Palmyra GATE Magnet
Empowering ALL Students to Persevere, Excel, and Innovate
August 30, 2024
Hello Palmyra Families,
This is Ms. Bletterman with the Weekly News!
Monday, September 2nd is Labor Day. School will be closed and resume on Tuesday, September 3rd!
Back to School Night was a huge success! Thank you families for coming to visit your teachers and hear about all the wonderful things we will be teaching your students and other important information. We had such great attendance too! You all are amazing!
Thank you to all families for parking in the surrounding streets and walking your students to the Palmyra front gate. The traffic has been a little lighter this week. Please continue to be vigilant with student safety and follow all traffic rules including in the drop off and pick up lanes. Do not park in the drive thru lanes - it creates a lot of chaos when it traffic can not flow. Due to City of Orange budget cuts we do not have a crossing guard in front of Palmyra.
Thank you to those parents who are volunteering to help with crossing students. I know Palmyra families appreciate you!
Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!
See you Tuesday morning!!
Ms. Bletterman
Principal
