    🌟Emerson Weekly Updates 9/25/23🌟
     
    Good Evening Stars!
    This week is a mellow week for Emerson. It's a good week to do some family game nighting or reading together.
    Reading together is a great way to build a culture of literacy in your home.
    Check out this great article on family literacy.
     
    Here are our updates for this week:
     
    🌟Outdoor Science School🌟
     If your child is attending OSS please be on the look-out for an additional email this evening.
    If your child is not able to attend please remember that they are expected to be at school for those three days. They too will be focusing on science.  
     
    🌟PBIS/StarBucks Goals🌟
    We are continuing to work towards 1100 StarBucks for our goal around effort and focus in class. We made it about halfway to our goal last week. We know that our Stars can be amazing scholars and humans and are looking forward to having them challenge themselves to be their best selves.
     
    ⭐️LUNCHTIME SORTING⭐️
    We did a great job separating out our trash last week thanks to all our Star-tastic volunteers! Thank you so much to all the family memebers who came out to support us.
     
    ⭐️School Site Council⭐️
    We are looking for an additional voting member for our School Site Council. If you are interested please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/CeYHGopwyLT3PdHz5
    After, there will a school-wide vote to elect the member. School Site Council members are elected to a two year term. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email.

    We have had several neighbors approach us about cars picking up students and blocking driveways. This cannot happen. You must stop and/or park in legal parking spaces. Please be especially mindful of this on Tuesdays.

    We will be holding a meeting for all 5th grade parents to discuss Outdoor Science School happening at the end of this month, TOMORROW at 6:00 pm in the auditorium. It is very important that families attend especially if you are still deciding on attendance.

    🌟PBIS/StarBucks Goal🌟

    We will be working this week to earn 1100 StarBucks by focusing on Safety and School Stewardship. We really want to make sure that we are working together to take care of our school and following guidelines on the playground to keep each other safe.

    This is a good time to discuss at home how we take care of our environment and spaces we share with others.

    We will announce our reward on Thursday.

    Our Morning Stars program will begin tomorrow. If you have registered you will recieve a separate email later this evening with all the details.

    🌟Emerson Weekly Update🌟

    Good Evening Families,

    Thanks for a wonderful week! We appreciated seeing you at Back to School Night and are looking forward to partnering with you throughout the year. Here are the updates for the week of August 28th.

     

    🌟Morning Stars Program

    We are trying very hard to be able to fund the morning care program for early arrivals and kinder Late Birds. Currently, we are shy of the amount of students needed to support the program. We are reaching out one more time to see if you would be interested in this program. 

    The flyer is attached.

    If you have submitted your interest form we will be reaching out next week with a hopeful start date of September 4th. However, we need at least 5 more families.

    🌟After School Care

    Both Burbank Parks and Rec and the Boys and Girls Club have additional openings for after school care here at Emerson for grade 1-5. Please visit our website for additional information or go to their websites directly.

    🌟PBIS/StarBucks Goals

    This week our Stars did a wonderful job meeting our PBIS/StarBucks goal. This week we will focus on RESPONSIBILITY. This is a good time to talk at home about what makes us responsible both at home and at school.

    Part of school is learning how to gain independence through out the years as we move towards secondary school. Even TK students can move towards independence and understanding responsibility when expected to have responsibilities around the house. Examples of this may include staying on a schedule, helping with a pet, or having chores. 

    Our goal is to earn 1100 StarBucks as a school. Our reward will be announced Thursday afternoon if we are successful!

    🌟School Site Council

    Please check your email from last week for information on our School Site Council happening on Wednesday evening. Another message will go out Tuesday evening.

    🌟Traffic Safety

    Please be courteous of neighbors when picking up and dropping of students. Please refrain from double parking and/or using driveways not belonging to the school. Also, please walk to the nearest crosswalk to walk students across the street. We have seen too many close calls and want to make sure that we are doing our best to keep our Stars safe.

    Thanks so much and have a wonderful evening!

    Mrs. AJ

    We had a great week last week discussing how we make our school a place where we all enjoy learning and growing together. I have seen so much kindness and care of each other already! This week we will focus on perseverance and empathy. 

    We use StarBucks to reinforce positive contributions to our community. This week we are working to collect 1000 StarBucks as a school. Our reward for this week will be announced on Thursday! We are excited to see our Stars grow and succeed. 

    This is a great time to point out and discuss empathy and perseverance at home. How can these traits help us be successful and help others succeed as well?
