Staff for the 2020-21 School year

We are so excited to have such an amazing team here at Poplar Tree. We have some new faces at Poplar Tree, some familiar faces in new places and some familiar faces in the same places. Please check out the Meet our Staff section of the PTES Webpage which lists the staff members on each team and includes a picture and brief video. 

We also had a few changes over the summer

Christina Arnberg, 6th Grade teacher, was selected as the School Based Technology Specialist (SBTS) at Forest Edge ES. We wish her all the best and know she will do great things!

Melissa Sitter, 4th grade teacher, has decided to take a Leave of Absence this school year to care for her own children. We will miss Ms. Sitter this year and look forward to her return for the 2021-22 school year.

Nancy Billington, special education teacher, decided to retire this summer. She decided that after 29 years as a teacher in Fairfax County it was time for a new phase of her life. We wish Ms. Billington all the best!

Who's my teacher?

For the 2020-21 school year, you will receive an email directly from your child's teacher letting you know who they are. Be on the lookout for the email on Thursday, August 27 at 3:30!

Student placement for the 2020-21 school year was a little different this year. We were asked to keep the in-person and online student cohorts together when possible. And, our teachers have been designated as either a in-person or virtual teacher. We want to ensure a smooth transition to in-person learning when health conditions allow. ALL our staff works hard to make school a positive experience for ALL students. We are all eagerly looking forward to enriching your child’s life. 


meet teacher

 

Every classroom teacher will be scheduling a virtual Meet and Greet session with each child and family in their class. You will access these Meet and Greets with your child's Blackboard Collaborate Ultra link that will be sent to their fcpsschools.net email. Look out for directions on how to access this link as well as some other details for the Meet and Greet in your teacher's email!
