Poplar Bridge is working to become a computer science immersion school that harnesses the power of computer science to master the Minnesota content standards while solving real world problems. We will integrate national computer science standards, a design thinking framework, and computational thinking skills, beginning in the 2019 school year.
Preschool SAFARI offers a quality extended-day preschool experience for three, four, and five year olds. Licensed preschool teachers provide 2.5 hours of instruction with learning opportunities that focus on social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Our teachers integrate elements of science, technology, engineering, art, and math across the curriculum. In addition we host two STEAM Activity Days each year to offer special opportunities to students. We value our partnerships with Richardson Nature Center, Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and Science From Scientists.
All grade 5 students have the opportunity to participate in band and orchestra.
The focus of this program is to provide on-site child care and enrichment opportunities for students, before and after school hours. Students build friendships, independence, and confidence through a variety of activities. The staff facilitates a warm and secure environment for students. Kids’ SAFARI is a fee-based program that is open from 6:30 - 8:30 a.m. and 3 - 6 p.m.
