We’re excited to welcome our students and families to a new school year at Patch Middle School! The halls are once again filled with energy and enthusiasm as we kicked off the year with school-wide expectations sessions, team-building activities, and plenty of fun to build community and set the tone for a successful year.
At Patch MS, our PAWS program—Problem Solving, Always Care, Work Hard, and Show Respect—serves as the foundation for everything we do. These values guide our students in their learning, interactions, and personal growth throughout the year.
Our teachers are ready and eager to dive into meaningful learning experiences, and we know that student success is strongest when we work together. A thriving school community is built on partnership—between students, staff, and families. Your involvement, encouragement, and communication play a vital role in helping your child feel supported and engaged.
We invite you to stay connected—whether it’s through attending school events, checking in on your child’s progress, or simply reaching out to teachers and staff. Together, we can make this school year one of growth, achievement, and joy.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Gamble and Mr. Myrga

We are excited to welcome families to this year’s Open House. The evening will begin in students’ Advisory classrooms, where parents will receive an overview of Patch Middle School, including our programs, procedures, and the many ways we support student success each day. Following this session, parents will have the opportunity to visit classrooms, meet teachers, and explore their child’s learning spaces.
Patch Middle School was filled with excitement as students returned for the new school year, kicking things off with a fantastic first week captured in some truly heartwarming photos! Our PAWS Camp was a huge hit, giving students a fun and engaging introduction to our school-wide norms while helping them build connections with their teachers and classmates. From learning how to open lockers to exploring the hallways and getting comfortable with their schedules, students embraced every moment with curiosity and enthusiasm. The energy was contagious, and it’s clear—we’re off to a PAWS-itively amazing start at Patch MS!
At Patch Middle School, we take pride in recognizing students who demonstrate respect in meaningful ways—toward their peers, teachers, and the learning environment. Positive Office Referrals celebrate those who consistently uphold our school-wide expectations by showing responsibility, honoring differences, and contributing to a culture of mutual respect. These students lead by example, helping to create a school community where everyone feels valued and safe. By practicing respectful behavior in their daily interactions, they strengthen relationships and set the tone for a positive and productive school year.
