Hello Patton Community! I hope everyone had a great week. There are several updates listed below for you to read through. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Picture Day - Monday, 10.06.14 Just as a reminder, picture day is on Monday! We look forward to seeing many bright smiles! MAP/ISAT Data On Thursday, individualized MAP & ISAT will be sent home via backpacks. If you would prefer to pick up your child's information in lieu of going home in the backpack, you will need to contact the office in advance and they will pull your child's information. The paperwork will be available for pickup only on Thursday. Transitions Group - From Mrs. Donahue. . . At Patton School, one of the services we offer is a group experience for children whose families are currently in transition. These transitions may include separation, divorce, remarriage, or stepfamily situations. The groups will begin in the coming weeks, meeting once a week for approximately eight to ten sessions. Each session will last about half an hour. We will be working with classroom teachers in order to determine the best time to excuse your child from class. In the past, these group meetings have been helpful to children by providing them with a safe place to exchange feelings and experiences with peers in similar family situations. That way, group members can give each other support, suggestions, and encouragement. If your child(ren) are interested in this group, please sign and return the form below next week. The school office or your child’s teacher will forward the signed permission slips to me. If you have any questions or you would like to discuss the group further, please feel free to contact Mrs. Donahue at (847) 398-4288, or [email protected]
