Dear Poplar Tree Families,
Thank you to everyone who attended the Block Party last week. It was a great turnout and a tons of fun. Thank you to all who volunteered to help and a make it such a success!
This week we enjoyed hearing so many of our students share their musical talents at our strings, band, and chorus concerts. Congratulations to Ms. Ford, Ms. Kelley, Ms. Seipp, Ms. Gonzalez, and Ms. Stauber on helping to prepare our students for these concerts!
This week Ms. Andujar visited a 1st grade classroom. Check out the video below to see which one!
Enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend!
Sue Andujar, Principal

📚Library books are due back by Friday, May 30
Please return all books to the Poplar Tree Library by Friday, May 30 to avoid a lost book fine. Payment for lost books can be made using My School Bucks between May 30-June 11 but a hard-cover replacement is always preferred. Check your email for a list of books your student currently has checked out.
📔Order your yearbook today!
Cherish the memories from this year. Yearbooks will be distributed the first week in June. Don't miss out on a guaranteed copy for your student and order before the distribution date. If you are unsure whether you already ordered a yearbook, email Mrs. Riddile to check. To order, visit http://jostens.com and type Poplar Tree in the Find Your School box.
➡️2025-2026 Parent Input Form⬅️
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 TODAY, Friday, May 23.
This system is not intended for families to request specific teachers. Requests for specific teachers will not be honored.
🤝 Deloitte's Impact Day🤝
Poplar Tree Elementary School will be hosting a group of volunteers from Deloitte’s Impact Day on Friday, June 6th. The team, led by PTES parents Jason Richards (2nd Grade) and Jillian Ramlogan (2nd Grade), will help teachers pack up their classrooms and finish end of year tasks, create a new sensory walk outside of the school, and perform beautification to the exterior of the school. Volunteers will be wearing Deloitte-branded attire and will not interfere with the 6th Grade Promotion Celebration occurring that morning.
If you are a PTES family member who works at Deloitte, you can sign up on the internal Deloitte Impact Day page beginning Monday, 5 May. If you have additional questions, please contact Jason Richards (richa2jm@gmail.com) and Jillian Ramlogan (j@ramlogan.me).
🎓Class of 2025 Grad Walk!🎓
We are looking forward to welcoming back all our PTES alumni on Monday, June 9 for our annual grad walk! Students should arrive in the front for photos by 9:45. The walk will begin at 10:00.
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!
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!
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our PTA Nominating Committee for their thoughtful work in identifying and recruiting new leadership for the upcoming school year. Your time, effort, and care in building a strong slate of candidates is deeply appreciated!
A big thank you as well to the amazing parents who have stepped up to serve as PTA board members. Your willingness to volunteer your time and talents helps keep our school community strong, connected, and thriving.
Make Your Voice Count!
Please join us at our upcoming PTA meeting to vote on the proposed slate of board members. Your participation ensures a smooth transition and helps us continue the important work of supporting our students, teachers, and families.
