It's HOMECOMING week!
Wacky Wednesday at PES was a success!
Football players and varsity cheerleaders greeted our students with warm smiles, cheers, and high fives. Thank you for showing our littles that they matter and belong here!
We mismatched our clothing, shoes, and socks, embracing the unusual and odd looks. We are realizing our differences make us unique and special! PES littles are learning that it’s okay to be different and that it’s important to accept people for their hearts and character.
PES-Day Two of Start with Hello Week: The Belles and JV cheerleaders welcomed and greeted our students. Challenge: No one eats or plays alone today. Our students made sure everyone felt welcome and included at lunch, recess, and all around our school. We all belong here at PES and wore grade level matching colors today and dazzled brightly. Ms. Chambless taught empathy and how to reach out to people feeling left out or alone.
Some of our elementary girls cheered during tonight's game. GO BULLDOGS! 🖤💛🖤
Students read about 9/11 through one of our library databases, Britannica Kids. Then they used maker space bins to create their own 9/11 memorials. First grader, Jayton, made the Twin Towers surrounded by survivor trees.
Mrs. LeCours volunteers to read to our kindergarten and Pre-K classrooms throughout the year. You may recognize her as the crossing guard for PISD. Today she read to Mrs. Greenlee's class! 📖
Grandparent and Grandfriend game time was a huge success this morning! We loved hosting BINGO and handed out some fun prizes. Happy Grandparent's Day to these special people in our lives!! ❤️
Save the date - we promise you'll have a great time!
Our Big Kahuna fundraiser kicks off Thursday! Students will bring home their packets and have three weeks to sell. We appreciate your support!
Lost & found has quite a collection for the third week of school! Writing your child's name on the tag of sweatshirts and jackets is a HUGE help in getting items returned to your child. Please comment if you see an item that belongs to your child.
Sometimes the start of school is hard on our students. Making new friends, getting used to waking up early and being away from family are challenges. We are so proud of Maddy with her growth in the first six days of school! Although we couldn't capture a picture with her smile, she is enjoying Mrs. Royle's class! 😊
Knighten Keener received a Positive Office Referral for his teamwork and positive attitude. Way to go Knighten!!!
Students can earn a positive office referral for helping a friend, being a great example, good sportsmanship...the list goes on! We are thrilled to celebrate our first positive office referrals of the year with Esme and Preslie! Both shared blocks with their classmates in Mrs. Fillmore's Pre-K class!
This dream team gets to work with every student in our building!
Smiles, a few tears and lots of learning finished out the first week of school. ✏️ Have a great (and restful) weekend!!
We are so thankful for a great 1st week! There is no doubt it will be a fantastic year at PES!!
Sorry for the delay...as promised, here is post 2 of 2 of our first day of school. 😉
Welcome back, Bulldogs! We had a great first day of school! Your kiddos have lots of memories and should go to bed early. 😉

The Transportation Department asked to provide the following information to families that have students set to ride the school bus to/from school. Morning routes should run close to schedule starting on Monday morning; there may be a slight delay as students learn the procedures. Afternoon routes will be delayed - please be patient and understanding that our drivers are doing their best to get your children home as safely as possible. Drop off times may be delayed as much as 30 minutes due to traffic and our youngest students learning where to get off of the bus.
Any returning PISD student that rode the bus last year is able to ride the school bus beginning Monday. Any new to district students or students that did not ride the bus last year will not be able to ride until Wednesday, August 7.
If you have any questions about bus transportation or route times, please contact Chandell Straley at chstraley@palmer-isd.org.
