Why Palmer Lake Needs Your
Current Phone Numbers, Email and
Address
It’s important for us to have current information in
order to contact the parents/guardians of Palmer
Lake students.
Here are just a few reasons:
1. If your child has a medical emergency or
becomes sick during the school day.
2. If the District decides to close schools for
the day.
3. Our weekly communication with families
(The Scoop) is sent out via email each
Wednesday. It contains information about
events at school as well as information about
programs in the community for your child to
participate in.
4. A bus is running very late after school.
5. Reminders of days there is no school for
students.
If you have updated contact information, please call
the Office at 763-561-1930.

Reminder: 2016-17 Palmer Lake
Policy on Birthday Treats
At Palmer Lake, students are not allowed to
bring birthday treats to school. While this
may seem like another way to squash the fun
out of school, there are three reasons for this
policy:
1. Many students have allergies
2. Serving and consuming treats takes
critical time away from instruction
3. We simply want to promote a
healthier diet. There are other, more
nutritious ways to have fun in school.
4. Thank you for your cooperation with
and understanding.

PRIDE is a leadership group made up of 4th and 5th
grade students who want to make a difference in
their school and community. Students who
wanted to join PRIDE wrote an essay in
September and had their parent and teacher
sign off on it. These selected school leaders
will meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month to
promote school spirit, such as theme days, as
well as ways to give back to the community.
Tuesday, February 14 is our next School
Store! The school store will be open as students
come to school, and will be located by the front
office. Be sure to bring some spending
money! For sale will be pens, erasers, pencils,
and other fun school supplies!

Day! Show your school spirit by wearing school
apparel! Examples would include: Palmer Lake T-

a classroom competition between classrooms to

tops. The class with the most box tops by May
