More from 21st Century Tutoring

Adventures from today's 21st Century Tutoring

Today Palestine - Wheatley Elementary School kicked off the 21st Century Tutoring Program. Tutoring will take place on Mondays from 7:30am - 12:00 pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm, per Casey Herron, Program Director. Students worked on science, learned about flies, how they see and eat and made Venus fly traps. They worked on math, reading, made pet rocks and discussed what their habitats would be, things the rock could do, eat, and activities. We are so ecstatic about the addition of this program to our district and seeing the growth in student learning.

The Palestine - Wheatley High School FFA has been hard at work this year with their pumpkin patch. All of their hard work has paid off, the pumpkins have been picked and are ready for sale. Pumpkin prices are as follows: 1 for $5.00 10 for $45.00 25 for $100.00 All proceeds go to support PWHS FFA.

Just a reminder that PWES Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for tomorrow, beginning at 5:00 p.m.

May we never forget September 11, 2001.

Accolades go to Serina Wilson, a Kindergarten teacher at Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School, whose Donors Choose project earned two Apple iPads and a charger set for her classroom.

The 2024-25 school year got off to a great start today. We would like to thank all of our parents and guardians for working with our staff, to make our first day of school, an amazing day! We can't wait to see you all again tomorrow. Remember, our cafeteria doors open and we start serving breakfast from 7:20 - 7:50 each morning.

It's almost that time!! Does your child know how they are getting home on the first day of school? Do you know where to pick them up? Below is a map of the front of the Palestine-Wheatley Elementary School. There are 3 different locations where students may be picked up. The gravel parking lot on the North-West side of the campus. Here, you may park your vehicle. Please get out and come close to the front gate to receive your child. This is to keep our littles safe. There are large vehicles that may not be able to see them crossing the parking lot alone. On the East side of the school, towards the main entrance of the elementary, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students will be picked up. On the West side of the school, in front of the Cafeteria and Main Office (Flag pole side), 4th, 5th, and 6th graders will be picked up. What if you have students in both groups? You will pick up where the oldest student should be. Our 4th-6th graders will pick up their siblings as they walk by the K-3rd grade section. We ask a few things of our parents and guardians: Please do not get in line to pick up car riders in front of the school until buses have left the parking lot. Please pull up as far as you can in line. Please stay in your vehicle at ALL times. (Front Lines) Do not exit the line until you are waved to do so. Thank You so much for being a part of this team. Please be patient with us as we work through all of the first day fun! We cannot wait to get started tomorrow!

The Lady Patriot Volleyball team will play a Red/Blue Game on Tuesday, August 13th at 4:30pm.
