Good evening, As you are aware, 3/4/5 grades will be testing for the next 8 days. We have received several phone calls inquiring on whether or not lower elementary students need to report to school during these days. The answer is "yes!" Although lower elementary students are using the cafeteria for their classroom in the mornings, they do return to their regular classrooms after lunch to continue with their work. I hope that this clears up so confusion.

We still have some remaining spots in our pre-k class for the upcoming school year. Students must be 4 years of age by September 30 to qualify. Call the office and let Mrs. Kisha help you get those babies in school! 337-623-4482.

Good morning! Coke fundraiser pick up is scheduled for Thursday, April 28 beginning at 1:00. Simply pull up in the horseshoe and we will get your orders out to you! Thank you for helping us to make this fundraiser a huge success.

You guys have far exceeded our expectations with our SOLA giving day fundraiser! As of today we have reached our goal! Thank you to our latest donors: John Harris, David Ducote, Joyce Mansfield, William Green, and Joy Artigue!! Just because we have reached our goal, doesn't mean that we have to stop. SOLA giving day goes on until May 5, 2022. You still have time to donate at the following link: https://www.solagivingday.org/organizations/palmetto-elementary-school?

LEAP testing for 4th and 5th grades starts tomorrow and 3rd grade on Wednesday. We will be testing for a portion of the day until Friday, May 6, 2022. It is imperative that your students in these grade levels arrive at school on time and remain at school the entire day. Students who are present each day of testing will receive Bronco Bucks at the end of the testing period. Students who try their best will receive a "treat" at the end of each day. Let's work together to make your child's testing experience a positive and successful one! We have been busy at school preparing your child for testing. Here is what you can do to help us: 1. If your child does not eat breakfast at school, make sure they have a healthy breakfast at home. 2. Ensure your child gets a good night sleep. 3. Encourage them each morning to do their best. Your child's test scores determine our school letter grade. We are the highest performing elementary school in the district and we want to keep it that way! Thank you for all that you do. Here's to Happy Testing ahead!

We hope that everyone had a great Easter break! LEAP testing begins Tuesday for 4th-5th grade students and Wednesday for 3rd grade students. It is so important that your student report to school each day during testing! Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
