Several times each school year, Patron Tours provide community members the opportunity to see innovative teaching and learning in action and tour district facilities. This half-day event highlights the importance of community partnerships for reimagining excellence in schools.

A typical agenda for that day begins at 8:30 a.m. and concludes at 1 p.m.  The day begins with an inside look at food service operations and the central kitchen, followed by the Warehouse, Print Shop and EdTec, and concludes with a visit to three school sites: elementary, junior, and high school.  Attendees are served a complimentary lunch at the end of the tour schedule.
