Show Your Favorite Teachers How Much You Care

Order your PATS (Parents Appreciating Teachers & Staff) to show your teachers and school staff how much you and your child appreciate all they do!

Your tax-deductible contribution to PATS not only provides your teacher with a certificate of appreciation and gift, but ensures that innovation will continue to be supported in classrooms throughout the district through IPSF’s Innovative Grants Program.
