Patton Parent Update

Patton Parents,

The Freedom Walk and school picnic are coming up on Friday, September 8. This is also our first early dismissal Friday of the year. We are planning on leaving Patton for the Freedom Walk at approximately 8:30. Our 9th-grade students will lead the rest of the Patton student body on the walk through some of the neighborhoods surrounding Patton and will end at the Track and Field complex. The Freedom Walk ceremony is scheduled to begin at approximately 9:15. Students will have lunch at their normal times (listed below). If you are able to join us for lunch that day, please fill out the form below, if you haven't already. The form will need to be completed by Tuesday, September 5.

The school district provides optional technology insurance for school-issued Chromebooks. The insurance is $50 and can be paid through RevTrak on the district website. Here is the direct link to that site:

Our school and district have implemented a visitor/volunteer registration system. Everyone coming to Patton to either visit (have lunch, talk with the nurse, attend a meeting outside of the main office, etc) or volunteer (scheduled with a staff member to assist in a classroom or with students) will need to check in with this system. The initial registration will take a bit longer (please see the attached information on this process). Please be aware that office staff will ask that you use this system each time you are at Patton and will be going beyond the main office space.

On our district and each school's website, under the "Parents" tab there is a great deal of national, state, and local information including immediate support in Kansas, Risk Factors and Warning Signs, and Suicide Prevention and Awareness Resources. Following is the direct link:
