Patterson Elementary is a collaborative community that ensures high student academic achievement.

Patterson Elementary will prepare ALL students for the demands and opportunities of the 21st century by providing quality instruction to ALL students.

Hello Patterson Families!

Tuesday is Election Day! There is no school for students on November 7.

The Conroe ISD Board adopted new guidelines regarding student cell phone use during the October Board meeting. While it is not a substantial guideline change at the elementary level, there are changes in which parents need to be aware. Please read the changes in the cell phone policy below.

Positive reinforcement is not just for kids! We'd like to reward our hard working Patterson staff by collecting $5 to $10 gift cards (Target, Starbucks, Walmart, Sonic, Chick-fil-A, etc.) as fun incentives. Please drop them off in the front office. This cannot be done without your generous donations.

Kona Ice was rescheduled last week due to the weather. The due date is November 8th.

Please don't miss our school-wide Patterson Fall Festival this Friday, November 10th from 5-7 pm. There will be games, bounce houses, food, raffles, and a silent auction! This is a family event for all! Join us!

Please help keep everyone safe by staying in the car rider line if you are bringing your child to school in the morning. Buses unload in the front of our school and walking through the bus zone is not safe.

Our school hours are 8:00 a.m. to 3:10 p.m., however our doors are open to students at 7:15 each morning. Breakfast is from 7:15 to 7:55 and students are considered tardy at 8:00 a.m.

Please follow Patterson Elementary and Patterson PTO on Facebook for updates, reminders, pictures, and campus happenings.

I am honored to serve the Puma community. At Patterson Elementary, it is our goal to create a safe, caring, and positive learning experience for all children. I will nurture a school community where parents, teachers, staff, and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social/emotional growth. I look forward to working together to provide an outstanding learning experience for every Patterson Puma!

We are Patterson Pumas and we have PRIDE!

Melissa Ralston,

Principal

The Conroe ISD Board adopted new guidelines regarding student cell phone use during the October Board meeting. While it is not a substantial guideline change at the elementary level, there are changes in which parents need to be aware. Our Foundations team is working to ensure that these procedures are being implemented on our campus and that we are helping students adapt to these changes. The student handbook is currently being updated to reflect these changes. The new guidelines state the following:

• Cell phones and smartwatches may be used respectfully and responsibly before school and after school.

• Cell phones and smartwatches should not be used to capture video, audio, or images at school or on the bus.

• Cell phones and smartwatches should be set on silent mode and kept in backpacks, lockers, or other designated storage areas and should not be visible during school hours including instructional time, reward time, free time, lunch, and in the hallways.

• Use of cell phones and smartwatches may be permitted in extenuating circumstances with permission from a staff member. (ex. to notify parent/ guardian of a late bus)

Bartlett Elementary is a new school opening next year. Their will be changes to the Patterson attendance zone. The committee's efforts for establishing the 2024-2025 elementary attendance boundaries related to the opening of Janet K. Bartlett Elementary School are continuing. Updates, FAQs, and summaries of the public meetings on the process are accessible at www.conroeisd.net.

This event is to bring awareness to attendance and the importance of showing up to school in a fun way. Students would wear a superhero themed shirt to symbolize Superhero's showing up for attendance on November 15!

Conroe ISD Library Services enabled daily email notifications, so you are informed of the items checked out by your student. Daily emails will list the item(s) currently checked out. If the book(s) your student selected is not a good fit, please have your student return it to the campus library and choose a new title. If you have questions about the book(s), please contact the school librarian. Notifications for these daily messages can be managed in Parent Access Center (PAC). If you don’t have a PAC account, you will need to register for one to access the email settings. You can also view the item(s) your student checked out by logging in to Destiny Discover through your student's SSO account. You can further manage your student’s access to library materials by completing the Library Access Form found on the Library Services website along with viewing other helpful information. Please do not reply to this email as it comes from an unmonitored email account.

Just a few reminders from the clinic:

Any medications whether over-the-counter or prescription, must be brought to the clinic by a parent or guardian in the original labeled container and be FDA approved. The students can not transport any medication. This is for your child’s safety.

Please be sure to notify the school of any phone number changes. We need the most current numbers in case your child needs to be picked up or there is an emergency situation. Keep your child at home if they demonstrate any of the following:

1.Fever of 100 degrees or more

2.Suspected contagious disease

3.Vomiting or Diarrhea

4.Severe stomachache, headache or earache

5.A child who is too ill to function in the classroom

Our goal is to keep your children safe, healthy and learning in the classroom. I hope this year will be full of great experiences for you and your child. I am excited to share in the journey!
