Patriot Nation,

Thank you for such a great start to the school year! We have surpassed 300 members and counting to our PTA. We have our time honored tradition this week on Friday September 9th where we honor our namesake, Dr. Bryan C. Jack. We hope you can make it. We also have our Watch DOGS kickoff event on Thursday September 8th. We can't say enough how much we have already felt the support this year and look forward to continuing to serve you and our Patriots! See you tomorrow!

- Please drop off by 7:50. Our tardy bell rings at that time and we want our Patriots ready to learn with us.

- We cannot release kids after 2:45 due to dismissal procedures. If you have appointments, please make arrangements to pick up by this time.

- If you are dropping off before 7:15, please use the back loop. This area is staffed and students are directed to the cafe or gym. After 7:15, our front loop will be open.

- Please see information below about new No Parking, Stopping, Standing Signs that have been installed by the City of Tyler.

Our annual Patriot Day Ceremony will be September 9th at 9am at Jack. We look forward to honoring our namesake as we do each year. We invite you to join, as well as if you are a current or former service member or first responder, we would like to honor you. We hope you can make it!

The City of Tyler did a traffic study on our dismissal locations in the past few weeks. They have now installed No Parking, Standing, Stopping Signs from 2:30-3:30 on Balsam Gap and Rock Point. This area not be accessible during this time. Both sides of RockPoint Lane and the cross walk area have been marked. Our front car loop will extend through RockPoint Lane along Balsam Gap as necessary.

We know this is a new process and understand that with this change we may have some new issues arise. The City of Tyler traffic engineers deemed this the safest solution. If you have any questions please let us know.

Our feeder high school, Tyler Legacy will be having a homecoming parade at Legacy on September 6th at 6:30. They would love our support as feeder campus. We hope you can make it!

Our first Watch DOGS meeting will be at Jack on September 8th at 6pm. We will have pizza and talk about this new program at Jack. Please RSVP by September 2nd so we can order enough pizza. If you have questions please reach out to Laura Boyd at Laura.Boyd@tylerisd.org. We hope to see you there! More information can be found at this link:
