Panther Planner
Week of June 1-5, 2020
Weekly Update
This is the last Panther Planner of the 19-20 school year...and I have to say it is a bit bittersweet. We know that this year didn't end the way that any of us expected with the fun, fanfare, and festivities that are typical for the end of a school year. I hope that you do not let these last few months overshadow the hard work, happy memories, and huge growth that has taken place. We are so grateful for the way our Paloma students and families have embraced the challenges of Distance Learning and have done so with determination, grace, and collaboration with our staff. THANK YOU!
By now, I'm sure that you all know that Tuesday, June 2nd, is the last instructional day of this school year. It has certainly been a unique final quarter of the school year. As we enter into the final 2 instructional days we want to once again thank you for partnering with us during this time of Distance Learning.
Please be sure to read the information in the sections BELOW to gain the information needed as we collect devices and instructional materials, scheduled for June 3-5.
While we do not yet know all the specific details of what the beginning of the next school year will look like, we know that as a Paloma family, we will take it on and rise to the occasion to make the best learning opportunities for our students. As of right now, we are hopeful that we will be able to open in August with some form of 'in-person' instruction happening in our classrooms. We will be sure to share additional updates as they become available to keep all of our Paloma families informed.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. I am happy to provide assistance in any way that I can. You may reach out to me initially via email and then we can determine how best to address your needs...by phone, GoogleHangout, etc. WE are here to help!
Sent with a 'virtual hug', and best wishes for a relaxing summer.
We look forward to seeing you all in August (and 'fingers crossed' we will)!!
WE ARE Panthers, WE ARE Kind, WE ARE 'Pawsitive', WE ARE Distance Learners, WE ARE Paloma!!!

Yearbooks
- When can I pick it up?
- Answer: Yearbook orders were extended to June 1. They are expected to be delivered mid/end July. Once they have arrived, families that ordered will be contacted to pick them up.
Gifts for teachers/staff
- Question: I have a gift for my child's teacher. Can I bring it to the school when I drop off/pick up items?
- Answer: Teachers are unlikely to be on campus during the drop-off/pick-up days. If you have an item that could be sent to the teacher electronically, you are encouraged to do so. We are unable to collect gifts for teachers or staff at this time. Thank you for your consideration of the health/safety guidelines for all involved.
