Patton Parent Update
October 30 - November 3
Principal's Message
Patton Parents,
Thank you to the parents and students who presented information on various countries at the district's International Day. Our students had a good time learning about many different places.
Halloween is on Tuesday. This is a normal day at Patton and ask that students do not wear costumes to school and save the fun for after dismissal.
Our next round of sports have been underway for the last few weeks. We had our first home game this last week. As a reminder, please see the information below about afterschool activities from our student handbook.
For students involved in Junior Guard, the practices are on Thursday from 3:30-4:30. Please make sure your student knows how they are going home after practice. If they are being picked up, please be prompt with picking them up at 4:30.
A quick reminder regarding checking students in and out of school. When checking students out of school, the adult checking the student out will need to come into the office. Students returning to school can check themselves in before returning to class.
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:
With Patton Pride,
Dr. Tyler Fowler

Patton Athletic/Activities for the Week
Message from the student handbook
After School Activities (PJHS)
Students are encouraged to support school activities and to exhibit good sportsmanship at all times. Students will be expected to follow the directions of coaches or other faculty supervisors at after-school events and athletic contests.
Regulations for after-school activities at school include:
Students not on the team or involved in the activity must go home before coming back to school to attend an after school event.
Kansas State regulations specifically prohibit athletes, coaches, and spectators from demonstrations of criticism toward officials and verbal harassment of any athletes on the floor or field.
School rules are extended to all school-sponsored activities.
Students determined to be loitering and not being a spectator will be asked to leave the school grounds.
Update on Basketball Schedule:
The contest on 11/9/23 for 7th grade girls basketball will be changed from a home game to an away game. More information on this to come.
