National Night Out
National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.
The San Diego Police Department partners with several community organizations to create safe and engaging community events in areas throughout the City. Please join San Diego Police Department and Emory Academy in this wonderful opportunity. We would love to see everyone in their Emory blue shirts participating in the event.
Attendance Matters
Our students and staff are off to great start in the 2022-23 school year! It is wonderful to have all of our students back in the classroom and learning.
As we get further into the school year, we would like to remind you of the importance of good attendance for all students. Every day a student is absent is a lost opportunity for learning. Too many absences not only can affect achievement for the absent student but also can disrupt learning for the entire class.
Research shows that students who consistently miss school are at risk of lower academic achievement, failure and even dropping out of school altogether.
Bringing awareness to the issue of chronic absenteeism, and providing information and resources to parents can help improve student attendance and, consequently, student achievement. We saw during the pandemic how important it is for all students to be learning in-person from their teachers and alongside their classmates.
This year, we will be continuing with our various attendance challenges, random attendance days and grade level challenges. This week I am excited to share that our school attendance average is 98.96%. Below you will find the attendance percentages for each grade level.
TK/K: 98.18%
1st: 100%
2nd:100%
3rd:100%
4th: 98.33%
5th:100%
6th: 96.43%
