Dear Patterson Families,

It is hard to imagine that we are already halfway through the 2019-2020 school year! Our students have been hard at work with our school-wide focus on communicating reasoning in math and writing. 

Thank you to our Booster Club and many volunteers for their hard work on our annual Patterson Carnival and Auction.  Currently the event has brought in over $11,000 for our community!  We also want to thank our Booster Club for their recent purchase of forty-one chromebooks.  We have a goal of becoming a 1-1 school in grades 3-6 in addition to grade-level chromebook carts in 1-2 and iPads in our kindergarten rooms. We are just one chromecart away from accomplishing this goal thanks to support from our community.

I also wanted to share about a new family math challenge being posted to our Facebook and Twitter sites.  These tasks will be posted weekly and encourage families to work together to explore and talk through them together.  We encourage you to comment back with your findings and thoughts about the problems.  This new activity comes as a response to parent feedback and we hope it will build math confidence for the whole family!

Please continue to stay up to date via this website, our Facebook page, our Twitter feed and our weekly Parent Blast newsletters.  Please reach out to our office if there is anything we can assist you with.

Sincerely,

Jamie Lentz, Principal
