Butterfly Collage

 

Dear Poplar Tree Families,

This week our preschoolers released some of their butterflies! They had a lot of fun watching the butterflies start out as caterpillars and go through various stages of their life cycle! Way to go preschoolers!

We are so happy the weather has held out for our block party tonight! As a reminder it's from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm in the Poplar Tree parking lot. There will be lots of fun, games, and food for all!

Don't forget to click on the the video below to see which classroom Ms. Andujar visits this week and get some updates for the week ahead!

Sue Andujar, Principal

As we look ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, we are asking for your input. We value our partnership between home and school and appreciate your thoughts on your child's learning needs.  

If you feel that there is pertinent information to support your child’s success for the upcoming school year, please complete this optional Parent Input Form by NEXT Friday, May 23.

Poplar Tree Field Day

Our Poplar Tree Field Day will be Friday, May 30, 2025. Please see the flyer for specific times for each grade level. We will need volunteers to make the day successful! All students will be trained in the events so you do not have to teach the games. Volunteers will help monitor safety and keep the station running smoothly. Check out the Sign Up Genius HERE to volunteer!


Adapted PE Field Day

 

Poplar Tree Adapted Field Day

Students participating in our self-contained Adapted PE classes will be engaging in stations with their PE Pals as part of a culminating activity on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. They will then be transitioning out to the playground to continue the fun. 

If you would like to join your child and their classroom teachers to continue the fun, please plan to head to the playground from 1:45-2:15pm. You will need to check in at the front office before the event. Please email Kirsten Birge at KEbirge@fcps.edu by May 30th if you are planning to join!
