4 Days until open house! Letter's and info should be arriving in the mail!

Dear Paterson Students and Families,

Welcome back! I hope everyone has had a great summer. I am excited to get the 2026 to 2027 school year started and to have our students back in the building.

Please join us for Open House on Tuesday, August 25 from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. Come meet our staff, visit classrooms, reconnect with friends, and get ready for the year ahead.

Our first day of school is Wednesday, August 26.

One of our big themes this year will be goals. We want our students thinking about what they want to accomplish this year and where they want to be in the future. Students will have opportunities throughout the year to set goals, submit Goal Cards, and celebrate their growth and accomplishments.

Students, start thinking now:

**What is one goal you have for this school year? Please put it in the box when you arrive if you already have it written down.  {C:**

Families, we are looking forward to working with you. Strong schools are built on strong relationships, and your partnership is an important part of our success.

I am excited about the year ahead. Let's work hard, be kind, have some fun, and make it a great year!

See you soon!

Mr. Chavez
 Superintendent
 Paterson School District
