Dear Poplar Tree Families,
News reports of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia have caused fear and anxiety for many families in our community for many different reasons. Some are worried about friends and family living overseas, or the potential of a loved one who serves our country being sent overseas. Others fear escalation that could impact the safety of nearby countries and the global economy.
News coverage can also be triggering for families who have experienced violence here at home or war in other parts of the world. Many of our own FCPS families have left countries in conflict, fleeing war and violence, often leaving loved ones behind in the process of seeking safety. This comes at a time when our country is still recovering from a pandemic that has disrupted our daily lives for two years.
If your child needs additional help, please do not hesitate to reach out to our school counselors, psychologist or social worker who can check in with your child at school.
Please know that we are here to support your family in any way that you need.
Take care,
Sue Andujar, Principal
Carol Larsen, Assistant Principal
