Mrs. Stockton's class is practicing rounding to the 10s and 100s place. Students put numbers in order and then determined whether to “stay on the floor” or “climb the vine” according to the rounding rules. The concrete pieces, being able to move and manipulate the numbers, and then visually seeing what hundreds the number was closest to really help them to grasp the concept.





We hope all PISD families enjoy a 4-day weekend! 🐾

🖤💛 Homecoming week is September 14-18! 💛🖤
It's time to gear up and cheer our Bulldogs to a BIG WIN!

Here is the menu for August 31 - September 3!

Several elementary students brought the Bulldog spirit during tonight's football game. Way to go, girls! 🖤💛🖤





Congratulations to Palmer ISD’s FIRST Teacher of the Game, Mrs. Lauren Fennell!
Lauren is beginning her 2nd year at Palmer Middle School, where she teaches 8th grade Science and serves as the NJHS Sponsor. Lauren loves working in PISD because of the small-school feel and the incredible community we have here. She creates engaging science lessons because she believes science should be hands-on and fun! This year, Lauren is also launching the Middle School Travel Group and planning an exciting student excursion to Boston. We’re also proud to have her two daughters as Palmer Elementary students!
Help us celebrate and congratulate Mrs. Lauren Fennell, our very first Teacher of the Game!
A special thank you to our sponsor, Compass Realty, for supporting Palmer ISD and our incredible educators!
