Message from the Superintendent

Hello Emery Unified School District community,

Welcome to the new school year! I am so excited to have our teachers, staff and families together again as we start another year of learning, discovery and growth.

Every year, there are new opportunities for students to advance in their education and grow in their social-emotional skills. I encourage parents and guardians to stay involved in your child's education. You will surely see them shine and expand their horizons.

It is important to stay connected with our school district to receive the latest updates and information. I look forward to connecting with parents and staff this school year as we work to provide a well-rounded education to our students. Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year!

Sincerely,

Dr. Quiauna Scott

Superintendent

Back to School Nights

Save the date! Back to School Night is Wednesday, August 30, 2023. We look forward to seeing you there!

Back to School Tips

Ensure your contact information is updated with your child’s school.

Attend Back to School Night and communicate with your child’s teacher to understand your student’s academic progress.

Sign and return all forms sent home at the start of school, including the consent form for your student to receive services from Emery Health Center.

Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students access learning opportunities and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job. Help your children stay engaged and in school by encouraging them to talk about their school experience.

EUSD Health Services for Students

At the start of school, it is very important for all students to submit their completed consent form to receive dentistry, eye exams, vaccinations, and medical services at Emery Health Center. Parents and guardians, please fill out the form and ensure your child returns it to their teacher.

The form is available digitally here.

If you need assistance or a replacement form, please contact your school’s office.
