We know it can be hard to decide if your child is well enough for class. Nurse Jones and Nurse Hoewing would like to share some quick guidelines on when to keep students home — and when it is safe to send them back.
✅ Check out the graphic for tips on fevers, stomach bugs, sore throats, and more.
💡 A good rule of thumb: if your student isn’t feeling well enough to participate in learning or could spread illness to others, it is best to keep them home.
Thank you for helping us keep your Panthers and our schools healthy! 🐾


There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 1st in observance of Labor Day.
We hope everyone enjoys a safe, relaxing holiday — see you back on Tuesday, September 2nd! 🧡🖤

We appreciate the community support for our Panthers! 🐾





As part of our renovation project, the Palmyra High School gym floor is being removed — and we would love for our community to have a piece of it!
🪵 Floor pieces will be available in front of the Palmyra High School gym entrance on Tuesday, September 2nd and Wednesday, September 3rd from 5:30 – 6:30 pm (while supplies last). Because of the way the floor was constructed, most pieces will be individual boards rather than large sections.
Take home a slice of Panther history and relive the games, cheers, and memories made on this court. 🧡🖤
(Please bring gloves — not responsible for accidents or splinters.)
