Patton Parent Update

Principal's message:

Good afternoon!

We have picture day coming up this Friday the 13th. If your child misses Friday, we will have retakes later in the semester. Our first home sporting event is on the 11th. Please come join us and support our volleyball team!

As we have started the new year, we would like to highlight the dress code policy found in our student handbook (linked below)

Please review this with your child to help support our efforts here at school! Thank you!

Have a great weekend!

With Patton Pride,

Kevin Wellington

This upcoming week our athletic teams will have their first competitions. Students who will be missing classes will be responsible for letting their teacher know and are responsible for the work they will be missing.

Football schedule update: The game on September 11th has been canceled. We have added a game for October 16th. More details will be available in future weeks.

The link below outlines KSHSAA policy on sportsmanship. These guidelines are what Patton will follow when playing any athletic competition.

Good luck to all of our student athletes this week!
