School is Out!

As we close the doors on our inaugural year, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our students, families, staff, and community for making this year so special.

Together, we opened a brand-new school, built meaningful relationships, created traditions that will last for years to come, and laid the foundation for something truly amazing. From our first day as Coyotes to the countless memories made throughout the year, every success has been possible because of the partnership and support of our incredible community.

We are so proud of what we accomplished together and even more excited about what lies ahead in Year Two. The future is bright at Poplar Hill Elementary!

For now, we encourage everyone to enjoy a well-deserved summer break. Spend time with family, make memories, rest, recharge, and refresh. We cannot wait to welcome everyone back soon, ready to continue growing, achieving, and thriving together.
