Patriot Family Gazette 3/1/24

Patriot Families,

What a great way to end the week with our Donuts with Dudes this morning! We had over 400 RSVPs and it was so great to see everyone at this event. Pictures were posted to our Facebook page as well as the Jack PTA Facebook page. Next week is our final push before Spring Break! A quick reminder to our 3rd-5th grade parents that we will finish up benchmark on Tuesday (3-5 Math) and Wednesday (5th grade science only).

We are also celebrating Read Across America. Please see details below about some fun dress up days. We will culminate the week with our annual Academic Parades. The schedule is below in the newsletter and we welcome you to attend this event, as it has been held annually here at Jack for years.

Also, the Total Eclipse is just around the corner (April 8th), please see information below as PTA will be selling t-shirts.

Honored to serve,

Brett Shelby

- 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!
