Let's Connect!
Our buildings and fields are alive with activity, our parking lots are full, and you can feel the awesome Pirate energy in the air. Fall is always a special time in our district, as students and families settle into routines, explore new opportunities, and begin to showcase their talents both inside and outside of the classroom. We look forward to seeing you out and about and engaged in our Palisades community.
Enjoy this week's Patch!
