Back to School Info Take 2

Hello Emerson Families,

We always value parent feedback to make improvements to our school and to reinforce areas of strength. Please take a few minutes to complete the annual Parent Survey.

We are extending our Bully Prevention Poster Competition through next Wednesday. Students can find out more information on their Class of 2031 or 2032 Google Classrooms.

Proud to be an Eagle,

Mr. Jensen, Principal - bjensen@livoniapublicschools.org

Mr. Stephens, Asst. Principal - estephen@livoniapublicschools.org
