Palms parents are invited to a parent workshop in Zoom on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, from 5:00pm to 6:00pm.

Topic: Parent Involvement: The Foundation for Student Academic Success

This is the third of four parent workshops presented by the Parent Education Bridge for Student Achievement Foundation (PEBSAF).

From Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 9, 2025, we will show our appreciate to the Palms faculty and staff, in two ways:

1. We're creating a Gratitude Wall to showcase messages of appreciation to teachers, counselors, administrators, office staff, aides, and custodians.

During the week, have your child or your family write a short note or draw a picture on one side of a small piece of paper, or a Post-It note, to express gratitude to someone at school. Drop it off in the box at the Student Services Office.

2. We're providing treats for the teachers and staff. Please fill out our sign-up form to let us know what treats you'll bring and on which day. Drop off the treats in the Main Office between 7:30am and 7:50am. Store-bought and home-made items are welcome!

Mayor Karen Bass, accompanied by school board and city council members, came to Palms on Saturday, April 26, 2025, for the city's "Shine LA" event.

Officials, staff, and volunteers painted, planted, power washed, and did other gardening and cleaning around our campus.

Check out the slideshow on the Beautification Day page. The Shine LA website currently features a photo from the event at Palms.
