Dear Poplar Tree Families,
This week we held our Kindergarten Orientation to welcome the Class of 2038 to Poplar Tree starting next year! We loved seeing their smiling faces as they:
- Hopped aboard a real school bus!
- Discovered the wonders of reading in our library with Ms. Riddile.
- Visited the Kindergarten classrooms to get a glimpse of their future learning spaces.
- Participated in a special "Signing Day," officially welcoming them as Future Panthers!
Adding to the week's celebration, we also had the privilege of honoring our students with autism during Autism Awareness Week. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their unique strengths and talents, fostering a culture of inclusion and understanding within our school community!
We hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
Sue Andujar, Principal
Amy Alley, Assistant Principal

🫵🏼 We Need You for the PTES PTA Board 🫵🏼
We need your help to continue to have a strong and active PTA next year. Without a board, our PTA will dissolve and our school will no longer have after-school programs, community events, grants to support funding needs, and more.
Check out the PTA website for detailed position descriptions and estimated time commitments. If you have a question about a position, or the PTA board, please email nominations@poplartreepta.org. Submit your nomination by April 22!
The PTA Board develops goals for the PTA, appoints committees, and makes time-sensitive decisions in between regular board meetings to ensure that our students and teachers have the resources and support necessary to thrive. PTA Board volunteers serve our local school community and make real, tangible impacts for our students, parents, and teachers. We champion events like the Panther Prowl, Back-to-School Nights, Spelling Bees, and Science Fairs. We support teacher appreciation events, keep parents informed, and coordinate our room parents and event volunteers. Come join us and make a difference in our school community!
