Weekly Reminder - September 1, 2024
A message from POPLIN ELEMENTARY
Good Evening Poplin Families, this is your principal, Shanda Lauri with this week’s reminders. We had a terrific start this week. We will have no school tomorrow for the Labor Day holiday. Parents thank you for getting your students to school on time. We have a great start with our car rider line. We get about 300 families through our car rider line. Parents, you did a wonderful job this week, keep it up! Kindergarten starts Tuesday which will make the car rider line a little longer. Thank you for your patience as all of our students are learning our processes and procedures to keep everyone safe. Remember if you have a change in transportation send in a note. We cannot have verbal changes over the phone. Teachers follow regular transportation unless a note is provided.
As a reminder we are not having parents inside the building at this time. We have put processes in place to keep all of our students safe while they are here at Poplin. If your student is a car rider, please stay in the line and drop off your student. We have adults in the line to walk students in the building. Again for the safety of all please do not park and walk your student. Thank you to all of you who dropped off in the car or at the door as a walker.
Thank you for your understanding and following the procedures in place.
This year when students are out sick for any reason they will have an opportunity to make up any work missed when they return. At this time we will not be sending Chromebooks home with our 3-5 students. Chromebooks are a tool students use in class teachers will send home if needed for assignments. The annual tech fee is for insurance coverage and upkeep. The ‘Opt Out’ letter is if you do not allow your student to use a computer at all. Please reach out if you have any questions.
The UCPS Parent’s Guide to Student Achievement (PGSA) is available for parents.
• Find detailed information on the UCPS Parent’s Bill of Rights page under the section heading of Quick Links for the Parent’s Guide to Student Achievement (PGSA).
If you haven’t joined our PTA please do, they work hard to provide experiences and resources for all of our students and staff. Next Friday PTA will be sponsoring Poplin Palooza. Please drop by from 6:00-8:00 in the back of the school. There will be concessions, vendors, and a ton of games. Join us, it's going to be a blast! This kicks off our fundraiser that is taking the place of Boosterthon this year.
We appreciate you and your continued support with our students' success. Have a great evening!
