Welcome to the PTA
All PTA members will receive this weekly e-newsletter. Please reply if you’d like to unsubscribe. PTA is looking forward to a great year! We have the following meetings scheduled for this year: Tuesday, September 11 - 7:30 pm Tuesday, October 2 - 9:15 am Wednesday, November 7 - 7:30 pm Tuesday, January 15 - 9:15 am Tuesday, February 5 - 7:30 pm Tuesday, March 5 - 9:15 am Tuesday, April 9 - 7:30 am Tuesday, May 7 - 9:15 am Yearbook Chairperson We are in need of a Yearbook Chairperson, or co-chairs, to help with the Color Portrait school pictures and the Treering yearbook for 2018-19. Last year’s chair has transitioned to Thomas Middle school, but he is available for questions and has very good notes on how to run this committee. We have been very fortunate to have wonderful yearbooks produced each year and we would like to continue this tradition. It’s a great work from home, flexible committee that allows you to be more involved with the PTA. PTA Website We would love to get our PTA Website up and running this year. Please let us know if you have any interest in helping us with the website. Kingergarten Room Parents Kindergarten parents... please consider volunteering for Room Rep in your child’s classroom.

We want to thank all of our families for being so kind and patient the first few days of school while we iron out any wrinkles in our drop off and pick up systems. Many veteran team members have been lending an extra set of hands to help everything run as smoothly as possible so we can all drop off and pick up our students efficiently and safely. Please do not hesitate to approach one of our volunteer team members (the ones in those beautifully bright yellow vests or shirts) if you have any questions, especially if you are new to Patton. Thank you for driving slowly through the lot, using all designated crosswalks, not parking illegally, and having a smile on your face! School Supply Kits Thank you for ordering your school supplies through EPI for this school year. The kits were delivered to classrooms last week. As this is a new vendor, I welcome any feedback (pros or cons!). Contact Mairin Gradek at [email protected] ACE It! 25 (All Children Excel) “ACE It 25” is a PTA council committee that has been established in district 25 to support families of children with identified physical, behavioral, emotional, and intellectual needs.
