FCS Garden Program

Spring is almost here!! The FCS classes will begin tilling and amending the soil in the next few weeks and will do our traditional planting of peas and other cool weather crops on St. Patrick's Day. Before the end of school, we will have replanted for Summer. All the veggies go towards the FCS classes and the Food Bank. We need your help to maintain the raised beds over the Summer. If you and your family would like to adopt a bed for a week or more please contact Miss Hisler at khisler@ucfsd.org or Miss Ballard at bballard@ucfsd.org

Homework Requests

If a student has been absent for two or more consecutive days, parents or guardians may call the office at 610-347-2000 before 9:00 AM to request homework and class work. We ask that you speak directly with a member of the office staff when making this type of request. Please do not leave requests for class and/or homework assignments on staff members’voice mail systems or staff members' email. Parents are asked to collect all materials in the office to insure that all assignments reach the student. School personnel will retrieve needed books and materials from lockers. For additional CFPMS procedures and school policies, please view the Parent Handbook located under the "Quick Links" drop-down menu at the top of the Patton Middle School website.
