We would like to take a moment to welcome our new and returning families to the 2024-2025 school year at Poplar Bank Public School! Bienvenue à l’année scolaire 2024-2025! 

A huge thank you to all our students, families, and staff members for a wonderful start to the year. It’s been fantastic to see students connecting with each other in their classes and at recess times. A particular welcome to all of the new Grade 3 students who joined the Poplar Bank Public School community this week. Welcome also to the seven teachers who have joined the PBPS team this year: Mme Amar, Mme Eyahpaise, Mr. Irwin, Mme Lusan, Mme Orrett, Mme Palfi, and Mme Potts. Bienvenue!

We are also mindful that the transition back to school can be a challenge for some of our learners. Staff are working hard at intentionally providing students with opportunities to get to know each other and their teachers, to familiarize themselves with new classroom routines, and to get used to the rhythm of the school day. Thank you for all your support as we work as a team to support students during this time. 

As the year begins, if you have questions about your child’s learning and progress please do not hesitate to reach out to the teachers. We believe that the family-school relationship is a key to success, and look forward to working as a team to support our learners. We also invite all families to read our family​ weekly newsletters. These newsletters are sent out to all families on Friday afternoons, and are a great way to learn more about what is going on at Poplar Bank and throughout the York Region District School Board.

Best regards, 

Melanie Chamberland 

Principal
