Happenings

We are on the big final learning push to the end of the year, and there are many exciting things coming up!

*A big shout out to the fabulous Poplar Grove Secretary, Mrs. Mary Piskie!  We are celebrating Administrative Professionals Day on Wednesday, the 24th.

*A huge round of applause for our Poplar Grove Volunteers.  Whether you have taken time to volunteer in the classroom, as a "Miracle Parent", Library Helper, PTO volunteer; we salute you.  You are such an important part of our team, and we hope you enjoy our special Volunteer Tea, after school on Wednesday.

*Our teachers are going to enjoy tomorrow, the 23rd!  They are going to have the opportunity to watch our Language Arts curriculum expert, Mindy Pudlo, in action as she models best practices in teaching both whole group and small groups of students.

*Ask your student about Eagle Fest!  Are they going to earn a golden ticket?

*Reminder.......Early Release on Wednesday, May 8th.  Our teachers will be learning more about teaching ELL students.

*MAP testing for 2-4th grades starting next Monday!  It will be great to see our spring scores--I believe we will have many things to celebrate.  You will be receiving all end of year testing results in the report card (except ISAT).  Students typically make a big leap academically the last quarter of school, and we can't wait to see what our results will show!!
