Principal's Message
Patton Parents,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Spring Break. The last quarter of the school year has begun. Thank you for letting us know if your student will be returning next year. This is very helpful as we plan for the end of this school year and the beginning of next year. If your status changes, please let the school office know.
State assessments begin next week. Please see the testing schedule below for more information.
Track practice began this last week. It is great to see so many of our students involved. We have two home track meets on the schedule this year. Please see the attached information below for the full schedule.
With Patton Pride,
Dr. Tyler Fowler
Principal
