Palencia Elementary School PTO

Happy summer, Pirate family! ☀️

As we close out another amazing school year, our PTO has “nothing Bundt” love for the incredible teachers and staff at Palencia Elementary! 🧁❤️

Our dedicated educators pour their hearts into our students every single day. So this year, we made sure to pour a little love right back - with sweet treats, kind surprises, and plenty of appreciation along the way.

And we couldn’t have done it without you! A huge thank you to our wonderful PTO members and the PES community. Your generosity helped us spoil our teachers and staff all year long. ❤️

Here’s to a relaxing, fun-filled summer for everyone. Thank you for being part of our crew. See you next year!

Happy Last Day of School! Today is an early release day. PES dismisses at 1:45 PM. Have a terrific summer!

Six years of learning, growing, and becoming – and our 5th graders have done it all with Pirate pride. ❤️🖤

Congratulations to the Palencia Elementary Class of 2026! Watching you grow from the youngest Pirates on campus to the leaders of our school has been an honor. You've worked hard, shown up, and made our community stronger every single day.

Middle school is waiting, and you're more than ready for it!

To our 5th grade families: thank you for sharing your incredible kids with us. It takes a whole crew to raise great students, and you've been with them every step of the way.

We're so proud of each and every one of you. Go show the world what Palencia Pirates are made of!

Thank you for such a wonderful school year! None of this would be possible without you!

Big milestone coming up? Celebrate it on the school rock! 🪨

There are still spots available before the end of the school year to paint the front or back of the rock for a 5th-grade graduation, summer birthday, or another special occasion. 🎉

Reserve your date soon and make your Pirate’s moment extra memorable before school is out!

Your RSV form matters more than you think!

Please complete the Returning Student Verification (RSV) form for each of your students as soon as possible. In order to secure and retain the proper number of teachers for the next school year, please submit your RSV forms as soon as possible.

These forms play a major role in planning for the 2026–2027 school year, including projected enrollment, class sizes, and staffing needs. When every family completes the RSV form, it helps our school make informed decisions and better support students and teachers.

Please take a few minutes to submit your form for each child. Thank you for helping our school plan ahead and keep our Pirate community strong!
