From the Desk of the Principal

Santa's Workshop: Out PTO will be hosting the Santa's Workshop here at Pat Ham during school hours December 11th thru December 13th. Please look for Santa Workshop envelopes to be sent home with your student(s). Our students look forward every year to having the opportunity to purchase gifts for loved ones, and we are very thankful to our PTO for making this happen. Please reach out ot the PTO if you are interested in volunteering for this event!

END OF DAY CALLS and PICK UPS: You must call the office by 3:00 p.m. to make arrangements for your student to go home a different way. This is a policy that we have had in place and unfortunately have to enforce. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Cold Weather: Cold weather as arrived and this means we need families to start sending students to school with warm coats, hats and gloves. Please make sure they have a change of shoes as well so they are able to remove their boots when they arrive at school.

Bus Rider Families: Please ensure you arrive at the bus stop for pickup and are prepared to board the bus 5 to 10 minutes early each day. This will help the drivers maintain their schedule and adhere to the designated routes. Thank you!

Outside Lunches: The district does not allow outside lunches to be delivered or brought into school for the students.

Sick Children: Please call the office and report that you are keeping your child home due to illness. The Cass Van Buren Health Department requires our school to report illnesses every week.
