Family Math Night
Dear Poupard Families,
Poupard is hosting a Math Night on January 18th from 6-8 pm! Math Night is a great opportunity for families to learn more about how math is taught in school. Families that attend will learn and play fun math games that can be played at home to enrich learning. In addition, families will have the opportunity to experience the technological activities that support our students learning in math!
Each family that attends will receive a gift bag filled with resources and game materials to help reinforce math skills at home. Refreshments will also be served.
Please RSVP by Tuesday, January 16th if you're interested in attending, so that we may accurately plan to have enough materials and food for everyone.
Thank You!

Safe Routes to School Parent Survey
Poupard is working in partnership with the Safe Routes to School program. The Safe Routes program aims to create safe, convenient and fun opportunities for children to bicycle and walk to and from school which many of our students already do. The program has already conducted a walkthrough of routes our students regularly take to get to and from school. Our next step in the process is to gather parent feedback through a short survey which will later be used for writing our proposal. The survey should only take (5) minutes to complete. The Safe Routes Program is able to provide $200,000 in federal dollars for constructing these safe routes and takes about two years to complete.
Please take a moment to take the Safe Routes to School survey by clicking here. The link will be available until January 28th.
Thank you for your support in helping keep students in our community safe!
