🐼 Palmer Parent Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders! 🐼

We are so excited to welcome our Palmer families back! As we get into our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up routines, we have a few important reminders to help keep everyone safe and our lines moving smoothly.

❤️ Drop off starts at 9:05 AM
🖤 Pick Up starts at 3:45 PM

🚗 Please follow the green lines for parent drop-off and pick-up. Our wonderful staff will safely help your child out of the car in the morning and safely get them into the car in the afternoon.

🚌 Please do not pull into the bus loop or parking lot to drop off or pick up your child. Following the designated procedures helps us keep all of our students, families, and staff safe.

🎫 At afternoon pick-up, please have your car pass displayed in your window. If you did not receive one at Open House, no worries! Just stop by the office to pick one up.

⏰ Reminder: After 3:15 p.m., we can no longer accommodate signing students out through the office. The end of the day is a very busy time, so if you need to sign your child out, please plan to arrive before 3:15.

🚙 And one last reminder—the lines move FAST! Please stay in your car. For safety reasons, we cannot bring your child to you at the door. Our staff will make sure your child gets safely into your vehicle.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and help in keeping Palmer a safe place for everyone! We appreciate our Palmer families so much! 🐼❤️🖤

Here’s to a safe and smooth school year!
