Back to School Night
Back to School Night, usually held a few weeks into the Fall semester, is your opportunity to meet with your child's teachers and learn about the instructional program and academic requirements for each of the classes.

Fall 2024 Back to School Night Wednesday, August 28. 2024 5:00-7:00pm Come at 4:40 for the Book Fair! |
Parents follow their child's program by going to each classroom (see campus map), where the teacher explains the goals and expectations for that class.
Parents have 15 minutes in each classroom and 5 minutes to get from one class to the next -- about the same time between classes that Palms students have.
These events will also take place:
- Emergency Preparedness Fair (4:40 to 7:00pm). Learn about emergency preparedness from students and displays in the main hallway, near the Library. "Be There to Prepare!"
- Book Fair (4:40 to 7:00pm). Stop by the Library and buy books or gifts for your family or friends.
Teacher Conferences?
Back to School Night is not a time for teacher conferences. There simply isn't time for teachers to speak to each parent about how their child is doing in class.
Some parents will be invited to teacher conferences. Other parents can contact their child's teachers, via the Parent Portal, to ask for a conference.
