Dear Panther Families,
Another wonderful week at Poplar Tree. Field Day was amazing and so much fun for all. Fall weather cooperated with us and it wasn't too hot for students. A huge thank you to all of the parents who volunteered to help make the day a success.
Monday, October 14th is a student holiday. The day is a school planning day which provides the staff time to collaborate and plan together.
Next week is Cafeteria Workers Appreciation Week. Please take a moment to share your appreciation for all of the hard work that our cafeteria workers do each day.
Have a fantastic fall weekend!
Ms. Andujar and Ms. Walker

Our school is celebrating Digital Citizenship Week with spirit days and activities focused on developing healthy habits around technology use. Students will have a choice board to select at least one activity a day that matches the daily theme. Parents can also choose to sign up to receive text messages from Common Sense Media with Tips for Health Tech Balance (for children ages 3-8).
Below you’ll find the schedule of spirit days along with resources and suggested activities to help support healthy habits at home too.
Spirit Days for the Week of October 21-25:
