Patriot Family Gazette 3/22/24

Patriot Families,

It was a great week back from spring break as we spent Thursday and Friday celebration our Patriots with our Legacy Awards Assemblies! What a great way to wrap up the 3rd Nine Weeks and gear up for the last quarter of the school year. March is almost in the books and April is around the corner. There will be no school next Friday March 29th for Good Friday, and a student holiday on April 1st for a staff professional development day. April brings on Pre-k and Kinder Roundup, Solar Eclipse Day, GT expos and more! Please take a look at the calendar below for details! Enjoy your weekend and Sharpen the Saw!

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!
