Thank You & Happy Holidays
As we come to the closing of 2024, we wanted to thank you all for your support of your Patton PTA! We couldn’t do any of the awesome programs for our students and teachers without all of the parent support that we have. We were very successful at fundraising this fall, thanks to your generosity. We hope to continue planning amazing events where we can all gather together in 2025 and become an even stronger community. I encourage you to get involved and check out a PTA meeting, if you haven’t already. Enjoy your holidays and looking forward to seeing many of you in 2025!
Jamie Knapstein and The Entire PTA Exec Team

- Fill out the Google Form and Volunteer Now!
- As a reminder: Kiddos need to be seated on the right side(curbside) or have access to get in and out curbside if you are utilizing the car line. Our volunteers can not for safety reasons for both the student and volunteer load or unload a student from the left side of the car.
You may see our wonderful traffic team out setting up before 8:50 am. They aren’t quite ready to receive our wonderful students. Please arrive after 8:50 am. Please note there is no supervision until 8:50 am. Please make sure kids aren’t arriving before then as our traffic volunteers can not supervise.
Just a reminder there is no supervision until 8:50am so please do not drop your child off before then. The traffic team is not responsible for supervising your child.
