Emory Volunteer meeting

2025 - 2026 School Calendar

At Emory Academy, our goal is for at least 95% of our students to be at school every day. Strong attendance is key to student success—when students miss school, they miss important instruction, discussions, and opportunities to grow as readers.

Research shows that students who miss just 2 days of school each month can fall behind by an entire grade level in reading by the end of elementary school. Even a few absences can make it harder for students to keep up.

This week, we were so close to meeting our goal with 94.95% attendance! Let’s work together to reach—and even surpass—our 95% goal. Every day counts!

En Emory Academy, nuestra meta es que al menos el 95% de nuestros estudiantes asistan a la escuela todos los días. La asistencia constante es clave para el éxito de los estudiantes; cuando faltan a la escuela, pierden instrucción importante, discusiones en clase y oportunidades para crecer como lectores.

Las investigaciones muestran que los estudiantes que faltan solo 2 días al mes pueden quedarse atrás hasta un grado completo en lectura para el final de la primaria. Incluso unas pocas ausencias pueden dificultar que los estudiantes se mantengan al día.

¡Esta semana estuvimos muy cerca de alcanzar nuestra meta con 94.95% de asistencia! Trabajemos juntos para lograr—y hasta superar—nuestro objetivo del 95%. ¡Cada día cuenta!

We are excited to welcome volunteers for the 2025–26 school year! Whether you are interested in chaperoning a field trip, helping in classrooms, or supporting on campus, we would love to have you involved.

Even if you have volunteered at Emory before, you will need to attend our annual volunteer meeting to review the roles and responsibilities of being a volunteer and to learn about other opportunities to support our Emory community.

This meeting will be offered both in person and virtually to make it easy for everyone to participate. A link to the meeting will be shared soon.

¡Estamos emocionados de dar la bienvenida a nuestros voluntarios para el año escolar 2025–26! Ya sea que esté interesado en acompañar a una excursión, ayudar en las aulas o apoyar en el campus, nos encantaría contar con su participación.

Universal Benefits Application Form

The California Department of Education (CDE) began using a new method to give money to school districts called the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). The LCFF gives money to school districts based on the needs of students, including English Learners, students who qualify for free or reduced meals, and foster youth. In order to determine how much money your school will receive this year to serve all our students, the District is required to verify and submit to the CDE every student's family income eligibility based on the UBA Application.

NAVY SCHOOL LIAISON WEEKLY WRAP-UP

Military families are invited to connect with their School Liaison by signing up to receive a weekly email. A School Liaison’s primary function is to serve as a conduit between parents, educators, and the command so military-connected children experience a seamless transition during the transfer between schools. Once settled, a School Liaison provides military families with up-to-date education and Navy resources available in support of PreK-12 students.

To opt in to receive emails from your School Liaison, Mindy Hayes, email nbcslo@us.navy.mil or call 619-991-2509.

The following anti-bullying resources/strategies are utilized to raise awareness and prevent bullying:
