Dear Poplar Tree Families,
At Poplar Tree, we strive to provide an educational environment where all feel welcomed, safe, and supported to learn. Part of our commitment is to provide our students with meaningful learning opportunities that allow them to continue to grow as Ethical and Global Citizens. During the month of May, we have planned some grade-level lessons focused on the power of our words.
We will hold the lesson with our 3rd and 6th grade students. During the lesson, we will go over what it means to be an upstander and reflect with students about the power of words and how they can impact others. We will also go over the Stop, Think, Act strategies with students.
In preparation for the lessons, families are invited to join us virtually for a review of the Student Presentation before the PTA meeting on Thursday, April 25 at 6:30. You can join this virtual presentation via Zoom HERE.
If you have any questions or would like support at home, please feel free to contact the administrative team directly.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sue Andujar, Principal
Amy Alley, Assistant Principal

Fairfax County Health Department School Health Services Survey
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians of FCPS students. Parents/guardians will be asked for feedback on the level of satisfaction with School Health services provided to the school community. The survey will be distributed electronically via FCPS This Week. The survey window is April 15 - April 26, 2024. Survey link: www.redcap.link/FCHDSchoolHealthSurvey.
Survey results will provide a basis for quality improvement of School Health services. The data-driven process is in alignment with the FCPS Strategic planning process, and the survey results will contribute positively to the FCPS Strategic Plan that reflects a shared consensus among stakeholders.
