Pat Butler Weekly Update
Dear Pat Butler Families,
Thank you for another great week! Thank you for supporting our Going Gold event to support and spread awareness about pediatric cancer.
Also, thank you for joining us at Bingo this week. It was a fun way to gather together as a Pat Butler family. Congratulations to all of the winners. Thank you Christina Tavarez, Aracely Gonzalez, Makenna James, Caitlin Newkirk and Sarah Berry for assisting with Bingo and 5th grade science camp concession sales.
Morning Drop-off
Please be aware that starting this week, there will be cones blocking off the second lane of cars entering the drop off lane. There should only be one drop off lane and all adults dropping off in this lane must stay in their cars. Students should exit the car from the door facing the curb.
The top parking lot is NOT a drop off lane. If you are walking your student in, you must park in a designated parking spot or in the surrounding neighborhood. All Kindergarten and TK students must be walked in. Also, you may not park in designated handicap parking places without displaying a handicap parking permit. We have students and staff that need access to these designated spaces.
Thank you for partnering with us to ensure that student safety is at the forefront of all decision making. Please consider arriving closer to 7:40 a.m. in order to make the morning routines more safe and calm.

Parent University-The Importance of College and Career Readiness
College and Career Readiness Starts Early!
Building success muscles from the start.
Success in college and careers isn’t built overnight-it starts with habits developed in elementary and junior high school. We are helping your child build the “success muscles” that matter: Curiosity, Organization, Responsibility, Collaboration and Problem-Solving. These foundational skills today become the confidence and competence your child needs tomorrow.
When: Wednesday, March 4th at 6:00 p.m. -7:00 p.m.
Where: The District Office Board Room
