Patton Parent Update

Principal's Message
Patton Parents,
Thank you for a great first quarter! First-quarter grades should be finalized and the digital report cards will be uploaded to the Portfolio section of Skyward on Wednesday, October 18. Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up on October 19 and 20. Sixth-grade conferences will be held in the 6th-grade classrooms. 7th through 9th grade teachers will be in the Patton gymnasium on these days similar to the last round of conferences.
Please see the information below regarding the upcoming Book Fair. The Book Fair will take place this week. There will also be an opportunity to buy books from the Book Fair during Parent/Teacher conferences.
We will be celebrating Unity Day on Wednesday. We are encouraging everyone to wear orange on Wednesday to celebrate. See the information below.
Red Ribbon Week is coming up during the week of October 23. We have a spirit week planned to remind students to say no to drugs and make good choices. Please see the information below.
A quick reminder regarding checking students in and out of school. When checking students out of school, the adult checking the student out will need to come into the office. Students returning to school can check themselves in before returning to class.
The school district provides optional technology insurance for school-issued Chromebooks. The insurance is $50 and can be paid through RevTrak on the district website. Here is the direct link to that site:
With Patton Pride,
