Grades 3-6 Spring SEL Screener Window opens March 10!
The Spring Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener will be administered to students in grades 3-6 between March 10 and March 28. Students who have been opted out will be given an alternate activity during the administration in their class. Students use the SEL Screener twice a year to share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop skills they need to succeed. The screener works by asking questions or presenting statements that students can think about and respond to. More information is available about the SEL Screener by accessing this link.
If you have any questions please reach out to our SEL Screener Lead, Beth Mertens, at eemertens@fcps.edu.

We are excited to continue Poplar Tree’s Science Night Expo! It’s an exciting opportunity for each student to create a science-related project that captures their interest.

If your child is working with another student, both children need to submit their interest on the google form. Please remember that parental supervision the night of the Expo is required.
