Message from Mr. Ali
Dear Poupard Families,
I hope you all are enjoying the start to our Spring Break. This is a great opportunity for everyone to reenergize as we head into the home stretch of the school year. As you know, Poupard believes it takes a strong team of parents and educators to advance their child's learning. While we're on break, there are so many opportunities for your child to advance their learning. Simple ways a student can advance their learning is by reading and asking questions. Additional ways, you may assist your child's learning is by visiting a museum, asking about what they are learning at school and how they'll use it in real life, demonstrating how everyday activities connect to the learning at school.
With that being said, this week I encourage you to ask your learner:
What are they reading?
Where did the story take place?
What do you think is going to happen next in the story?
About how much money should I get back from the cashier?
What shape is this item? (boxes, fruit, cans, etc.)
If I have this many miles to travel and I'm driving this fast, when can I anticipate arriving at my destination?
When you struggling with a problem, how can you move forward?
Thanks for continuing to partner with Poupard in your child's learning!
Principal Ali

Pick-up and Drop-off Reminders
Morning arrival and after school pickup is a chaotic time of the day; similar to when you attend a sporting event, the traffic is simply just unavoidable. The staff and Poupard families shared goal and responsibility is to keep kids safe throughout the entire arrival and dismissal process.
Here are some general reminders for all families:
- Pull your vehicle close to the curb to prevent occupying more than one lane.
- Stay in parked cars as you pickup your child around the circle.
- Place your child's carseat on the rear passenger side.
- Avoid parking in front of cones.
- Wherever possible, park on the same side of the street of the school.
- Cross at the end of the street where STOP signs are located with your child to avoid moving traffic.
- Be patient.
- Our neighbors enjoy peace and quiet. Use car horn only when safety is a concern.
- Park only in designated parking areas in the parking lot.
Lastly, our School Improvement Team is working on a few additional ways to ensure arrival and dismissal runs as smooth as possible with that shared goal in mind. We will share additional anticipated changes in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support and partnership in keeping our learners safe!
Leader in Me Common Language
Every classroom at Poupard has a classroom mission statement. The mission statement provides students with clarity and purpose and gives the students a common language and focus.
