MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Emerson Families,
Happy Memorial Day! This is the unofficial start of summer and we hope you are ready. There is one last chance to sign up for summer school if you haven’t done so already. Here is the information for the Summer LEARNS program at Oxford (offered June 5- August 11). To register click here.
We welcome you to join us tomorrow morning, May 26, for our first annual Pride Parade. We will meet on the blacktop at 8:30 am to march in support of the Welcoming Schools Curriculum and our LGBTQ community. Tomorrow is also a spirit day and students are encouraged to dress in their class colors:
Pride March / Spirit Day Colors, Friday, May 26:
5th Grade- Red
4th Grade- Orange
3rd Grade- Yellow
2nd Grade- Green
1st Grade- Blue
Kinder- Purple
Tuesday, May 30th, will be a student reward day! The After School Kids World program has reserved Jumpy Houses and is generous enough to share them with the whole school. Each lunch recess will be longer so all students, even those not in Kids World, can join the fun. In order for your child to participate, we need a completed Waiver of Liability form. This form was sent home in backpacks on Monday. You can obtain a copy from the front office, or print out this form and return to the front office or your child’s teacher. Your child will not be able to participate if we do not receive this completed form.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s time to say goodbye to our 5th Grade Class. The Promotion Ceremony will take place on our school blacktop on the last day of school, which is Friday, June 2nd. We will have two reserved chairs for each family. Additional family members/guests are welcome to bring their own chairs or stand. The ceremony will last until approximately 10:15 am. We look forward to honoring this great group of students.
On Tuesday, May 23rd we approved our new PTA Board for the 2023- 2024 School Year. We want to thank outgoing President Rana Cho for all her hard work and dedication during such a difficult time for our community. We applaud her for caring for us in the midst of a global pandemic- You rock, Rana!
Take care,
Jana Holmes
