Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to wish all of our Patterson families a happy Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends. I hope you take the opportunity to spend it with the ones you love. This is also a time for our staff and students to recharge their batteries as we get ready for the last few weeks of school before the end of the 2024 calendar year.
The academic year has gotten off to a busy start, and it is hard to believe that December is just around the corner. Teachers have been busy implementing routines and expectations for their classrooms and students.
It has been one year since we implemented the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system. You may have attended an assembly or had your child/children come home and talk about LEAD. This is an acronym for Listen to others, Encourage everyone, Act responsibly, Display kindness and respect. Students are being recognized for their positive behavior that shows they are being leaders. This works very well with our Leader in Me curriculum. I encourage you to ask your child/children about what they have been working on in class.
I feel incredibly honored to work each day with this amazing staff. I am impressed by their daily commitment to offer the best education possible to all of our students.
Have a safe and healthy Thanksgiving break!
Yours in education,
Jake Haynes
