School News

Dear Poplar Tree Families,

WOW! We've ALMOST made it to the end of the school year! Only 2 and a half more days!

Today we celebrated our 6th grade class of 2026! We had a beautiful promotion ceremony followed by a fun filled (indoor) celebration! It's safe to say a good time was has by all! Thank you to our 6th graders for all the hard work and perseverance you have shown during your elementary years. Thank you to our families for your partnership and support through it all. And thank you to our staff for inspiring, motivating, and encouraging our students!

Some of our Kindergarteners have adorable thoughts to share with our 6th graders! Watch this video to hear what they have to say!

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Sue Andujar, Principal

  • 3rd & 5th graders will KEEP their cases to use for next year.
  • 4th & 6th graders should RETURN their cases to us.

If you have completed the form to checkout a device for the summer, please be sure you have returned the paper purple form that was sent home. Without this form, we will not be able to send the device home with your child for the summer.

Students keeping their device over the summer still need to bring their devices to collection to be checked out for the summer.
