A Note From Mr. Christ
Dear Paddock Families,
Happy Sunday! As a reminder, we will have a half day of school on Tuesday, November 7. Students in grades one through eight will attend school in the morning. Students will be transported home following the same schedule we have used in the past on a half day. Paddock’s school hours will be 8:25 - 11:25am. Please plan student pick up accordingly.
All Preschool (Early Childhood and ECDEC Classrooms) and Half Day Kindergarten classrooms will not have class on this day. Full-day kindergarten programs (TK, bilingual, and dual language) will follow the 1/2 day schedule.
Have a great week!
Sincerely-
Jason Christ
Principal
Lost and Found
Paddock Play - Firecatcher
Three kids get pulled into a world of prophecies, powers and Electro pencils. As the mystery unravels, they come to understand that some fates can't be ignored. This is the world premiere of Paddock School's own superstar author Algebra Carter. It is a fast paced story, full of fun and adventure.
Show Times:
Nov 10 @ 7:00 - $5
Nov 11 @ 2:00 - $5
All tickets are general admission.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or you can buy them online at

Thanksgiving Baskets
With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, we are asking families for donations to create Thanksgiving baskets, which would contain items that make up a Thanksgiving dinner, for a Paddock family in need. If you are able/willing to donate, please sign up for an item using the Sign-Up Genius link provided by your classroom teacher. Donated items can be dropped off in the office (please include homeroom teacher's name and student name) or can be sent to school with your student. We are asking that the items be sent/dropped off by Friday, November 17th. Thank you for your support as we work together to help our school community!
E-Learning Practice Day
In the event of inclement weather this year, our district will be conducting an eLearning day. This will ensure that our school year ends on our scheduled date and summer construction can begin as scheduled.
To prepare students for what an E-Learning day will look like, on November 15th, all Paddock students will practice an E-Learning day at school. With their classroom teachers, students will review how to join a Google Meet, where to find links and assignments, behavioral expectations, etc. so they are prepared in the event of an E-Learning day.
Additionally, on the 15th, every student, including K-2nd grade, will bring home their Chromebook, case, and charger. All students will be expected to complete a short online activity on their Chromebook, assigned by their classroom teacher, to ensure that they are able to log in to their Chromebook at home and connect to their home WiFi. Use the link below if you need directions on connecting the Chromebook device to your home WiFi.
Connect to home Wifi directions
If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's classroom teacher or Mr. Christ.
Veteran's Day
Multicultural Week
Multicultural Week at SRP runs from November 13th-17th! We love highlighting all the different cultures at SRP. Students were sent home with a paper doll cutout. We are inviting all students to decorate the doll like themselves, highlighting their culture and what makes them unique. They can also write about their favorite tradition. More information about the project can be found on this slideshow.
These projects will be due by November 10th. They will be displayed in the main hallway at Paddock school. If you have any questions, please contact Miss Izzo (izzok@ccsd15.net).
