We celebrated the grand opening of the new Teen Center in the Emeryville Center of Community Life (ECCL) with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This innovative space, furnished by IKEA, will serve as a modern study and collaboration hub for students.

The Teen Center has been thoughtfully redesigned to support after-school programs and will eventually be available for public rental as a community center, offering a unique space for various activities and events. Check out a recap of the celebration!

Emery students Ellyana and Jordan discussed their debate experience with Bay Area Urban Debate League (BAUDL) on KTVU Fox 2! We are proud to work in partnership with BAUDL and provide this opportunity for students to gain critical skills and share their voice.

EUSD was featured in the California School Boards Association (CSBA) blog about our academic success:

Emery Unified School District — a two-school district located in the Bay Area — has seen significant improvement among its African American students in recent years, with test scores on the rise and chronic absence rates declining.

“We’re certainly excited and proud of our students and staff and the progress that we’ve made,” said Emery USD Superintendent Quiauna Scott.

We kindly ask all parents and guardians to complete the Are You Returning survey. This important survey helps us plan for the upcoming school year by confirming enrollment and ensuring we can provide the best resources and support for every student. Your timely response is greatly appreciated and will assist us in making informed decisions about essential preparations. Thank you for your cooperation!

PG&E were on-site February 21 to connect the solar panels to power! This project is expected to be completed by mid to late March. We are excited to take the next step in our eco-friendly initiatives!

Emery High School recently held an assembly in partnership with the Emeryville Police Department about cybersecurity and social media safety. The presentation provided valuable information about how to protect personal information and navigate the online world responsibly. Thank you, Sergeant Montoya, for the guidance!

We are dedicated to protecting all students and families, and making sure they feel safe, welcome, and supported at school every day. All children in the United States have the right to a free public education, without regard to their or their families’ citizenship status, as upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Plyler v. Doe (1982). This includes access to:

• Enrollment without providing immigration-related documents.
• Confidentiality of personal and family information.
• Participation in all school programs and activities without discrimination.

We are truly grateful for the trust our community has placed in our school district. For students and families who need more information or support, we have included a list of local legal resources that can help our immigrant community, as well as tips on creating a family preparedness plan. No matter what challenges arise, we are ready to face them together with our community. We will continue working to make sure that Emery Unified School District is a safe and welcoming place where all students can succeed without fear.
