is a special chance to enhance your student’s reading experience, model a love of reading, and share the adventure of good literature. This year especially we hope the few minutes of reading together will provide a welcome respite from a hectic time in our lives. Sincerely, Ms. Melamed, Mr. Larson, and Mrs. Vignocchi

The emails will be sent in batches throughout the day.

Printed Materials Pick Up - Tuesday, May 5
If you would like printed materials for the week of 5/4, please fill out this form so can have an accurate count of how many we need to print. The packets will be available on Tuesday 5/5 in the morning from 8:00-12:00. If you are in need of an additional tech device, please reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help you.
Parent Feedback Form for 2020-21
Here you will find a link to the form you can fill out should you like to provide the school with any information you feel would be important as we consider placement for your child for the next school year. Please know that the placement process for all Patton students is extensive and well thought out. To that end, it is important to understand that requests for a specific teacher will not be considered, as allowing parents to request teachers puts a significant strain on an already extensive process. All staff members are committed to providing the best education for your children. This form is to be completed by Friday, May 8, 2020.
Comic Book Guidance for Coronavirus
In “The Princess in Black and the Case of the Coronavirus,” the Princess in Black gives tips on how to fight the coronavirus, explaining the importance of hand-washing, staying home (even if it means canceling a playdate), and keeping a distance from other people. "We thought it might help if kids had a book friend who gets what they're going through, so we created this PSA to help them understand what's going on and give them some tips." - Author Shannon Hale
