A message from the Principal
Hello Students and Families!
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer!
I have moved into the burrow and could not be happier. I have spent my first few weeks reconnecting with staff and the PTA. We have been working on plans to continue to make Patterson the best place to be!
There has been alot of work going on in the burrow including:
-New whiteboards to replace chalkboards in the classrooms.
-New gym floor has been put in and it looks amazing! The lines are still being painted on.
-New phones have been installed.
-Cameras and alarms have been installed and updated to enhance school safety. This was a district wide project.
Our summer hours continue for the next few weeks:
Monday-Thursdays 9:00am-12:00pm and 1:00pm-3:00pm.
Beginning today, parent communication will continue to be sent out on Friday afternoon/evening.
I look forward to seeing you all soon, but for now, keep enjoying summer! I'm hoping to watch some of the summer Olympics with my family!
Sincerely,
Michelle Hebenstreit, Principal

Not Returning to Patterson Next School Year?
If your student is not returning next year to Patterson (moving out of our district or school boundary) please fill out the 2024-2025 Transfer & Withdrawal form and return it to the office. This does not apply to our Fifth grades who are moving on to Greggory M.S.
New Family Orientation
If you are a brand new family to Patterson and have students entering Grades 1st-5th, you are invited to the New Family Orientation with the principal and student service coordinator. Come learn about a day in the life of a Patterson student and take a tour of the building. Children are welcome to join you. If you cannot make this day/time, no worries, you will also be able to attend the Meet & Greet with your child's teacher on Aug. 19th. Kindergarten families will all have orientation on August 19th, so there is no need to attend this one.
