For the Week of February 10, 2025
PES Mission
PES serves our community by preparing all students in a safe and nurturing environment to be critical thinkers, productive citizens and thrivers with admirable character.
Attendance matters from the first day of school until the last!
What if my student has to be out of school for an extended period of time?.
If your child must go out of town for one to fifteen days, you may request that your child be signed up for a Short-Term Independent Study Agreement. By enrolling in Short-Term Independent Study, and your student has the work completed upon return, your child would be marked present for those days they were gone
Check the calendar below for the 24.25 school year.
Thank you for your support!

First grade students and staff had an exciting week celebrating Long Ago days. They dressed to impress, made butter, and participated in other fun classroom rotations experiencing life as it was "Long Ago"!
Social/Emotional Learning at Paloma!
For the month of February, students will be learning about the Thriver trait, Self Confidence, from Michele Borba's book Thrivers.
Every week, we wil be sharing ideas on how to build Self Confidence in children.
This week, ask your child what they learned about Self Confidence at school.
Breakfast and Lunch is FREE!
All students are able to receive a free breakfast and hot lunch, please make sure your child knows whether they have brought a lunch or if they need to get one from our cafeteria. Breakfast is served at recess. Click on the link below to view both the breakfast and lunch menus.
Safety at Arrival and Dismissal
Let's keep all Panthers safe at school!
When using the loop to pick up or drop off your child by car, PLEASE.....
- Only park in appropriate areas. The pick up loop can be a very busy place, especially on modified days. However, it is important to remember to only park in designated parking spaces. Please do not park along curbs that are painted red or in handicap spots unless you have a handicap placard. If there is not parking available when you arrive, you will need to park on the street and walk to meet your child or join the pick up loop. If you are parked in these areas, you will be asked to move.
- Always use the crosswalks.
- Do not use the parking lot as an additional pick-up line. This blocks access to parking spaces, including handicap spots. If there is not an open parking spot, please pull through and go around again to look for an opening or join the loop pick up line.
- Stay in your car when using the loop. If your child needs assistance entering or exiting the car, please park in the lot and walk them to their gate.
- Move all the way forward as directed by the school staff.
- In the morning, do not wait until your child reaches the gate to pull away. Staying in the loop and watching your child walk in through the gate, slows the flow of traffic. If you would like to watch your child enter the gate, please park your car and walk your child.
- At dismissal, do not stop in the loop and wait for your child to come your direction, instead pull up when there is space to pull forward. Pull all the way forward and continue to move forward with the traffic. Your child will walk down towards you.
We appreciate your continued cooperation and patience.
