Lockdown Drill - Friday On Friday, we practiced a lockdown drill during the lunch hour, and your children did an amazing job. We want your children to be prepared in any setting, at any time. We are certainly not trying to scare them, simply prepare them, and the staff for any situation that might come our way. Friday was a great example of how the students and staff came together and did just a magnificent job. Outside at lunch recess, first, third, and fifth grade students were to practice leaving the property and begin heading to our relocation site. In this scenario, they began the walking as if to head to a relocation sit, but quickly circled back around to head back to school. Older students were incredibly kind, and were observed holding the hands of younger students to help comfort them if they were uncertain of where to go or simply needed some encouragement if they were feeling nervous. Second and fourth grade students had their lunch interrupted and needed to quickly lockdown to various locations around the commons. As with any drill, we are constantly evaluating our practices and making adjustments along the way. You should be very proud of how your children did. Registration for 2018-2019 If you have not yet done so, please complete online registration using the link emailed on May 1st. Details can be found on the District website here.

2018-19 Class Placement Feedback Form - Parents If you click here, you will find a form that 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. Please know that the placement process for all of the Patton students is extensive and well thought out. Teachers have been instructed to defer any placement requests directly to me (Eric Larson) as I am the one who has the final say in the process. Please do not contact teachers for special requests as that puts unnecessary pressure on them and can often create uncomfortable situations. It is also 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 11, 2018, by 4:00pm. Recognize a Teacher At Patton we encourage our students to live the "The Patton Way." Our teachers and staff strive to be an example for our students on a daily basis. If you would like to recognize a teacher for his/her efforts, please fill out this form and we will pass on the good news to them. Thank you in advance for sending an encouraging word.
