Dear Families,
The first month of school has been very exciting. I have enjoyed getting to know the staff and students of Patterson. I have mentioned to several people that this is a special place, and I can see why Patterson is known for its community feel. I appreciate everyone who has welcomed me to the district. My transition has been much smoother than I anticipated due to the amount of well wishes and support that I have received. I am looking forward to continuing the strong educational tradition of Patterson and Holly Area Schools.
The teachers are hard at work building relationships with your children, while providing quality instruction. The students are busy completing all the beginning of the year assessments that are used to drive instruction throughout the course of the year. Next week, we will be celebrating homecoming. Make sure you take notice of the “spirit days” that we will be recognizing during the week. Patterson will continue to take part in the homecoming parade. I hope to see as many of you as possible when it comes time to march.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Yours in education,
Jacob Haynes

STUDENT DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
Just a couple of reminders about our drop off and pick up procedures:
Drop off:
- Students can enter the building at 8:40. Supervision is not available prior to that unless they are enrolled in Latchkey.
- Breakfast is served from 8:40 - 8:55 daily.
- Students are considered tardy if they are not in class by 8:55.
Pick Up:
- School ends at 3:56 on full days and 12:00 on half days.
- Students who leave for the day after 2:56 will be marked tardy for the afternoon..
- Carline pick up is running smoother each day. Remind your child(ren) to look for their car while they wait.
RIVERSIDE DRIVE PICKUP
Also, we have had many complaints from the homeowners that live on that street that driveways are being blocked. Please be courteous and do not block driveways. Also, cars are to line up on only one side of the street to allow emergency vehicles access.
