Elementary School -

To help our students learn cafeteria expectations and build friendships, our campus will be closed to all lunch visitors during the first two weeks of school. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to create a positive and welcoming environment for all students!

Palmer ISD is proud to celebrate Mrs. Greenlee and Miss Garcia, who were honored at the Region 10 Teacher of the Year Luncheon! These exceptional educators pour their hearts into Palmer ISD each day, creating engaging and meaningful learning experiences for our students. Please join us in congratulating these ladies on this well-deserved recognition!

Patience is key for the school carline! Please review the traffic flow map for the elementary campus. Cars may NOT drive through the front parking lot to avoid buses; this poses a safety hazard for our staff and their personal children. Here are a few tips to help with our dismissal process: 1. Clearly display your car tag that was provided at Meet the Teacher. Hanging it from your rearview mirror is extremely helpful! 2. Always watch for staff or children walking around your car. 3. Pull up as much as possible to the car in front of you. More space between cars = less cars in our driveway. 4. Pull up, pull up, pull up! We will send your child down the sidewalk if your car is beyond their exit doors - this allows for more cars to fit in the drive. 5. If you need to buckle your child, please consider parking in a lot once you exit the flow of traffic. 6. Be patient! Our staff is standing in the heat, doing our best to safely load every child. 7. Stay in your vehicle. No one should exit their car while in the dismissal line. 8. Consider arriving at 4:10--you will have far less traffic. Your child will be safe (and cool) in their classroom. It usually takes about 2 weeks for everyone to learn the process of dismissal. We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the safety of all students!
