Family Reminders

TK & Kinder Parents: Please drop students off on the playground and leave after a quick “goodbye” or “see you later.” This helps foster independence and gives students the space to play comfortably.

We kindly ask that you do not wait in the hallways or peek in the classroom windows which will also support their independence.

All Families: When the 8:55 a.m. bell rings, please make your way to the exits. We ask that there be no lingering in the hallways or on the playground.

Reminder: Student restrooms are for students only in order to protect the privacy of all children. If you need to assist your child, please come to the office first, and we will direct you to the appropriate restroom to use.

Dear Families,

Students are more than welcome to ride their bikes or scooters to school! It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy the fresh air. However, we want to ensure everyone stays safe, so here are a few important reminders:

✔️ Walk your bike or scooter when entering and leaving campus.
✔️ Park bikes and scooters at the bike racks located at our front entrance on Josie Ave.
✔️ Remember to wear a helmet and follow all traffic safety rules.

Thank you for helping us keep our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone! 🚴‍♂️💙

Hey Everyone! Attached below is the Fall Fundraising kick off video that our students saw in class today. Please look through the packet that they received today that includes yummy treats and goodies. Items orders will be delivered before Thanksgiving Break. Emerson will receive 40% of the profit, and students can earn incentives for sales they make.

We love seeing you walk your pets to school with your student(s) but we have a few reminders.

• Pets are not allowed on campus in the walkways leading to gates and beyond
• Please do not allow students to pet your pet
• Please clean up after your pet.

Please allow extra time to get to school as we anticipate there maybe be traffic due to the new start time for Middle and High school students.
