Hopefully, this school has changed. B/C, prior to this year..it was a sad situation. There has been zero parent involvement. The pta board has tried to do things, but w/ little to no support of any parents. As far as curriculum, they are way behind. They do not ability group. And, they are a title

My 2nd graders have been enrolled at Patterson since age 3. We absolutely love all of our teachers and all of their special helpers - past and present!

Be sure to bring smiles and constructive ideas about how to make Patterson an even better place for all of our children and their families. We also encourage those who have some time - more importantly A CALLING - to do so, to enter the next election for positions on our PTA board! K Crisp - RFP PTA Treasurer Read less

Patterson has come a long way this year! It's still early in the school year, but I have already seen many changes for the better! Our new principal is full of energy and loves working with the children and staff. Our teachers have always been great, but they seem happier with their work environment!
... Read more When they're happier, the children are, too! Our PTA is much more visible than they've been the past few years! We, as parents, are given many invitations and opportunities to participate. That's up to US!! As far as being 'pushed' into it, every PTA and student benefits from more parent involvement. It shows our kids their education is important to us! Not everyone can volunteer their time, but everyone can help by joining PTA... and the school and the children will be better off because of it! How sad that not everyone would jump at that opportunity!! Read less
