Parent-teacher conferences are approaching! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher and learn about your child’s academic progress. We look forward to seeing parents and guardians next week. If you have any questions, please contact your school office.

In the past year, Emery Unified School District embarked on a transformative journey, guided by our comprehensive strategic plan. We invite you to read our annual update at the link below.

Influenza (flu) is a contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses. Flu can be more dangerous than the common cold for children. Each year, flu places a large burden on the health and well-being of children and their families. Annual flu vaccination offers the best protection against flu and its potentially serious complications in children. Parents can help children fight flu by getting themselves and their children vaccinated against flu each year (source).

Contact the Emeryville Health Center for more information on flu shots!

At Emery High School, students are learning about different trades and career pathways! Students recently visited Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, a workforce development program organization specializing in preparing youth, women, and individuals in reentry for high-road careers and green pathways that offer family-sustaining wages. There will also be a field trip to a real construction site where students can learn more about construction careers. Students are looking forward to this cool learning experience!
