EUSD Newsletter

Dear Emery Unified School District community,

Congratulations on accomplishing another great school year! I am so proud to recognize our graduating seniors, promoted students, and teachers and staff who have supported all students throughout their education at Emery. Graduating from high school is an extremely important accomplishment and you should be very proud of your achievements. May you all have prosperous adventures in your future education and careers. I wish you the best as you start a new journey.

For students of all grade levels, this summer, please be sure to continue exercising your literacy skills by checking out books from the local library and reading as a family. Reading supports academic progress for all ages and will inspire a love of learning in your child. Continuing to learn over summer break can help prepare students for the upcoming school year.

We have had a wonderful school year and I look forward to connecting with our Emery community in the fall. Thank you for your continued support of our school district.

Sincerely,

Dr. Quiauna Scott

Superintendent

Excellence - Equity - Engagement - We are #EmeryStrong!

Congratulations to our graduates! Kindergarten students, 5th graders, and 8th graders celebrated their promotions to the next grade level, and our high school seniors celebrated their high school graduation! The week was filled with joy and pride. We look forward to starting another year with our students and staff, and we send heartfelt congratulations to our graduating seniors who are taking the next step in their lives.

Art education is important because it provides students with the opportunity to develop their creativity, critical thinking skills, and express themselves through a variety of artistic elements. Recently, Emery High School students debuted their own sculptures. Students worked on the project "Faux Taxidermy,” paper mâché animal heads decorated with felt, foam and paint. The project took over a month and concluded the 9th, 10th and 11th grade unit on sculpture for classes Art I and Advanced Art. The sculptures were on display with linoleum cuts, a printmaking technique where students carve into linoleum as a printing block and hand-draw the background.

This past school year, the non-profit organization Plastic Free Restaurants provided the eating utensils used in the Anna Yates Elementary School cafeteria.

We are proud to have partnered with Plastic Free Restaurants to make a positive difference in our environment!
