SHOUT OUTS To our Awesome Volunteers!

THANK YOU to Amanda Sharpe for being our Membership Committee Chair and all you do in the beginning of the year and then to keep everything updated throughout the year as new members join our PTA! We appreciate the time and effort you put in.


THANK YOU to Jim Graziano for being our Directory Spot Committee Chair and for keeping that resource up and running for our Patton families to use throughout the year. Your time and effort does not go unnoticed!


We would LOVE to shout out your name in our next newsletter! Can’t wait for YOU to get involved!

All parents are invited and encouraged to attend - we'd love to see you there! Even if you've never attended before, please consider attending! Your participation and presence makes a difference! Come see all that we do and learn more about where our budget goes, upcoming activities, hear from Mrs. Chin, and more. We promise we won’t make you volunteer for anything unless you want to!

Traffic Update

Now that the colder weather has settled in, we know that many of our walkers and bikers will be joining the car line so we just wanted to send a little refresher!

  • Please be mindful when you park and do not block any of the surrounding neighbors' driveways.

  • Please pay attention to the “No Parking” signs that are posted on the streets around Patton.

  • Please do not block any intersections while waiting to enter the carline.

  • Please note - there is no parking in front of the school on Patton Ave. Please do not wait there to enter the pickup line at the end of the day - you will be asked to move.

  • For morning drop off, please make sure your children are ready to exit the car when you pull up. All hats, coats, gloves and snow bags should be on and at the ready so your child/ren can quickly exit the car.

  • Be mindful that once the car line is full overflow does park on Maude. Please respect those waiting and get in line.

  • There are cones reserving parking spots for our wonderful volunteers. Please do not move them. Once the lot is full please find a parking spot on the surrounding streets and walk up to get your student.

  • Please use respect and patience with our traffic volunteers. We are short handed at this time and are trying our best to keep the line moving in the afternoon so everyone can get to where they need to be after school.


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.
