On Tuesday, September 15th, Palmer River Elementary will celebrate International Dot Day, inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ beloved story The Dot!
The Dot reminds us that sometimes all it takes is one small mark to discover our creativity, confidence, and courage. Dot Day celebrates the idea that EVERYONE has something unique to share and encourages each of us to believe in ourselves and see where our mark can take us! ✨
🔵 Join in the fun! Wear polka dots or get creative and make your own shirt with dots to celebrate!
Be Bold. Be You. Make Your Mark.

We wanted to send a special thank you to our first responders from the Rehoboth Police Department and Rehoboth Fire Department who joined us at arrival on Wednesday to help welcome our students back to school!
We are so fortunate to have such supportive community partners who consistently show up for our students, families, and staff. We truly appreciate all that they do for PRES and for our community each and every day—and especially all they do to help keep us safe!
Thank you, RPD and RFD!

Open House and PTSA Meet Up TONIGHT!
ONE DR district. ONE Falcon family. ONE incredible year ahead!
Today, we came together for our 2026 Districtwide Convocation, and the energy was high!
- The Marching Band and Color Guard students kicked us off in true Falcon fashion.
- We celebrated the strength of our unified, PreK–12+ community.
- Superintendent Bill Runey challenged us to embrace what makes us strong, rethink what may need to shift, and continue to ignite, empower, and shape a district where everyone belongs.
We’re energized, we’re united, and we’re ready to get to work. Let’s make it a great year!

BUS ROUTES ARE NOW PUBLISHED!
Bus routes for the 2026–2027 school year are now available!
Please take a moment to check your child’s bus route and stop on the district’s Transportation Page: https://www.drregional.org/page/transportation
A few important reminders:
Arrive 15 minutes early to your child’s bus stop. Especially during the first few weeks of school, buses may run up to 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late as schedules are adjusted.
Don’t see your child’s stop listed? Please call or email the school so we can work with Bloom Bus Company to correct any errors. Your child should still wait at their expected stop, even if it is not yet listed on the published route.
Afternoon buses may also arrive up to 15 minutes late while routes are being finalized.
We will notify families by email when we are aware of significant bus delays.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we get our transportation routines up and running.

Mrs. Monte, Mr. K, and Nurse Elizabeth all took one for the team and got SLIMED!
Now, you might be wondering, "Why in the world did that happen?" Well, our incredible PRES students and families absolutely crushed our Boosterthon Fun Run fundraiser, raising over $34,000 to support our school!
When our students rise to the challenge, so do our staff—even if it means getting covered in slime!
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing families, students, volunteers, and PTSA for making this year's Boosterthon such an incredible success. Your generosity and enthusiasm will make a lasting impact on our school.
We'd say it was worth it... although Mrs. Monte, Mr. K, and Nurse Elizabeth may still be finding slime in their hair!
Have a great summer!
