Palms Information
Dear Palms Families,
Greetings from Palms Elementary School! The entire staff offers you a warm welcome and looks forward to the opportunity of working with you and your child.
School Hours:
Building entrance bell will ring at 8:40 a.m. Classes will begin daily at 8:45 a.m. and dismiss at 3:00 p.m. Students should not arrive at school before 8:30 a.m. Latchkey is available to parents who need supervision for their children before this time. The Latchkey program is located here at Palms Elementary.
Arrival Procedures:
· When students are dropped off they are to line up outside the south entrance.
· Mrs. Woodhouse’s Young 5's students will line up outside the door to her room, door #2.
· When the bell rings at 8:40 a.m. the children will be allowed to enter the building. Please drop your child off by the main entrance doors.
Dismissal Procedures:
Every effort will be made to assist your child in getting on the right bus during the first few weeks of school. Any questions you may have concerning transportation should be directed to the bus garage by calling 676-1100.
The turn around on the west side of the building will be for buses and staff parking only. Visitor parking will be located in the parking area on the south side of the building. As a matter of safety, DO NOT park along the sidewalk. This is a Fire Lane. Out of consideration for others, when dropping off students, please pull to the front of the drop–off area and keep the line of traffic moving.
If you are picking your child up from school at dismissal time, grades Kdg-5 will be dismissed out of the doors by the office, door #1. Parents will stay outside of the building during this time. If parents are a few minutes late picking up, students will stay inside the building to wait. However, if your child does need to be released from school during the instructional day, please notify the office in writing. Students will be called to the office when you arrive and walked out to you at the door.
*****POLICY TO BE STRICTLY APPLIED*****
For the safety of your child and to avoid confusion, no child will be dismissed between 2:40pm and the 3:00pm bell dismissal. Please wait outside to greet your child after school as this will ensure a positive and safe dismissal for all children.
Please be sure to check your child’s backpack for notes and homework assignments on a daily basis. We are looking forward to a very productive and exciting school year. Additional information is available in the Student Handbook.
Sincerely,
Mr. Scott Westerhof
Principal
