I have two kids at Palmer Way and I'm very happy with the staff and teachers they are very well organized and professional. They are in constant communication with the help of ClassDojo app letting us know about their progress and class activities in general, at the end of the day they come back from school happy and ready to complete their homework or practice the tasks on the web page providing support sites to practice at home. Thank you to Mrs McLaughlin and Mrs McKean for making such a great impact on our kids.

I have 2 kids currently attending Palmer Way 1 is now in Kinder and the other one just started in Pre-School. The parents are actively involved in this school and the staff's seem to know everybody by name. The principal is really good with students and you can see her going around each classroom and checking all their work everyday. So far, I like all the teacher that my kids had. They can see potential in a child and push them more to make sure that they don't get bored in their class or fall behind. The principal answers email inquiry in a timely manner. The front office are all helpful and the children knows them by name.
