Principal's Message
Dear WAVE Families,
Welcome to the 2026-27 school year at Palisades Elementary, home of the WAVES! It is a joy to welcome both our returning families and those joining our school community for the first time. We are excited for another year filled with learning, growth, and meaningful connections.
This year, our school theme is Believe. Belong. Become.
These three words reflect the heart of who we are and what we strive to create for every student. We believe in the unique strengths and unlimited potential of every child. We foster a culture where every student knows they belong, feels valued, and is an important part of our school family. Together, we support each student as they become confident learners, compassionate leaders, and responsible citizens who are prepared for future success.
At Palisades, we remain committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where students are challenged academically while feeling supported socially and emotionally. Our core expectations of being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn continue to guide everything we do, helping us build a positive school culture where students thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
We know that a strong partnership between school and home is essential to student success. We encourage you to stay connected, participate in school events, volunteer when possible, and communicate openly with our staff. Together, we can provide the support and encouragement that allows every child to reach their fullest potential.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day. It is an honor to serve the Palisades community, and I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff and incredible families to make the 2026-27 school year one of growth, achievement, and celebration.
Let's make this an extraordinary year as we Believe. Belong. Become!
