Palmetto Elementary OCPS

Hello, Palmetto Families!

Mark your calendars for our Meet the Teacher event! We can't wait to welcome our students and families, introduce you to your teachers, and kick off an amazing school year together.

We are so excited to see all of our children and can't wait to make wonderful memories with you. See you soon! ✨

What a fun way to end the year at Palmetto! 🎉 From PAW Points dance parties to the 5th grade BBQ and clap out, it was a day full of smiles and memories!

"What I love most about Palmetto is the impact that I made in my students’ lives. Knowing that I make a difference in their lives is what makes me do what I do best: teaching. Teaching from the heart is my passion."

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated Haitian Flag Day with our amazing students and staff! 🇭🇹❤️💙
