The Patrick Parent Post

Principal's Message
Dear Parents,
I hope you are enjoying your last few weeks of summer! We are excited about the promise a new school year brings. Teachers and staff can’t wait to welcome you to the 2018-19 school year!
Speaking of welcomes, welcome to the first addition of the Patrick Parent Post! This is our new, monthly newsletter designed to keep parents informed in addition to the weekly Constant Contact emails. Our goal is to provide you with timely, useful communication and enhance the partnership between home and school.
Please join us for Open House/Registration on Thursday, August 2 from 9:30-12:00. Please start in the cafeteria to verify your child's bus route, obtain a car rider tag, and get cafeteria information. You will also be able to join PTA and purchase Patrick spirit wear. Once you are finished in the cafeteria, you may proceed to your child's classroom to meet the teacher. Teachers will collect bus and car numbers from you to ensure a safe trip home on the first day.
I encourage you to get involved throughout the school year. There are multiple opportunities to engage in your child’s educational experience. We hope you will join us for Open House/Registration, Curriculum Nights, and fall and spring conferences. You can also stay plugged in by regularly visiting your child’s eClass page and the Parent Portal. In addition, we have a wonderful Patrick Elementary PTA that welcomes your membership and involvement.
Thank you for your continued support of Patrick Elementary School. We look forward to a "Puptastic" school year!
Honored to be your principal,
Stephanie Stewart
