Principal's Letter

February 15, 2026


Good Afternoon Emerson Families,


This weekend I am honored to share that we have not only one, but two Emerson staff members that have received the prestigious Those Who Excel Award from the Illinois State Board of Education!! A huge shout out to Mrs. Nancy Moreno, our head custodian, and Ms. Jenn Ortiz, our third grade dual language teacher for being recommended by our Emerson staff and completing a thorough nomination process! We are thankful for your dedication and immense impact that you have on our school community. We are so proud of you! Mrs. Moreno and Ms. Ortiz will be honored by the State Board of Education this spring at a banquet for award recipients!


We had a wonderful Friendship Day this past Friday and students were so excited to hand out valentines to each other and create valentines for their families! This week was also our second week of the American Heart Association’s Kid’s Heart Challenge! Historically, Emerson Elementary has raised over $30,000 for this important cause! Our students and staff have been recognizing reasons they love Emerson, and we have been displaying shout outs to classrooms and students in our Emerson gym and lunchroom. Classrooms are also creating a class puzzle with puzzle pieces to help them remember that they are a classroom community! We appreciate all of our tiger families and are so thankful for your support and kindness.


Just a reminder that tomorrow, Monday, February 16th, we have no school for Presidents’ Day. We look forward to seeing all of our tigers on time and ready to learn on Tuesday!


Have a great day,


Jean

Carta de la Directora

15 de febrero de 2026


Buenas tardes, Familias de Emerson,


¡Este fin de semana estoy honrada de compartir que no sólo hemos tenido uno, sino dos miembros del personal de Emerson que han recibido el prestigioso Premio a Aquellos que Sobresalen de parte del Consejo de Educación del Estado de Illinois! ¡Una mención enorme a la Sra. Nancy Moreno, nuestra conserje, y la Srta. Jennifer Ortiz, nuestra maestra de tercer grado del programa de lenguaje dual por haber sido recomendadas por nuestro personal de Emerson y por completar un exhaustivo proceso de nominación! Estamos agradecidos por su dedicación y el inmenso impacto que ustedes tienen en nuestra comunidad escolar. ¡Estamos muy orgullosos de ustedes! ¡La Sra. Moreno y la Srta. Ortiz serán honradas por el Consejo de Educación del Estado esta primavera en un banquete para los receptores del premio!


¡El viernes pasado tuvimos un Día de la Amistad maravilloso y los estudiantes estaban muy emocionados de entregar sus valentines unos a otros y crear valentines para sus familias! Esta semana también fue nuestra segunda semana del Desafío Corazón de Niño de la Asociación Cardíaca Americana! Históricamente, la Escuela Primaria Emerson ha recaudado más de $30,000 para esta importante causa! Nuestros estudiantes y personal han estado reconociendo las razones por las cuales ellos aman a la Escuela Emerson, y han estado mostrando menciones especiales a las clases y estudiantes en el gimnasio y comedor de Emerson. Las clases están creando piezas de rompecabezas para ayudarlos a recordar que ellos son una comunidad del salón! Apreciamos a todos nuestras familias tigres y estamos muy agradecidos por su apoyo y amabilidad.


Les recordamos que mañana, lunes, 16 de febrero, no tendremos clases debido al Día de los Presidentes. Esperamos ver a todos nuestros tigres a horario y listos para aprender el martes!


Tengan un día grandioso,


Jean


Jean M. Suchy, Directora de la Escuela Primaria Emerson

Securly: Internet content filtering

D100 has implemented in-school and at-home Internet content filtering on all D100-issued student devices. Securly, the new content filter, can scan/block/log Internet activity such as:

· Searches

· Keywords

· Website Access

· Google Drive content

· Keyword/searches potentially related to self-harm


When any of the above activities are flagged by Securly, a notification is sent to the appropriate D100 administrator for follow-up. Some notifications, such as self-harm, will result in follow-up with the student’s parent or guardian.

Parents/guardians can view their children’s internet activity through the Securly Home app (available for iPhone/Android/Web).


How does the Securly Home app work?

  • First, be sure to add noreply@securly.com in your email application so Securly’s emails don’t accidentally go to your spam folder. Note the spelling of Securly.
  • Beginning tomorrow, Friday, December 3, parents/guardians will automatically receive a welcome email to the account we have on file with simple setup instructions that include:
    • Login setup
    • Downloading the Securly Home app for your device
  • Once the app is installed, you may refer to the attached tutorials on how to use the app as well as the following links:
    • https://homesupport.securly.com/hc/en-us
    • Video Tutorials:
      • Intro to Securly Home: https://youtu.be/vW7FWIHE_vw (en)
      • Intro to Securly Home: https://youtu.be/svPeVF3N8qE (sp)
      • Detailed use of Securly Home: https://vimeo.com/347224788 (en/sp sub)
  • Securly Home setup is required in order to receive notifications about your child’s internet activity.


What if I need help?

  • An email help request to Securly can be made directly within the app under Help>Support.


D100 is committed to providing its students a safe digital learning environment, on and off campus. While no content filter can block 100% of inappropriate content, good user judgment can help fill the gap.

Securly: un filtro de contenido de Internet

El D100 ha implementado un filtro de contenido de Internet en todos los dispositivos del D100 que los estudiantes usan. Securly, el nuevo filtro de contenido, puede escanear/bloquear/tomar nota de la actividad en internet tal como:

· Búsquedas

· Palabras claves

· Acceso a sitios web

· Contenido de Google Drive

· Palabras claves/búsquedas potencialmente relacionadas con autolastimarse

Cuando cualquiera de las actividades de arriba son detectadas por Securly, una notificación es enviada al administrador del D100 que corresponda para un seguimiento. Algunas notificaciones, tales como de autolastimarse, resultarán en un seguimiento con padres/tutores.


Los padres/tutores pueden ver la actividad en internet de sus hijos a través de la aplicación Securly Home (disponible para iPhone/Android/Web).


¿Cómo funciona la aplicación Securly?

  • Primero, asegúrese de agregar noreply@securly.com en la aplicación de su correo electrónico para que los correos electrónicos de Securly no vayan accidentalmente a su carpeta de correo no deseado- “spam”. Note cómo se escribe Securly.
  • A partir de mañan, viernes 3 de diciembre, los padres/tutores recibirán automáticamente un correo electrónico de bienvenida en la cuenta que tenemos registrada con instrucciones para instalar que incluyen:
    • Instalación de acceso
    • Bajada de la aplicación Securly Home en su dispositivo
  • Una vez que la aplicación sea instalada, usted se puede referir a la tutoría adjunta acerca de cómo usar la aplicación así como también los siguientes enlaces:
    • https://homesupport.securly.com/hc/en-us
    • Vídeo instructivos:
      • Introducción a Securly Home: https://youtu.be/vW7FWIHE_vw (en)
      • Introducción a Securly Home: https://youtu.be/svPeVF3N8qE (sp)
      • Uso detallado de Securly Home: https://vimeo.com/347224788 (en/sp sub)
  • Se requiere la instalación de Securly Home para recibir notificaciones acerca de la actividad en internet de su hijo/a.


¿Qué pasa si necesito ayuda?

  • Se puede enviar un correo electrónico directamente en la aplicación bajo Help>Support.


El D100 está comprometido en proveer a los estudiantes un ambiente de aprendizaje seguro dentro y fuera del campus. Aunque no todos los filtros pueden bloquear el 100% del contenido inapropiado, el juicio del buen usuario puede ayudar a llenar el espacio.
