Palms Previews
Your Family is Invited To a Palms Preview!
Palms Previews are school tours, either virtual or in-person. Prospective and incoming new parents are welcome to take either type of tour on any scheduled Palms Preview day -- or more than one!
Virtual Palms Previews are arranged and hosted by the Palms administrators using Zoom. They tend to focus on the Magnet programs, but you can ask any questions you have about any of our schools.
In-person Palms Previews are arranged by Friends of Palms and led by students from Leadership. You'll see the campus on a school day, tour the facilities, visit classrooms, and get a chance to talk to Palms parents and students.
Children are welcome to take the tours with their parents. Siblings can come along too!
Parents interested in the Palms Magnet schools should also see the Magnet Programs page for Magnet information.
In-person Palms Previews begin at 9:00am with an orientation in the Auditorium (see campus map) and usually last about 75 to 90 minutes, depending on how many questions you have. After the walking tour, refreshments are served and questions are answered, in the Library Garden and/or Auditorium. No signups are required. Prospective parents, with or without students and other family members, can simply show up on any of the Palms Preview dates.
