Palms parents should attend Back to School Night on Thursday, August 27, 2026, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.

You will follow your child's schedule and meet your child's teachers. Each teacher will explain the goals and expectations for their class. Back to School Night is not a time for teacher conferences.

Carpooling/rideshare is encouraged as there is no on-campus parking. Do not park in the faculty parking lots. You can enter campus through the main entrance on Woodbine or the two gates on Palms Blvd. Bringing students with you is optional, but if you bright them, they must stay with you at all times.

While you are at school, buy a Welcome Back Gram for your student, for only $1!

Parents can attend a Zoom meeting to learn about Title I on Wednesday August 26, 2026 starting at 8:30am. You can also attend the meeting in person, in the Library on campus.
