A Message from Our Superintendent
A Message from Our Superintendent
Greetings Eagle Community,
Welcome to the Palo Verde Elementary School website. I am excited to introduce you to our school community and share the opportunities that exist for our students and families. I have the privilege of serving as the superintendent/principal of a school steeped in traditions and a belief in excellence for the students and community we serve. Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff members work with families to support our learners to achieve their personal best. Our students are made to feel that school is a second-home where they receive the care and support they need. We are committed to providing a safe and positive learning environment where children become self-directed learners, risk-takers, and responsible, respectful citizens.
As we provide opportunities for students to grow and thrive each day through a variety of activities within and beyond the classroom. We are looking forward to partnering with our families and community this year. It is our belief that the strong and healthy partnership between home and school will allow every child to succeed. Our commitment remains to keep our families informed so decisions can be made in the best interest of the student’s future. We will provide regular and relevant communication to help in these decisions. Families in the school will receive communication every Sunday with updates and events that will help strengthen the connection between home and school.
We believe the school experience is best with regular attendance and participation. I look forward to seeing our students arriving at school each day, ready for the learning ahead.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or visit our school.
Sincerely,
Megan Bennett
Superintendent/Principal
