Patriot Family Gazette 2/16/24

Patriot Families,

It's been a busy few months during January and February! We had a great time this week celebrating Lunch with a Loved One and Valentine's Day with our families. Thank you from all of us at Jack for continued support of our Patriots. The next few week's slow down a bit as we will be completing TELPAS testing next week, and benchmarks at the end of February. We also have our class and spring pictures coming up on February 23rd.

Mark your calendars for March 1st and don't forget to pre-register for Donuts with Dudes. Then we only have one week left until Spring Break. The year is flying by and we can't say enough how much we have enjoyed seeing your Patriots lead, grow and learn at Jack!

Honored to partner and serve,

Brett Shelby

- 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.

How can you purchase baseball merchandise specific for Tyler Legacy? The link below is a store the baseball team has set up selling spirit gear and items are available in youth sizes. The online store includes specifics for delivery to each school and a baseball booster club member will deliver the items to each elementary/middle school once the orders come in should your students order. We are currently exploring options to have a Future Red Raiders program with baseball. Thanks so much!
