Palmetto Elementary School is a place where everyone is proud to be a "TIGER!" We believe that quality education can be achieved through high expectations of student performance and behavior. Our teachers are truly dedicated educators who strive to improve student achievement every day. Our school is organized and designed to facilitate and enable "teachers to teach and students to learn." The climate for learning that our staff creates at Palmetto results in improved academic achievement for ALL of our students.
Our belief in strong family/school/community partnerships also supports a high quality education for our students. Home-school communication provides parents information about their children's school programs and ways they can be involved and supportive of school efforts. Palmetto parents and community members are motivated to be involved in our school through numerous workshops, advisory groups, the PTA, and involvement in the classroom. With the support of parents and community, the staff and students have created a school at Palmetto Elementary School where a climate of learning enables every child to experience personal success and develop into a life long learner.
The enthusiastic staff at Palmetto is committed to providing the best possible education for the students. The educational focus is to implement Fontana Unified School District's academic standards in language arts and mathematics. Teachers work together at each grade level to determine areas of specific need, set goals, and share strategies to assist their students in meeting grade level standards. The learning environment at Palmetto Elementary is a school strength. Classrooms and school programs reflect the school's strong emphasis on learning. Students and parents express pride in their school. "Palmetto Tigers" take every opportunity to recognize and reward student, staff, and parents for their successes and accomplishments.
