May 2021
Dear Patterson Families,
As the 2020-2021 school year comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to express how fortunate I feel to be the Principal of our Patterson Pride! We continue to be inspired by your children on a personal and academic level each day. Thank you for being such a supportive and involved community and for working together to be a true "village" to our kids. Our students and staff are successful because of your continued commitment to excellence. I appreciate your time and effort in making our school one of Arizona’s finest.
Our school community is continuing to welcome more families to our Pride and we look forward to seeing you all return next year.
The upcoming 2021-2022 academic year will begin with parents receiving class/teacher placement information via email the week of July 12th. Meet the Teacher Night will be held as an open house on Monday, July 19th from 4:00-6:00pm. We hope all students and parents come to this very important and exciting evening. It is a perfect opportunity for you and your child to meet the teacher, meet some new classmates, and obtain information on buses, PTO, Kids Express childcare, Club CUSD, and much more.
The first day of school is Wednesday, July 21st. We are planning for an excellent year of learning in 2021-2022 and I am so thrilled to invite everyone back to the PRIDE!
Thank you again for making Patterson an “A” rated school and your school of choice. You have been involved with our students and teachers in a variety of ways and have made a positive impact on the culture of Patterson. On behalf of the staff, we truly thank you for a successful school year and look forward to seeing your children in July!
Live, Laugh, Learn, Leave a Legacy!
Ms. Stephens

Classroom Treat Reminder
At times, families may want to celebrate by providing treats for their child’s classroom. Please remember that food treats must be store bought and individually packaged by the manufacturer. We also encourage families to share items such as pencils, erasers, or other small treats in lieu of food.
Thank you, families for your generosity and commitment to health and safety.
