Patriot Family Gazette 10/13/23

Patriot Families,

A great time was had by all of our Water War Winners on Friday! It has been a busy start to the school year and the First Nine Weeks has flown by. We can't thank everyone enough for all of the support you have given us so far as our PTA numbers are continuing to grow. Red Ribbon Week is around the corner and our students voted this week for the themed dress up days.

One of our favorite events of the year wraps October up on the 27th, with our annual Jack Jubilee. Our Candy Monsters have been spotted throughout the building, so if you would like to donate to Jack Jubilee, you can send it to school with your Patriot. Please see information below.

Also, mark your calendars for November 2nd, our PTA reflections Art Night!

Don't forget, no school on Monday for students as we will be having a teacher work day.

Have a great 3-Day 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.
