Dear Families,

Students are more than welcome to ride their bikes or scooters to school! It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy the fresh air. However, we want to ensure everyone stays safe, so here are a few important reminders:

✔️ Walk your bike or scooter when entering and leaving campus.
✔️ Park bikes and scooters at the bike racks located at our front entrance on Josie Ave.
✔️ Remember to wear a helmet and follow all traffic safety rules.

Thank you for helping us keep our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone! 🚴‍♂️💙

We love seeing you walk your pets to school with your student(s) but we have a few reminders.

• 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.

This year we are excited to announce that Emerson will be participating in the School Cents fundraiser. We have an opportunity to raise money by shopping at any of the following shopping Centers through April 30th - Lakewood Mall, Los Cerritos Mall, and Stonewood Center. The only thing we need from families is your receipts uploaded to their website from any participating stores it those centers. They can either be dropped off at the school for us to upload, they can be emailed to Emerson directly (a link will be provided before Friday), or they can be uploaded by the person making the purchase. Friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and anyone else who you'd like to invite can participate.

See the flyer below to for bonus opportunities during the E-Waste Recycling!

This is our last opportunity to earn points and increase our chances of earning more before the contest ends on April 30th!

Receipts can be brought to the office, or uploaded on your own - whichever is easiest! A drop box has been placed on the front counter, and a mailbox has now been added next to the Main Office door in the hallway to make dropping off receipts even easier.

We're slowing moving up! This month we moved down to 21st place in the contest, but there's still time to help us move back to the top 10 before the contest ends! Let us know if there are any questions. Don't wait, upload your receipts today, or turn them into the office and we can do it for you.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!

Click the button above, or the photo below, for the E-Waste Recycling form needed to give Emerson credit for your device. Forms are also available in the Main Office between 8:30am-4:00pm.

5th Grade students will be receiving a free yearbook, so there's no reason to purchase one. If you have already purchased a yearbook for your 5th Grade student, please email President@EmersonPTA.com for a refund.

Please allow extra time to get to school as we anticipate there maybe be traffic due to the new start time for Middle and High school students.
