Guidelines For Success

I will model integrity by being trustworthy.
I will make smart decisions.
I will have empathy by showing kindness.
A Note From Mrs. Ralston
Hello Patterson Families!
We love having our Pumas back at school! Attendance is important! We ask that if your child is not ill, please send them to school. We start our instructional day at 8:00 am with interventions and enrichment. We don't want our students to miss out by being late. Our students will make an incredible amount of growth this semester so it's important they are here every day possible.
Report cards for the second nine-weeks grading period will be available in Parent Access this week. If you do not have a PAC account, I encourage you to sign up for one. You can access your child's report cards, progress reports, daily grades, and attendance. Paper copies will not be sent home.
Finally, I want to welcome our new families. At Patterson Elementary, we strive to create a school in which staff provide a safe, loving and positive learning experience for everyone. We are glad you are here! Mrs. Kelley (counselor), Mrs. Zuercher (counselor), Mrs. Humphrey (assistant principal), Ms. Stepp (assistant principal), and I are here for you. Please email or call for questions, concerns, and celebrations!
Thank you for your continuing support. We are Patterson Pumas and we have pride!
Melissa Ralston, Principal

(Student should be fever- free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medications before returning to school).

Breakfast
Eat Breakfast at School!
Breakfast is served at school! School breakfast will give your child a healthy start to the day. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert so they can learn more in class. Breakfast has vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body. If you qualify for free and reduced price meals, you also qualify for the breakfast program, with no additional paperwork. You can’t find a healthy breakfast at such a low cost anywhere else. Help your child start the day right with school breakfast!
Desayuno en la Escuela
¡Los niños pueden desayunar en la escuela! Sus niños pueden comenzar el día saludablemente al comer el desayuno en la escuela. Un desayuno saludable ayuda a los estudiantes estar más alertos, y así aprender más. El desayuno tiene vitaminas y nutrientes para un cuerpo fuerte. Si ya calificas para comidas gratis o comidas a precio reducido, también calificas para el Programa de Desayunos Escolares, y no tienes que llenar más formularios. ¡Ayuda a tu niño a comenzar el día bien con desayunos escolares!
