Although we had planned to make April 8th, the total eclipse, a special learning day for our students, after careful consideration we have decided to cancel school on that day. According to the information from the Texas School Safety Center there will be a tremendous influx of visitors and their reports predict the roadways will be packed and at a standstill. This could hinder our students' travel to and from school as well as other safety issues. Please see the attached report. Teachers will send the special eclipse glasses home with students on the previous Thursday. Palmer ISD will make this day up on Friday, April 12th. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
