Patriot Family Gazette 1/31/25

Patriot Families,

We wrapped up January by celebrating High Growth and High Achievement campus wide with our middle of the year testing in each grade level! What a great start to 2025 and we look forward to continued success as we set new goals. We had some great performances last night at Math, Makers and more and are thankful for all that were able to come out and explore math concepts throughout the building.

February is a busy month as we kick off our focus of Habit #6, synergize. We have several opportunities to engage our parents including our book fair week, in which we host Lunch with a Loved One (see schedule below). The Book Fair also includes opportunities to volunteer in our library and signups can be found at this link: https://signup.com/go/GwrvnEQ. We will also be hosting our annual Valentine's Day parties on February 14th.

Reminder: We have spring picture day on Monday, February 3rd. We will be doing individual and class photos for the spring.

We still have some goals we are trying to meet, so if you have not joined our wonderful PTA, you can do so by clicking on this link: jackpta.com.

Thank you for partnering with us and we are blessed to serve,

Brett Shelby

February 11th-14th is Lunch with a Loved one and also our last book fair of the year! Mrs. Hefley could use our help to assist shoppers, restock books, and tidy the book fair as the day goes on. Please consider signing up for a shift to help everything run smoothly for the students and their loved ones.
