Welcome

On behalf of the entire staff at Patterson Road Elementary, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all our returning and new families! We're excited to embark on another year of learning, growth, and fun together.

At Patterson Road, we foster a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about creating engaging lessons that spark curiosity and a love of learning. We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with parents and guardians to ensure each student's success.

Throughout the year, you'll find this website to be a valuable resource for staying informed about upcoming events, important announcements, and school news. We encourage you to visit frequently and explore the wealth of information available.

We also welcome your active participation in our school community. Whether it's volunteering in the classroom, joining the PTA, or simply cheering on our Panthers at school events, your involvement makes a positive difference in the lives of our students.

Here at Patterson Road, we're committed to building strong partnerships between parents, teachers, and staff. We believe that by working together, we can create an exceptional learning experience for every child.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our staff. We're here to support you and your child throughout the school year.

We look forward to a fantastic year together!

 

With Panther Pride,

Nikki Sorensen
