Good Afternoon Patton Community, I hope you and your children had a wonderful week, as well as a wonderful weekend. It would appear that Indian Summer is upon us as the weather has been great! Below you will find some updates from Patton, as well as the PTA. Kindergarten and First Grade Literacy Night - October 21, 7pm Kindergarten and First Grade Families, Please join us for an informational night on literacy at Patton. We will discuss topics such as fluency, comprehension, assessment and how you can support your child at home. More information will come out as we get closer to the date. We hope to see you there! Sign Up Genius - Parent Conferences Patton is going to be using SignUpGenius this year to schedule the November Parent/Teacher Conferences. The link will be released when we get closer to the date. When you are given the link to sign up, SignUpGenius is going to ask you to create an account. If you create an account in advance you won't have to go through those initial steps.

The students did a fantastic job listening and following directions. Lt. Larson (no relationship) from the Fire Department came to observe and was very pleased with how efficiently we evacuated the building. Patton Math Club Info
Traffic Safety This is just a friendly reminder to please abide by the posted signs, particularly along Maude (near the intersection of Maude and Harvard). Everyone has a vested interest in the safety of our students, so please be sure to use the designated pick up and drop off areas. Drop Off Supervision Patton Staff will be outside supervising students beginning at 8:45am. Please be mindful of the time you drop your children off as our traffic volunteers are not able to supervise students on the blacktop as they are directing traffic.
