Palm Pointe Educational Research School at Tradition

Principal's Letter

Palm Pointe is an educational research school with a unique partnership between Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and St. Lucie County School District (SLCSD). It is located in the beautiful town of Tradition in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Because of its unique distinction of being a laboratory research school, the school's demographics make-up must mirror the demographics of the state of Florida. I am honored and proud to be the principal of this school and look forward to leading and supporting the team that will provide all students opportunities to reach their full potential. Established school- wide expectations will ensure high achievement for all students encouraging consistent focus on structured choices, self-esteem and belonging is the foundation of this educational institution.

During our initial year, we developed a school culture that was positive, inviting to the community and inspired success through innovation and the implementation of best practice teaching techniques. We earned an A rating by the DOE and meet 97% AYP criteria. That is an amazing accomplishment for a first year school. Reaching out to parents and community partners expanded the opportunities we provide to our students. We welcome back our returning rockets and welcome those of you who are new. The Palm Pointe Rockets did blast off and will reach even higher heights during the 2009-2010 school year.

GO ROCKETS!!!
Sincerely,
Debra Snyder
