Patriot Family Gazette 3/5/23

Patriot Families,

We are in the home stretch towards Spring Break, with one week to go! Next week is going to be a busy one, as we close out the 3rd Nine Weeks with some exciting events. On Wednesday, we culminate our APEX Leadership Fundraiser with our Fun Run! There is a link below in the newsletter where we are looking for volunteers to help out, we'd love to have you here! Also, on Friday, we will have our annual Math, Science, and Character Parades. This is an exciting event for the whole school and will be completed in the morning. Times are listed below. Don't forget, early release on Friday, March 10th, please make arrangements.

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.
