Greetings Palmer Park Preparatory Families:

Happy New Year! I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. We hope this letter finds you well and you are enjoying a wonderful summer break. As we embark on this exciting journey together, we are excited to have the opportunity to continue partnering with you to provide a quality education and nurturing learning environment for your child. Our dedicated staff are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment that fosters academic excellence, creativity and a love for learning for returning and new students to Palmer Park.

This past academic school year, we accomplished major goals and are excited to share the good news! Palmer Park improved their school report grade in all core and proficiency areas and has expanded the Montessori community with opening two additional classrooms. The school’s success is a direct result of the dedication, resilience, and hard work of P3A’s staff, students and families. As we embark on an exceptional new school year, our priority is to continue to provide an optimal learning experience for all students and staff this year.

Additionally, the safety of all students and staff is our priority; thus as a gentle reminder after 9:30 AM, all students, parents and guests must enter through Door 1 to ensure there is one point of entry. All volunteers and guests will also be provided with a guest badge while on campus. We encourage parents to attend our monthly PTA meetings where you can learn more about Palmer Park, and partner with school leadership, staff and parents. Throughout the year we will continue to engage, inform and communicate with all families throughout the school year. We encourage all families to attend our dynamic PTA Meetings and visit our school’s social media platforms where information is shared.

Again, I would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year at Palmer Park. We are looking forward to an amazing year with our staff, students, families and community as we continue to embrace Palmer Park’s legacy, as well as become a gem and beacon of light in the community and the Detroit Public Schools Community District.
