Welcome Back!
Hello Paddy Hill Families! It has been an awesome first three days of school and we have loved getting to welcome both our returning and new students to the building. The amount of smiles, hugs, laughter and learning is through the roof and we can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.
Paddy Hill is a Leader in Me school. We learn and try to live by the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Kids. This month, as a school we are working on Habit #1, Being Proactive. This includes following directions the first time, doing work first then play, asking for help, and using the correct voice level. Each time students or a class are caught being proactive, they will earn a Leadership Ticket. If as a school we earn enough leadership tickets to fill the large bucket in the main office, all students and staff will celebrate with a school wide celebration at the end of the month!
Lastly, the first Friday of every month, a newsletter like this will come out to communicate important events, information, and the great things happening at Paddy Hill. Be sure to continue reading below to see what is happening in September!

Arrivial and Dismissal
Car Rider Arrival: Just a friendly reminder that when you drop your child(ren) off in the car rider drop zone, we ask that you pull up as far as possible to get as many cars in the zone as we can. This will avoid congestion on Mt. Read Blvd. Time for drop off is 9:10-9:20 am. Please do not arrive before 9:10 am. If you would like to walk your child to the side door, please park in a parking spot and walk over. Otherwise, students in the car lane are just to get out, while parents stay in the vehicle.
Car Rider Dismissal: For the safety of all members of our Paddy Hill community, please do not arrive before 3:15pm as we are blocking traffic on Latta Rd. If you need to arrive earlier than 3:15pm, we ask that you park in the parking lot until 3:15 and then loop around to enter the bus loop via Latta Road. This allows us to keep the Fire Lane clear as long as possible. Car riders may be picked up until 3:55pm and as a reminder, if you are picking up a student at dismissal, you need to use the PikMyKid app. If you have trouble with the app or are unsure how to use it, please call the Main Office at 966-3700.
