 May, 2008
Greetings!
Flowers are growing, but that’s not all! Our May calendar showcases the growing excitement and enthusiasm of our students, teachers, and parents! Everyone is invited as we fully resume our traditional Honor Roll and Student Recognition Assembly on Friday, May 2nd to celebrate student accomplishments. Check the May calendar for exact times. A future assembly will be scheduled for Quarter Four. Students who already achieved the same honors in Quarters One and Two have or will be recognized in their classrooms.
As the seasons change, definitely to Spring, and soon to Summer, we need to remember the following Palmer ABC’s that need to be repeated …
Attendance…Vacations start at the end of the school year. Students are expected to continue to be on time, in attendance each day, every day. Students cannot afford to take off from school during parent vacations.
Behavior…The school uniform sets the tone for a respectful school climate, so make sure all students dress in uniform each day. Shirts should have collars. Clothing should be logo-free. Shorter pants can be worn when announced once we consistently have warmer weather. Sweaters or jackets worn inside the school should reflect school colors and should also be logo-free. Spirit wear is encouraged on any day, of course. Students should not be wearing clothing that pushes the limit. Your cooperation here is vital.
Class work…CPS policy states that students need daily homework and you as parents know practice leads to improvement. Each student should complete classroom assignments as instructed by the teacher.
Thank you for your parental support on Report Card Day and community support during the LSC Elections. Palmer Pride is continually evident as we support our May initiatives from the adoption of the red kangaroo to Student Appreciation Week, from Market Day to Olympic Day, from the DARE graduation to the 8th Grade Springfield trip.
If there are ever any questions about attendance, uniforms, or grades feel free to contact me or the Assistant Principal, Ms. Maria Bohacsik. Remember, my door is always open to students, teachers, parents and community members.
With Palmer Pride,
Patricia Bowman
Principal
