The Palmyra Area School District's four elementary schools take pride in providing a strong academic start for the community's children. With a focus on the core curriculum areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies, a dedicated and skilled staff provides a solid foundation for our students education.

The mathematics program emphasizes the development of strong problem-solving and computational skills. Effective reading and writing skills are developed through guided instruction and daily interaction with quality literature. The social studies and science programs stress comprehension and analytical skills.

Our elementary schools build on this strong foundation with a variety of specialized programs. Computer labs in each building and computers in each classroom introduce our children to the technology that will help them learn today and tomorrow. Music, library, art and physical education for all students provide creative avenues for a well-rounded educational experience. Our district-wide gifted program begins at this level to offer unique challenges for academically talented students.

To ensure that all our students succeed, the district offers special assistance to students with particular needs. Reading Recovery®, an intensive one-on-one program, helps our first graders who find reading a challenge to become successful readers. In addition to the district-wide support services, reading and math support are provided at all grade levels.

Palmyra Area School District has a Director of Elementary Education to coordinate our district-wide elementary programs, and each elementary school has its own principal. Additionally,  we are  proud of the strong PTO, which builds a valuable partnership between our parents and teachers to benefit our children.
