Building Leaders of Tomorrow

From the Principal's pen...

Patriot Families,

The first full week of the 2024-25 school year is in the books! We are so excited to have all of our families back on campus and hope that your Patriot has been eager to return each day to learn and grow with us. We finished up some beginning of the year assessments this week and will continue to assess next week so we can meet the needs of all of our leaders throughout the fall semester.

We have some great events headed you way this week with the beginning of the 34th Annual Pantry Raid to support the East Texas Food Bank. We were recognized last year as the campus with the most collected canned good across the district. Next Friday, here at Jack, we will host Coffee with Admin at 9:00. This is an opportunity to meet and greet the leadership team and learn more about our campus.

Patriot Dad's, mark your calendars for September 5th, as we will host our 3rd Annual Watch DOG Pizza Night. This is an opportunity to learn about our Watch DOG program and meet other Patriot Dad's as well.

If you have not joined our wonderful PTA, you can do so by clicking on this link: www.joinpta.org. Last year we had the highest number of members in Tyler ISD with over 500 members and we have almost already surpasses our August goals.

NOTE: As temperatures continue to remain high, we will be limiting recess time or even do our recess indoors. We will follow the regulations of Tyler ISD. If you can, please make sure your child has a water bottle so they do not overheat.

We look forward to another amazing week!
