PATCO NEEDS YOU
Many of our Parent leaders have children that graduated or families have moved please stop in the main office or at the security desk and leave your name and number and let us know you are interested in being a part of our parent organization.
Attendance
If you are getting a letter from the Principal in the next few weeks it may have to do with your child's attendance. Please know that seat hours are VERY IMPORTANT IN HIGH SCHOOL. The grade doesn't matter if they are not in school they will not get credit for the course.
That means they don't move forward with their cohort which means they will not be prepared to gradutate with their class.

Lunch Applications - Past Due
We need lunch applications from every child in the building. This is how the state calculates the money allotted to schools. Your application equals dollars for the school for resources, materials, staffing, and programs.
Students who normally receive free or reduced lunch and you have not submitted an application by October 1 your child will have to pay for their lunch. If a form is returned to you please correct it immediately.
