This edition of the Palma Student & Parent Handbook has been revised and is available to you online at our school’s website. It contains information that will be of interest to the student and his parents in realizing the most of one’s time and efforts on the Palma campus throughout the school year. This revised handbook presents to you Palma’s expectations of each student and parent throughout this school year, from Orientation Day in August through Graduation Day on Memorial Day weekend. Quality education in a positive and safe learning environment is an important concern to parents and educators in every school, especially here at Palma. We accept the challenge of educating young men and will do whatever we can to continue the excellent reputation and environment Palma has enjoyed these past 68 years. Quality education today requires that cooperative and honest efforts between the school and family and the student and his teachers flow smoothly on a regular basis. Palma’s administration, faculty and staff are partners with parents in their son’s education; we notify parents of concerns about student life or behavior, even when off campus. We want to assist parents and students in making sure the educational process is well directed here at school, as well as at home.
