What a great week we had here at Patch Middle School! Our students are settling into routines, and our 6th graders are making a smooth transition to life in the Wolfpack. From learning their way around campus to participating in class discussions and activities, they’re showing confidence and excitement for the year ahead.
As we move through the first quarter, our school-wide norms remain a priority. Consistent expectations—in classrooms, hallways, on the bus, and at recess help every student feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.
This quarter, our PAWS focus is Showing Respect. We invite families to help us reinforce this message at home. A quick conversation about what respect for self and others looks like—listening when someone speaks, using kind words, and caring for personal and school property—helps students see that respect isn’t just a school rule; it’s a way of operating every day.
When families and staff share the responsibility of supporting students in these habits, we give them the strongest foundation for success. Thank you for encouraging and modeling positive behavior.  Together we’re building a caring, respectful, and responsible Wolfpack community!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Gamble and Mr. Myrga

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.
