Principal's Message
Patton Parents,
Our 8th graders did a great job on their state science assessments this past week. The ELA assessments will be this week on Wednesday and Thursday. The Math assessments will be the week after on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 9 and 10.
We have our first track meet this week on Tuesday, April 2. Please see the information below for specific details.
Congratulations to our Odyssey of the Mind teams. They both earned a first place finish at the state meet that was held at the beginning of March. At our recent school board meeting last Monday, both teams were approved to move on to the world competition that will be held on the Iowa State University campus in Ames, Iowa, in May.
We have a bunch of items in our Lost and Found (pictured below). Items range from jackets and sweatshirts to shoes and water bottles. If your student has misplaced something, please have them check the lost and found by the cafeteria. Please feel free to come look through the items, as well.
With Patton Pride,
Dr. Tyler Fowler
Principal
