The Patton Traffic Team really does need help!

We still have openings on every shift (AM and PM every day). We also need more subs who can fill in for inevitable emergencies. If you can help one day a week, or even less often, that would make a difference to help keep our kids safe!

If you have any opportunities to help, fill out our form or email us at pattontrafficteam@gmail.com. Even if you're not sure, let us know if you think you could help sometimes.

Volunteer To Help With PTA Events This Year!

Hello Patton Community! Volunteering is one of the best ways to get involved in the Patton community. Your PTA invites you to indicate via this survey the volunteer opportunities you may be interested in during the 2025-26 school year. Please sign up for as MANY opportunities as you are interested in. We know it can be hard to plan ahead at times, so please keep in mind that saying YES to a particular event(s) does not automatically commit you or obligate you to volunteer. It simply provides us a good place to start!


Here is some clarification for some terms you will see as you fill out this form:

  • Volunteer: A volunteer is a person interested in helping the day of the event. This could be, but is not limited to, setting up, manning a station, take down/clean up, etc.
  • Committee Member: A committee member is a person interested in helping the
  • Committee Chair(s) to plan, organize and (if available) volunteer at the event.



Thank you for your help...we could not put on the wonderful programs, services and activities for our children that we do without our parent community! Thank you for offering your time!

Your Volunteer Coordinator,
Ashley Catalan

First and Second Grade Family Night: Friday, September 26th (6:30-7:30p) First and Second Grade Family Night: Friday, September 26th (6:30-7:30p)
