Welcome back to a new school year! 2020 has brought us many challenges, but I am glad that I get to go through them with such a great community - Patterson is more than just a building we learn in, but a community made up of wonderful students, families and educators working hard to help our students learn and grow.

This school year is going to start out different, therefore Parent Blast are starting early and will come every Monday starting today. Hopefully this will allow you to receive timely updates and help everyone plan for a successful fall. Please take a minute to scroll through and reach out if you have any questions or feedback - lentzj@hsd.k12.or.us.

Here to serve,

Jamie Lentz

HSD Weekly Updates for Fall Planning

HSD 2020-2021 Return to School FAQ

Due to the fact that we are beginning the school year in Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) and supplies may be more challenging to secure, our school supply list has been condensed into one list for K-6. Any other supplies and/or materials needed will be ready for pick-up/delivery prior to the first day of school and will be provided by our school and community partners. We will provide any of these items you are unable to purchase or secure.

Elementary School Supply List 2020-2021:

• Pencils

• 2 -3 Regular Composition Notebooks/Spiral Notebooks

• 1 Graphing Composition Notebook (Grades 3 – 6)

• 1 Box Crayons

• 1 Box Colored Pencils

• 1 Eraser

• Glue Sticks or Glue Bottle

• Folder

• Pencil Box

• Headset/Earbuds with Microphone (if possible)

Students will also need a computer/Chromebook for Comprehensive Distance Learning which we will provide if needed.

• Socially distance if multiple people are present
• Take items but do not bring items back
• Bring a mask just in case multiple people/families are present
• Be mindful of others waiting to gather materials
• ENJOY!
