A Message from Our Superintendent
Welcome to the website of Palo Verde Elementary School, home of the Eagles. Our website allows you to gain information and stay updated about the events taking place at Palo Verde School. It also provides a method for teachers and administrators to share some of the exciting events that are part of our educational programs. Please join us as often as possible on the website or at one of our events to get a first hand experience of "Eagle Pride."
I feel honored to serve as superintendent/principal of Palo Verde Elementary School because we have a dedicated staff and great kids! We are committed to providing a positive learning environment where children become self-directed learners, risk-takers, and responsible, respectful citizens.
We are looking forward to working with you and your children this year. It is our belief that the school-home partnership must be strong for your child to succeed in school. I invite you to become active, supportive partners in the education of your children.
One very important and practical way we can work together is for all of us to do everything we can to ensure good school attendance. Attendance every day is vital to children's learning.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call or visit our school.
Sincerely,
Robert Aldridge
Superintendent/Principal
