Principal's Message

Welcome to Palmyra GATE Magnet 

 

 

Hello Palmyra Families,

I am proud and honored to be the principal of such an outstanding and high performing elementary school that focuses on Empowering ALL Students to Persevere, Excel, and Innovate! Palmyra has a strong culture of community and is a family centered school.  When your child is a Palmyra Pinto, you can be assured that not only are they receiving a high quality education from excellent instructors, but will be surrounded by a staff that truly cares about their well-being.  We focus on Kindness, Respect, Responsibility and students being Ready for a strong future. 

Palmyra GATE Magnet has a reputation of academic excellence. We are a Gold Ribbon School and earned the distinction of Title One Academic Achievement School. We  proudly offer a specialized GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program along with AVID strategies, restorative practices, one to one device program, Robotics Team, Sports, Lego Education, Newspaper Club, along with many other varied enrichment programs and academic interventions both during and after the school day. Palmyra GATE Magnet has consistently exceeded goals to reclassify students to fluent English speakers who are then considered biliterate in Spanish and English. 

Our extraordinary school would not be possible without the influential and generous support of our outstanding Parent Teacher Association (PTA,) English Language Advisory Council (ELAC), and School Site Council (SSC) who are dedicated to promoting the education, health, and safety of children and families. Know that if you join us you become part of the family.  

 

Ms. Christina Bletterman
