PALMER PARENT PRESS

Dear Palmer Families,

Due to the global pandemic, students have experienced learning loss over the last two years. To focus on Accelerated Learning, Palmer will be using an upcoming professional development day to plan for implementation of rigorous tasks, analyzing student data, and determining next instructional steps. The DPS 21-22 School Year Calendar allotted one Floating Accelerated Learning Planning day to be determined by each individual school.

Palmer teachers and staff will be engaging in this work on Monday, March 7th. There will be No School for Palmer students that day. We wanted to let you know of this date, so that you can make arrangements if needed.

The DDPHE and Denver Health have announced that the city's public health order requiring masks in schools will expire at the end of the day on Friday, February 25th. Masks are still required in all indoor school settings through that date. Beginning Monday, February 28th, masks will no longer be required but will be strongly recommended for all students, staff, and visitors across DPS.

We are very grateful for continued in-person learning for our students. Thank you for your understanding and support through these challenging times.

Ms. Dawn Salter
