Patriot Family Gazette 2/23/24

Patriot Families,

We are trickling into the last week of February, enjoying some great early spring weather, and wrapping up the 3rd nine weeks soon! We have two weeks left until spring break, with some great opportunities for our community to come see the great things we are doing here at Jack. Please don't forget about our spirit night on Monday at FD's Grillhouse! A percentage of the proceeds come back to our PTA to help our campus.

Also, next Friday is our annual Watch DOG Donuts with Dudes event. You can pre-register using the information below in the newsletter. Pre-registration closes on February 27th. The last week before spring break brings us Read Across America week and our annual Jack Parade Day. We love this event as we invite you to come and see it for yourself (more details below in the campus flyer).

Have a great weekend and we will see everyone on Monday!

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!
