Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year at Palmyra Elementary School!
As principal of Palmyra Elementary School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school website. As an educational team, we at Palmyra Elementary School are dedicated to academic excellence and holding high expectations to ensure that each and every student will be successful learners. We are committed to creating a safe and positive learning environment where staff and students promote and model safe, responsible and respectful behavior in order to provide each student the best learning opportunity. We are dedicated to providing the necessary programs to help students meet their greatest potential.
Along with academic excellence, Palmyra Elementary School is committed to the social and emotional needs of our students. We offer site-based counseling and social skills training to help students form positive relationships. We encourage students to be kind and take a stand against bullying as well.
Palmyra Elementary School recognizes that the world is changing around us daily and that technology is a huge part of that. Therefore, we strive to engage students through the use of various means of technology including the use of Chromebooks, Ipads, and tablets. Students also have access to two, 30 station, computer labs. In addition, each classroom teacher has an interactive whiteboard and document cameras for teaching daily lessons. These whiteboards and cameras allow students to participate in the lesson through interactive activities.
To ensure your child has the best educational experience, I ask that you become involved as much as possible in your child’s academic career. Simple things like asking about your child’s day, ensuring your child completes all homework assignments, reading with them, communicating with your child’s teacher, making sure your child attends and arrives to school on time every day, and volunteering are great ways to do so. Volunteers are important resources in any school and we can always use your help in the classrooms, field trips and Home & School activities.
Our district has embraced the technology revolution by providing us with many tools that allow us to communicate in more quick manners. I urge everyone to make sure your child’s teacher and the main office have the most up to date email addresses and cell phone numbers to ensure you receive the information our school will deliver via these systems. Also, please check our school webpage frequently for newsletters, announcements, calendar of events, lunch menus, school supplies and much more at www.peasd.org.
