    A message from POPLIN ELEMENTARY

    Good Evening Poplin Families, this is your principal, Shanda Lauri with this week’s reminders. Thank you to everyone who came out to the Back to School Bash, we had a great turn out.  

    Our upcoming Curriculum Carousel is this TUESDAY, September 16 drop-in between 4:30-6:00. You will get to experience what your student is learning in Reading, Math, Science & SS. Teachers will be sending out information soon to sign up for conferences. 

    This Thursday, September 18 is HOUSE Spirit Day: Which HOUSE can show the most HOUSE spirit? Bring out your RED, GREEN, BLUE, & BLACK tutus, necklaces, shirts, pants and lets see who has the most spirit! SInce Kindergarteners are learning about all four Houses they can dress in all colors or Poplin green. Remember 4 Houses = 1 Family

    We passed out car rider tags for afternoon pick up last week. If you need one for pick up they are in the front office. 

    This year we are on a 6 day Specials rotation. We have added ‘Learning Lab’ to the rotation schedule to help with the amount of students. We rotate A-F, if we are out for a workday, inclement weather or Holiday we will pick up where we left off. Tomorrow will be C day.

    Reminder breakfast and lunch are not free. You can still complete the Free & Reduced Lunch form through Pay School Central, the link is on the Community HUB or the school website. Any money accrued since the first day of school is due to the cafeteria. 

    We will begin having lunch visitors this week Monday- Thursday ONLY no visitors on Fridays. Any lunch visitors will sit on the patio with your student only. Please watch the weather and do not visit on rainy or cold days since the outside patio is where you will be sitting. 

    The Poplin PTO loved seeing so many faces at the Back to School Bash on Friday night. Special thank you to all our vendors and donors, check the PTO social media accounts to see who is supporting Poplin from the local community. The PTO membership drive is happening now.

  • Beginning this school year, #UCPS will begin using PaySchools Central for school meal payments. The district will no longer use K-12 Payment Center. Balances from K-12 Payment Center will transfer to the new system. Parents should create an account and will need their child's Infinite Campus student ID number.
