Emerson Parent & Community Newsletter (October 11, 2023)
In the Month of October we are celebrating Disability History and Awareness Month. Please join us in understanding and accepting all people with disabilities, the important contributions they have, and continue to have, in our society. Disability History Month allows all students to know the endless possibilities of where they can go, while developing a sense of pride in themselves and their disabilities, and become more civically engaged in their communities.
With respect and admiration,
Mrs. Dominguez, Principal

Emerson Uniform Policy
Pet Reminder
- Pets are not allowed on campus in the walkways leading to gates and beyond
- Please do not allow students to pet your pet
- Please clean up after your pet.
UPDATED - Safety Concerns: Pick Up / Drop off
Safety concern: More parents are driving the wrong way on the one way street off of Willow, please adhere to all parking and directional signs at all times. Also we noticed a few cars unattended in the middle of the street can cause traffic to back up and possible accidents. Please do not park in the bus loading zone or in red zone, or turn your hazards on and leave your car double parked and unattended with/without other children inside. Safety is our utmost concern, and we thank you in advance for making sure we keep everyone safe and ticket free. Our school neighbors have kindly asked that we remind parents to NOT block their driveways when dropping off and picking up, OR, leave any children in their cars unattended while walking to drop off other siblings to the school campus.
