Dear Poplar Tree Families,

This week we kicked off our quarterly House meetings! We will continue with more morning meetings next week! These meetings are an opportunity for all students in one house to get together and get to know each other. Students walked around saying hello to one another, played a game called "Just Like Me", and heard about how other students in their house had earned pink tickets! 

As a reminder, this Monday is our 3-hour early release and students will be dismissed at 12:25 pm, unless you otherwise indicated your child will need to stay after school until the usual dismissal time of 3:25 pm. You should have received a confirmation in your email earlier this week about when and how your child will be going home. If any changes need to be made, please let our office know as soon as possible.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sue Andujar, Principal

Amy Alley, Assistant Principal
