Dear Patterson Families,

It's hard to believe that the 2022-2023 school year is already coming to a close. As we celebrate the accomplishments of our students, I would like to take this opportunity to express how fortunate I feel to be your Principal of our Patterson Pride! Your children inspire us on a personal and professional level each day, and we are beyond proud of their accomplishments. Thank you for being such a supportive and involved community and for working together to be a true "village" to our kids. Our students and staff are successful because of your continued commitment to excellence and kindness. I appreciate your time and effort in making our school one of Arizona’s finest. Our school community is continuing to welcome more families to our Pride and we look forward to seeing you all return next year.

The upcoming 2023-2024 academic year will begin with parents receiving class/teacher placement information via email the week of July 10th. Meet the Teacher Night and Curriculum Night will be combined on Monday, July 17th. We hope all students and parents come to this very important and exciting evening. It is a perfect opportunity for you and your child to meet the teacher, meet some new classmates, and obtain information on buses, PTO, Kids Express childcare, Club CUSD, receive curriculum and see class presentations.

The first day of school is Wednesday, July 19th. We are planning for an excellent year of learning in 2023-2024 and I am so thrilled to invite everyone back to the PRIDE!

Thank you again for making Patterson an “A” rated school and your school of choice. You have been involved with our students and teachers in a variety of ways and have made a positive impact on the culture of Patterson. On behalf of the staff, we truly thank you for a successful school year and look forward to seeing your children in July!

Sarah Stephens
