Message from the Principal
Ms. Tiffany Wind
I am excited to serve the community as the Principal Palmetto Elementary School. I have over 15 years of experience in the field of education. Palmetto Elementary is a student-centered environment focused on helping children and families learn, grow, and achieve. Throughout the year we have many events to highlight student growth and achievement including Fall Festival with student led conferences, literacy night, and our annual Books, Arts and Music Event. We welcome our families to partner together with us to support each child to create personal and academic success daily. Every day is a great day to be a PLE Gator!
