Welcome Back Families!
Back to School Newsletter 2022-2023
Dear Families,
It is an exciting time at Palm Bay Schools! Our elementary school received a school grade of A and Palm Bay Prep was 3 points from earning a B from the Florida Department of Education. The percentage of proficiency and learning gains across all grade levels is to be celebrated. We are proud of our teachers and learners for all of their hard work and look forward to what this new year brings. We are also excited that all of our students receive free breakfast and lunch on our campus daily.
In this newsletter:
- You will be introduced to grade level teams
- How to find out who your child's teacher(s) is for the upcoming school year
- Pick up and drop of information
- Rock the Block, August 8th information
- Our contact information
We hope you are all able to attend our Rock the Block on Monday from 4-7 p.m. to kick off the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year.
Thank you,
Patty Phillips

Important Times To Remember in 2022-2023...
The school day officially ends at 3:15 p.m. Students that leave early do lose attendance time. All parts of the school day are important!
Parent Drop-Off and Pick-Up: behind both elementary and prep buildings. This allows us to have proper security and supervision from both buildings for students arriving and departing school.
NO STUDENT DROP-OFFS OR PICK-UPS CAN OCCUR IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING DUE TO THE ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF GIRLS INC AND ASAP AFTER CARE BUSSES.
TRAFFIC FLOW FOR DROP OFF AND PICK UP
How Do You Find Out Your Child's Teacher for 2022-2023?
Due to privacy concerns, we have discontinued the posting of class lists in the hallways.
During Rock the Block, we will be providing you with your child's teacher's name and HS/MS schedules. You can also call, email, or visit our school offices, and we will provide your child's class assignment/schedule and any other questions you have.
