Back To School Week
Students, parents and teachers embarked in the 2021-22 school year this past Monday.

Now that school is back in session please remember to PUT IT DOWN in school zones and to always STOP for the school bus!

Palmetto Bay wishes everyone a safe, healthy and fun school year!
M-DCPS Lunchtime & After-School Meal Service
For the 2021-22 school year, all students are eligible for FREE breakfast and lunch meals.

M-DCPS also announced that they will continue with the After-School Meal Service for the school year.
King Tides Expected
King tides are coming soon, and they are the highest and most extreme tides of the year. Gravitational forces and the alignment of the sun and moon cause the tides to change throughout the year.

King Tides can cause flooding in low-lying, and coastal areas. If King Tides coincide with bad weather such as heavy rains, strong winds or big waves we may see more severe flooding. Rising sea levels are causing these tides to happen more often, last longer, and extend further inland than in the past. 
Outdoor Water Restrictions
Although South Florida has received normal rainfall during this year’s wet season, Miami-Dade County continues to promote and enforce its year-round mandatory outdoor water restrictions as an effort to preserve and protect our water supply. #

The County's mandatory restrictions allow irrigating lawn and landscaping two days per weeks based on your home or business address. Click on link below to learn all about Miami-Dade’s outdoor water restrictions.
