Patriot Family Gazette 1/5/24

Patriot Families,

Great first week back in 2024! We were excited to welcome your Patriots back to campus this week and get started setting goals for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year. We have seen so much growth this year and can't wait to see our Patriots continue to "Lead the Way." Coming up this week we have our 2nd Nine Weeks celebration Legacy Leadership Assemblies (see schedule below). Please mark your calendars for the end of the month as well as we have our annual Math, Makers, and more night on January 26th. We will be serving Pizza to participants until we run out. Come out and enjoy some hands on activities and have a little fun!

We look forward to starting off the new year right, checking our progress, and continuing to Lead the Way at Jack!

Have a great weekend!

- Please drop off by 7:50. Our tardy bell rings at that time and we want our Patriots ready to learn with us.

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.

- If you are dropping off before 7:15, please use the back loop. This area is staffed and students are directed to the cafe or gym. After 7:15, our front loop will be open.

How can you purchase baseball merchandise specific for Tyler Legacy? The link below is a store the baseball team has set up selling spirit gear and items are available in youth sizes. The online store includes specifics for delivery to each school and a baseball booster club member will deliver the items to each elementary/middle school once the orders come in should your students order. We are currently exploring options to have a Future Red Raiders program with baseball. Thanks so much!
