Palms Middle School Home

You've finished middle school and you and your family should be very proud.

You're ready for high school, and Palms wishes you the best of luck and much future success.

In 1976, Palms students, parents, and staff buried a Time Capsule under the quad. It's been 50 years since then, so we will dig up that Time Capsule in Spring 2026, and bury a new Time Capsule of our own.

Preparation start now. We need parents to help with planning and to track down former Palms students from 1976.

See our Time Capsule page for details and for the Time Capsule Volunteer Form.

Read the May/June 2025 issue of Palms Press, the newspaper created by students in the Journalism elective taught by Ms. Skidelsky. This is the last issue for this school year.

Visit the Palms Press web page to read and download this issue and all back issues.

The Palms community is invited to enjoy a meal and help Palms at the same time. On Monday, June 9, 2025, it's the final Dining for Dollars event of the school year, at one of our favorite restaurants: Panda Express.

The offer is good for all online orders (for pickup or delivery) at any U.S. Panda Expression location, so tell your friends and relatives about it, no matter where they live.

Fill in Fundraiser Code 9004447 during checkout and Panda Express will donate 28% of sales to Friends of Palms.

The Panda Express location closest to Palms is at 3812 Midway (Venice and Overland) in Culver City.
