Patton Giving Tree

The Patton Hawk-Elves were busy today! Students delivered the Giving Tree gifts to the New Garden Township Building and then spent a few hours organizing food donations for The Kennett Area Community Services. KACS provides temporary assistance for families in the Kennett, UCF, and Avon Grove school districts. A big shout out to all the Patton families who donated gifts, to our Patton elf-helpers as well as our chief elves, Mrs. Ferron and Mrs. Schultz who make the Giving Tree and the trip a reality every year!

SwiftK12 Communications System

We will be conducting an emergency test on November 30th at approximately 11a.m. Families will receive a test message from the district by text, phone and email. Following the emergency test, we will send out phone and email messages confirming that all our families received a communication from the district. If you feel you need to make changes to your contact information, a step by step guide is attached. The SwiftK12 System is integrated into PowerSchool and allows you to set your text, phone, and email message preferences. You now have the opportunity to set up your contact preferences using the parent portal. For help, see the Swift K12 Instructional Manual.
