A Note From Mr. Christ
Dear Paddock Families,
Even with the rainy weather today, I hope you are all are enjoying your weekend. I am extremely excited for Paddock's Back To School Picnic event this Tuesday from 5:00pm-7:00pm at the Paddock playground and field!! This is one of our most highly attended events, bringing together our students, families, and staff for a fun filled afternoon. If you plan to drive to this event, please remember to abide by all traffic rules and parking signs to avoid a potential traffic or parking citation from the Palatine Police.
Thank you to the Paddock PTA for organizing this event. I hope to see everyone there!
Sincerely-
Jason Christ
Principal

Upcoming Lockdown Drill
On Monday, September 26th, we will have our first lockdown drill of the school year. Over the next two weeks, teachers will review procedures for various settings and expected behavior with the students so they are prepared for the drill. As with all lockdown drills, a Palatine police officer will be present to monitor the drill and provide feedback on strengths and areas of improvement.
If you prefer your child does NOT participate in the yearly required lockdown drills, please complete this form. Please submit one form for each of your children you are opting out.
