2024-2025 Student Calendar

Emory Academy SSC is a group of parents, teachers and staff elected by their peers who meet together approximately once each month to help create, maintain and monitor the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) which establishes the goals and activities/strategies for each school year. This team works together to manage a budget provided by the district to enhance the school and improve student learning. The overall purpose of the SSC is to improve instructional programs at Emory Academy in order to meet the needs of all our students. It provides a framework for changes through which parents, teachers, and school administration can focus on the development of a high quality educational program for all students. Each member is elected for a two-

year term.

Emory Academy currently has 2 parent/community spots available for the 2024-2025 school year.

The following parents have indicated their interest in becoming members of our School Site Council (SSC). If you are interested in participating in SSC, please email Mrs. Nelson at rnelson@sbusd.org or complete the interest form that will be sent home on Monday, Feb. 3rd.

This week our students were introduced to Sustainable Development Goal 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth. SDG 8, which stands for "Decent Work and Economic Growth," means making sure everyone has a good job that pays them fairly, keeps them safe, and lets them use their skills to contribute to the economy, so that everyone can live a better life, without having to work as children or in dangerous conditions; it's like making sure everyone gets a good job that helps the whole community grow.

Thank you to our families and staff that participated in our Community Schools Steering Committee. Your feedback through the application process has been incredibly helpful and allowed my to generate a plan that I think will make our school a competitive candidate amongst the other candidates. While we wait to hear from the state about the status of our application, we do plan on making sure that we continue the great work at Emory. Please be on the lookout for opportunities to give your feedback, participate in community events and much more.

Community School Definition: A family-centered, equity-driven hub that serves every child and strengthens our community through partnerships that provide comprehensive integrated services in health, wellness, and education.

Workshop will be done in English and Spanish by our school Social Worker and Family Liaison team. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
