We are so excited to welcome our Palmyra Elementary students back into the classrooms today. 🐾 Seeing so many smiling faces this morning made our halls feel bright and full of energy once again! 🧡🖤








We want to show off our front office administrative assistants who worked hard this summer to make sure the first day of school goes great for everyone!
🧡 At PES, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and helping hands by Alicia and Bonnie.
🖤 At PMS, you will find Carla to answer questions and keep things running smoothly.
🧡 At PHS, our office is in great hands with Kristen and Ann.
These friendly faces are ready to greet you, answer questions, and help keep our schools running smoothly.
Make sure to stop by and say hello—our administrative assistants are the heart of the front office! 🐾🧡🖤

We are excited to welcome all of our students, staff, and families back for the first day of the 2025–2026 school year! 🎒🚌✏️


PES doors open at 7:00 am for the Before School Program, building open to all students at 7:30 am. School day begins at 8:15 am!
Here’s to a year full of learning, friendships, and Panther pride! 🧡🖤



🚦 A reminder to all drivers:
✅ Stop when you see a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop sign extended.
✅ Never pass a bus loading or unloading students.
✅ Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods.
Together, we can keep our Panthers safe! 🐾



Panther families — don’t forget, Back to School Night for Palmyra Elementary School is TONIGHT! 🐾
✅ Drop off school supplies
✅ Come meet your Panthers teacher
✅ Explore the classrooms & hallways
✅ Informational meeting in the gym
We can’t wait to see you and kick off an amazing school year together! 🧡🖤


When you see a school bus stopped with red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you must stop – whether you are behind it or coming from the opposite direction on an undivided road.
📍 This protects our students as they get on or off the bus.
❌ Never pass a stopped school bus.
✅ Wait until the lights stop flashing, the stop arm retracts, and the bus starts moving before you go.
Let’s work together to keep our Panthers safe every morning and afternoon! 🐾
School begins Wednesday, August 20th!

We are in the home stretch! 🏁 Crews have been working hard all summer at the Elementary and Middle School campuses, and we are excited to share that everything is on track to be ready before the first day of school on August 20th! 🛠️📚
The High School projects will be ongoing with the hope that the kitchen and classrooms will be finished by early to mid-
September. The locker rooms and gymnasium will be the final projects completed and that will fall in mid-
October.
From fresh finishes to improved safety, these updates will make a big impact for our students and staff. Thank you for your patience and support as we wrap up the final touches! 👷♀️🧡🖤🐾

Families, check your email for the Back to School letter from Mr. Harper and watch for an email from Palmyra R-1 with Parent Portal login instructions.
