Hello Emerson Families!

As the winter season approaches, the staff and I are looking forward to our upcoming schoolwide December events! We will have Spirit Fridays leading up to winter break, and our Winter Sing and class parties on the last day before break. 

Speaking of Winter Sing, this loved tradition has always been an exciting occasion for our students to showcase their musical talents. I would like to remind families that Winter Sing is designed as an exclusive event for our students to enjoy, and has never been open to families. This intentional decision allows our young performers to shine in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere. We welcome families to attend the Spring Sing event and experience the joy of our students' performances firsthand.

I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining this tradition for the benefit of our students. We will be recording the event and sharing the link via ParentSquare shortly afterward.

Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to celebrating the start of winter with your child/ren!

Have a great weekend!
Sheleen DeLockery, Principal

Hello Emerson Families!

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here, as well as Parent/Teacher Conferences! We look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child's progress and partner with you to continue their success here at Emerson. Please be sure to check out the lost and found items near the main office while you're in the building. 

I'd also like to take a moment and say thank you to our Emerson community for all you do to support the students and staff! The staff and I are incredibly grateful to our PTA, volunteers, and families who support us in all we do each day in order to make Emerson a welcoming and happy place for our children to attend. Everyone here at Emerson wishes you and your family and wonderful Thanksgiving and hope you enjoy a few extra days off together!

With gratitude,
Sheleen DeLockery, Principal

Hello Emerson Families!

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping warm in the changing weather! As the weather changes, please remember to send your child to school with layers for different areas of the building with different temperatures, as well as a coat, hat, gloves, and any other cold weather gear they may need. Please remember to label everything with your child's name; we already have a LOT of items in the lost and found in the cafeteria. If their name is on it though, we drop it off in their locker.

Thank you and have a great weekend!
Sheleen DeLockery, Principal

Hello Emerson Families!

I hope everyone is recovering from the Halloween fun! I hope you were able to see on Emerson's Instagram page the fun Glow Lunch we had along with some spooky music. Thanks to your generous purchases of glow items and donations, we were able to raise over $500 to donate to Ukraine and refugees.

As we enter the month of November, it means that Trimester 1 is wrapping up and report cards will be available in PowerSchool on November 17. Parent/Teacher Conferences will be the following week; please be sure to review how to sign up for conferences in the New Information section below.

Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy that extra hour this weekend as Daylight Savings ends!

Hello Emerson Families!

I hope this message finds you well! I'm looking forward to our annual Fall Fest tomorrow night and can't wait to see lots of Emerson families dressed up and having fun together!

This week, we have been continuing our month of anti-bullying; today's challenge on the morning announcements was to talk with classmates about the tools they use to manage our feelings and remain or get calm. "Sometimes when you feel angry it is hard to turn off those feelings. Sometimes, you may want to take out those feelings on others.  However, there are many tools to use when you experience those feelings to help.  Tools such as taking a breath, taking a quick walk or a drink of water, moving your finger on a lazy 8, doing some wall push-ups, or listening to calming music are just some ways to help your body regulate.  Today, talk with your classmates about tools you can use when you feel angry or upset."

Talk with your child about the tools you use to remain calm, or to regain composure, when feeling frustrated and practice together.

Have a great weekend!
Sheleen DeLockery, Principal
