Now that the colder weather has settled in, we know that many of our walkers and bikers will be joining the car line so we just wanted to send a little refresher!

• Please be mindful when you park and do not block any of the surrounding neighbors' driveways.

• Please pay attention to the “No Parking” signs that are posted on the streets around Patton.

• Please do not block any intersections while waiting to enter the carline.

• Please note - there is no parking in front of the school on Patton Ave. Please do not wait there to enter the pickup line at the end of the day - you will be asked to move.

• For morning drop off, please make sure your children are ready to exit the car when you pull up. All hats, coats, gloves and snow bags should be on and at the ready so your child/ren can quickly exit the car.

• Be mindful that once the car line is full overflow does park on Maude. Please respect those waiting and get in line.

• There are cones reserving parking spots for our wonderful volunteers. Please do not move them. Once the lot is full please find a parking spot on the surrounding streets and walk up to get your student.

• Please use respect and patience with our traffic volunteers. We are short handed at this time and are trying our best to keep the line moving in the afternoon so everyone can get to where they need to be after school.

Patton Panthers, get ready to turn the page to an exciting adventure! Our Patton Elementary School Book Fair is just around the corner.

We are in need of parent volunteers to work our Book Fair. Details below!

Date: February 11-14, 2025

Location: Patton Elementary School

Please sign up for a ~1 hour shift using the Sign Up Genius Link below.

• Help students purchase books/keep books organized & orderly (Feb. 13 shifts)

First shift of the day will help with minimal set-up needed to start the day and the final shift will help shut down the book fair for the day.
