PATTON EDITION
Krewe du Lycée
This year’s Krewe Du Lycée will roll on February 12th at 1:30pm. Each class will be working on a class/grade level theme. Room parents will be contacting class parents for assistance with class costumes.

We understand that not all families celebrate Mardi Gras. Engaging, enjoyable activities will be provided for students opting out of Mardi Gras activities. Please notify your child(ren)'s teacher and Ms. Katie by February 7th   if your child(ren) will not participate.
Parade Route
The students will start on Patton, turn left on Eleonore St., left on Constance St., left on State and return to Patton. The parade will begin promptly at 1:30 PM and is expected to be over at 2:15 PM .
King Cake Ceremony
The kids will enjoy their King Cakes BEFORE the parade to ensure pick up AFTER the parade runs more smoothly. We are asking parents/guardians to donate king cakes for this celebration. If you are donating a King Cake to the class you must bring it in, LABELED with your child's teacher's name on Wednesday, February 12th at School AM Drop Off. Staff members will receive the cakes from you during the AM Drop Off.
Pick Up Procedures
At the conclusion of the parade all classes (students only) will return to their classrooms to pack and get ready for dismissal. After approximately 10 minutes, parents will be allowed to enter the building and go directly to classrooms to pick up their child(ren). Every parent must sign his or her child out on forms provided by teachers . Once a parent signs their child out, the teacher will place a stamp on the hand of the child to indicate that the child has been properly checked out. Staff members will be posted at the exits to make certain all students have been properly checked out prior to leaving the building.

While dismissal will occur following the parade, regular (Wednesday) dismissal will take place at 3:05pm for parents who have not picked up their child(ren) at the end of the parade.
February 14: Valentine's Day Guidance
Students are allowed to bring Valentine's Day cards/treats, only if cards/treats are provided for every student in your class . Please encourage parents/guardians to provide healthy snacks/ treats for this day and limit the amount of sweet treats.
February Dress Down Day
February 7 will be our $1 donation dress down day. Show your class spirit by dressing in your grade-level color! Each grade level was randomly assigned a color that represents a character trait. Every color is important and every class is a valuable part of our school. Let's represent our positive character traits and wear our class colors!

  • PreK - Red - Caring 
  • Kindergarten - Purple - Generosity 
  • 1st Grade - Green - Respect 
  • 2nd Grade - Blue - Leadership 

While we want to give students the freedom to choose their outfits, there are reasonable dress expectations. Students may not wear spaghetti-strap tank tops or clothing with advertisements, political messages or vulgar words. Please follow the uniform code for clothing and shoes. All shoes must be closed-toe. 
This is an incredible giving opportunity for our students and families alike. Did you know that all Dress Down days will support the Patton campus STEM Activities and teacher appreciation? Thanks for supporting your school, teachers, and staff.
