Back to School Night

Back to School Night, typically held during the third week of school in the fall, lets parents meet their child's teachers.

Note: Students should not come to Back to School Night.

Parents follow their child's program by going to each classrom (see campus map), where the teacher explains the goals and expectations for that class.

Parents have 15 minutes in each classroom and 5 minutes to get from one class to the next -- about the same time between classes that Palms students have.

Associated event for Fall 2022:

• View the Emergency Preparedness displays prepared by our students, in the main building downstairs hallway.

Your program may look as follows, with the rooms, subjects, and teacher names filled in:

Associated events in past years have included the following.

• See a Ballet Folklórico performance on the quad.
• Use the computers in the Library to submit your Meal Application at myschoolapps.com. Every Palms family should do this in September. It takes only a few minutes.
• Stop by a Book Fair in the Library and buy books for your family or for teachers who have made specific requests.
• Sign up students and parents for a free library card from the Los Angeles Public Library. Staff from the Palms-Rancho Park Branch will be in the quad to help you.
• Learn about the Eighth Grade East Coast Trip.

Carpooling/rideshare is encouraged as there is no on-site parking and some residential parking is restricted.

Please do not park in the faculty parking lots. 

Back to School Night is not a time for teacher conferences. There simply isn't time for teachers to speak to each parent about how their child is doing in class.

However, followup teacher conferences are encouraged. In non-pandemic years, sign-up sheets are provided on Back to School Night for parents who want to schedule a teacher conference.
