Patriot Family Gazette 1/19/24

Patriot Families,

Cold and short week this week, but we are glad to have our Patriots back and begin celebrating growth at mid-year. Everyone completed their iReady Reading and Math middle of the year testing this week, and we are excited to celebrate growth and progress halfway through the year. Ask your Patriot how they did and spend some time celebrating with them! We also have a few fun exciting things happening next week as our Javi's Spirit Night is January 23rd beginning at 4pm, and on January 25th, don't forget to come out from 6-7pm for our Annual Math, Makers, and More Night! Pizza will be served and problem solving will be a priority. Check out the session names below for more information. We hope to see everyone there!

Have a great weekend and stay warm!

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

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!
