     Welcome to Alexander M. Patch Elementary located in Stuttgart, Germany. It is part of  the Department of Defense Dependents Schools (DODDS) system which operates schools world-wide for children of military sponsors, Department of Defense civilians, and State Department personnel. Patch ES was opened in 1979 and provides instruction to about 500 students from kindergarten through grade five. The sixth grade was moved out effective  SY06/07 with students attending RB or Böblingen Middle Schools. The school staff averages around 45 and includes two administrators, classroom teachers, specialists, and clerical and technical personnel.
