⭐️Good Evening Emerson Families!
We are so excited to welcome you back to school tomorrow. School begins for all students at 8:30am. Please see your previous email for all the details regarding the first day of school.
For this of you who are new here, you can expect an email and phone call each week to let you know about all the activities going on at school for the week. This is the first one of the year and I am excited to get started.
STAR'S PLEDGE WEEK: PBIS GOALS AND FOCUS⭐️
This week all of our STARS will be working to learn and review our Star's Pledge. We will be focusing on teambuilding, creating community, and succeeding together. All of our teachers and staff have planned great activities to help build the type of community that supports all students with joy and kindness.
STAR SQUAD⭐️
At the end of last year our school started a group of peer mentors called Star Squad. Our Star Squad will be out on the yard helping to welcome you to Emerson.
WATER and HEAT⭐️
Please make sure your children have plenty of water. It is best to send reusable water bottles to school. We have several placed to refill bottles. Please clearly label them. If you would like to donate water please do so directly to your child's classroom.

We are excited to once again offer a full PE program with a credentialed PE teacher. PE begins tomorrow! Please make sure students are wearing athletic shoes.
