Computer Update from Teacher Val

  

  

During the first week of school all grade 1 through grade 4 classes will find themselves in the computer lab, and we can't wait to share their excitement when they find the lab equipped with the newest widescreen display iMac computers!  Thanks to PEP donations and grants from the Riviera Lodge and American Legion, we have updated the eight year old computers in the lab.  If you have a chance, be sure to stop by to see our new and improved lab!

What is PEP? 

 

PEP is you! At Pali Elementary, we are committed to providing the best, well-rounded educational experience possible, and it shows. Our API test scores keep rising, making us one of the top schools in the state.  Our children benefit from a wide array of programs not available at typical LAUSD schools including: smaller class sizes, extra classroom aides, computer lab, technology in the classroom, physical education, conflict resolution education, art, music, Discovery Garden classes, "Green Team," Learning Lab, and more

 

These programs are funded and/or sponsored by Palisades Enrichment Programs (PEP), Pali's parent-run organization that was started by parents to enhance our children's educational experience.   We welcome you to PEP and hope that you will participate by volunteering, attending our monthly meetings, coming to school events, and more.   The strength of our school community comes from our active and hands-on volunteer parent body and we would love to have you join us.  

 

We are specially in need of volunteers for technology, garden, Magazine Drive, Pali-Wear and parent outreach. Please contact us if you can help in anyway at PEP@palielementary.org

 

For more information about volunteer opportunities and fabulous PEP sponsored events and fundraisers, please visit the school website at www.palielementary.org
