A Note From Mr. Christ
Dear Paddock Families,
With the weather starting to get a little colder and rain expected later in the week, please make sure that your students are dressed appropriately for when they go outside for recess. If it is raining outside, we will have indoor recess, but if it is just wet on the grass and blacktop, typically, we will go outside. As such, having layers that can be added or removed as well as wearing appropriate footwear for playing outside is helpful in keeping students comfortable while at recess. Thank you for your help with this. Have a great week!
Sincerely-
Jason Christ
Principal

Fun Run
The Fun Run fundraiser was a huge success! Thank you to the Paddock community for all of their support. The students had a great time during the run and were very excited to watch the top fundraisers from each grade level slime Mr. Christ. Check out the Stuart R. Paddock Facebook page to see more pictures.

The Paddock PTA would like to invite all parents, grandparents, and other special adults to join their Paddock student(s) for donuts on Tuesday, October 17th from 7:15 AM-8:00 AM at Paddock School. We will be outside by the basketball courts/black top at the back of the school. Each student can bring up to two grown-ups to this event. We hope you can join us!

Changing Student's Way Home
We know that having multiple late buses each day can lead to changes in the way your student goes home. If you are changing the way your student goes home for a specific day, please try and contact the Paddock main office and/or your student's classroom teacher as early as possible. If it is after 2:30, please call the building, as opposed to emailing, since the main office gets very busy at dismissal time and secretarial staff may not see an email if you send it.
