Sincerely,
Your Patterson Office Team and PTA
Welcome to Patterson Elementary for the 2022-2023 School Year!
You may log into ParentVue anytime after Friday 8/12/2021 at 4:00pm to see your child's assigned teacher for the school year.
We will also be holding an optional Meet 'n Greet on Monday, August 15th at 2:30pm. This is a great opportunity for your child to find their classroom and meet their teacher. You may also drop off school supplies during Meet 'n' Greet. If you ordered school supplies through the PTA, they will be delivered to your child's classroom for Meet 'n' Greet.
Our first official day of school is Thursday, August 18th for all 1st-5th graders. Students will enter the building upon arrival between 8:50-9:05am. The bell rings to start the day at 9:05am. Masks are optional. Kindergarten students will have a 1 hour orientation on this day. This orientation is for the kindergarten student and their parent/guardian. Please look below for your scheduled time:

Save the date for our in-person curriculum night: August 24th 6:30-8:00pm. This event is for parents. It is an opportunity to learn about the curriculum that your child will be taught this school year.

Arrival/Dismissal Information

Wednesday AM:
As in years past, we will follow a late start on Wednesday mornings so staff can engage in professional development. This late start delays both school drop off and morning bus schedules. It does not affect dismissal times.
9:00 am Doors Open
9:15am School Begins
Monday-Friday Dismissal:
3:35pm Dismissal each day
Please review the arrival/dismissal plan here: This year, we will resume lining up in the gym for car line dismissal. Each family will receive a car number. Car numbers will be available for pick up in your child's classroom at Meet and Greet. Car numbers should be clearly posted in your front window during arrival and dismissal so staff can clearly see them to ensure quick pick up and drop off.
