Principal's Message

Dear Palmer Families,

As we conclude a fantastic week at Palmer Elementary, I want to take a moment to pause and remember September 11, 2001. We hold in our hearts those who were lost, the incredible heroes of that day, and the brave men and women who continue to serve and protect our communities and country today.

Back in our classrooms, it has been an inspiring week of learning and connection! I saw our 3rd graders were hard at work mastering place value. 1st graders have been busy mapping their "heart words" and practicing writing CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. Across all grade levels, teachers have been dedicated to building strong routines and positive classroom communities where every child feels supported and ready to learn.

Next week we wrap up our beginning-of-the-year assessments. I am excited for teachers to dive fully into our grade-level curriculum in the coming days. Thank you for your continued partnership and support!

Wishing you all a wonderful and restful weekend,

Mrs. Nauman

Rise & Roar

Hello Palmer Families-

We’re looking for photos of our Panthers participating in sporting events, dance recitals, music performances (like piano recitals), scouting activities, martial arts, and other organized extracurricular activities.

Whether they’re on the field, on stage, or proudly representing their group in uniform, we want to celebrate all the amazing things our students are doing beyond the classroom!

Please send in your photos and help us showcase the many talents of our Palmer Panthers!

Email submissions to: riseandroar@eastonsd.org

Watermelon Welcome

Thank you to our PTA for the yummy watermelon! I was able to get outside a couple of times today and saw many smiles and messy faces. As I was talking to a few teachers and volunteers, we tried to figure out when the Watermelon Welcome started at Palmer. In my quick search this afternoon, the earliest mention in a Palmer Yearbook is 1989. Do you know the year it started? If no, please reach out and let me know! It was great to see some new PTA Volunteers there today as well. On behalf of students and staff, Thank You Palmer PTA!

Parent Drop off and Pick Up

To ensure a safe and timely drop off/pick up experience, please abide by the following drop-off and pick-up procedures.

Form line in parking lot (see map)
Pull all the way up
Adults stay in the car
Students sit on the passenger side of the back seat
While we encourage students to be independent, staff will provide assistance with entering and exiting vehicles if a child is unable to do so independently.
At dismissal, if you do not have an assigned number, please have your ID ready for verification to ensure the safety of all students. The adult picking up your child must be on the authorized list you provided at registration.

If your child will be a routine parent pick-up, please register with the office to receive a number sign for your window to ensure a smooth dismissal.

We are gearing up for another amazing year, we want YOU to join our PTA and be a part of the excitement too! Your membership helps support programs like Book Fair, Assemblies, Watermelon Welcome, PRIDE Incentives, Staff Appreciation, and more. Your level of involvement with the PTA is entirely up to you, be involved in as much or as little as you like, in a way that fits your schedule and interests. Your voice matters: members have voting rights and can help shape goals and programs throughout the year! Please see below for the Membership Drive grade level contest and we hope to see you Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 6:30 in the cafeteria for our first PTA meeting of the year!
