Panther Planner
For the Week of September 9, 2024
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!
Did you know students who miss two to four days in September are more likely to have a poor attendance record for the year? Please monitor your child's attendance and make every effort to have them at school as much as possible (unless they are sick... of course.)
It is also important to remember that when students are checked out early, they miss instruction. Please schedule appointments after the close of the school day so that your child can be a part of all the learning that is taking place from 8:50 to 3:15.
Check the calendar below for the 24.25 school year.
Thank you for your support!

School Site Video Entry System
The Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) is deeply committed to ensuring the safety and security of all students, staff, and visitors. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance school safety, we have successfully piloted a front door security entry system over the past year, allowing school staff to grant entry to visitors remotely. The pilot was very successful, and we are now expanding this safety protocol to all school campuses.
Starting with the new school year, the front doors of all campuses will be locked during school hours to prevent unauthorized access. Parents, guardians, and community members with school-related business will be able to enter the front office or reception area through a secure remote video access system located at the main entrance of each school. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, visitors may be required to provide proof of identification before being granted entry. TVUSD remains committed to fostering a secure and welcoming environment where everyone can feel safe.

Social/ Emotional Learning at Paloma!
This year, we will once again be focusing on the "Thriver" traits from Michele Borba's book Thrivers.
The first trait of the year is Self Control. Students will be learning about and practicing self control strategies during our morning meetings.
Read Alouds are a great tool to help students learn how to practice Self Control. Check out this link for some great Self Control read alouds.
Here are some other great Self Control read alouds.
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.
