Paw Print week of March 16-20 2020

Sue and Holly

Dear Panther Families, 

Spring weather sure arrived with the time change this week. The official first day of spring is next Thursday.  We really enjoyed seeing all of the acts at the Talent Show last Friday. The students, teachers and dads really rocked the talent. 

We know many of our families are looking for updates and information about the cornoavirus, COVID-19. A variety of resources about coronavirus, including "Talking to Children about COVID-19," a handout about COVID-19 from the Fairfax County Health Department and updated FAQs have been posted here. 

At Poplar Tree, we are following all Fairfax County Health Department guidelines and have been thoroughly deep cleaning classrooms and common spaces and providing time to wash hands, especially before eating. 

Please watch for an additional News You Choose message with information regarding specific event cancellations at Poplar Tree. 

This continues to be an evolving situation and FCPS is committed to keeping families updated. We know this is a time of uncertainty and we will get through this together. 

Take care, 

Ms. Andujar and Ms. Walker
