THE SECOND STEP SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING CURRICULUM K-8
As you know, in September we kicked of the Second Step Curriculum in all K-8 classes to further strengthen our social and emotional learning. Second Step offers weekly, age-appropriate virtual lessons for students to help them with a variety of social and emotional skills. These weekly lessons build on and support all of the great work we're doing at Ike to support our students. Combined with our schoolwide restorative practices and consistent PBIS expectations, we are creating a firm Tier 1 foundation for supporting all of our students' social, emotional, and behavioral development.
This week, each grade-level will begin a new unit. Please view the grade-level home links below to learn more about what your child is learning and how to support them at home during the second unit of Second Step.

STUDENT-LED CONFERENCES
We are looking forward to having our teachers meet with you and your child during Emerson's Student- Led Conferences. During this time, students will showcase their goals and academic progress. It is important to include your child in these conferences so that they can take ownership of their academic plan for the year.
Conference dates and times are as follows:
Wednesday, October 23rd from 4:30 to 7:30 PM
Thursday, October 24th from 1:00-3:30 PM & 4:30-7:30 PM
On Thursday, October 10th each classroom teacher will be sending home classroom and/or grade-level specific conference information via email. Our teachers will once again be using the online scheduling service, Sign-Up Genius, to do so. This process is very easy, and only takes a few minutes to sign-up for a time. If you have multiple children at Emerson, you will receive an email from EACH teacher and will need to review information from them to ensure multiple conferences are scheduled. Links will also be included in next week’s edition of the Bulldog Bark.
We look forward to seeing everyone at conferences. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Mr. Argiri
ATTENDANCE MATTERS...
This year, we're working hard to advance student success by reducing chronic absenteeism. At the end of each month, our team will be reviewing student attendance and will be setting up meetings with families whose students have missed 10% of our school days. During these meetings, we will be creating success plans in an effort to help improve student attendance.
Students who miss 2 days of school in September often go on to become chronically absent. To maintain satisfactory attendance and to create good attendance habits that can last a lifetime, students should strive to miss no more than 9 days per year (or less than 1 day per month).
HALLOWEEN PARADE OCTOBER 31ST @ 10:45AM
Dear Emerson Parents,
Halloween is quickly approaching! Children are shopping for costumes, planning their candy routes, and anticipating exciting activities. At Emerson we recognize this excitement in our students and we want to ensure Halloween is a fun-filled, positive experience for all of our students.
On Thursday, October 31st, students will be celebrating Halloween. This is an EARLY RELEASE DAY and students are dismissed at 1:30 P.M. Our school-wide parade will begin at 10:45 A.M. and we will parade through the neighborhood. Parents are welcome to stand around the parade route. We will be walking down Admiral (west) and making the loop around to come back to the school.
All students must come to school in regular school clothes on October 31st. Students can wear light Halloween makeup to school that day (eyeshadow, painted freckles, rosy cheeks, etc.). All makeup and hair products must stay home from school that day. Students will be able to change into their costumes prior to the parade.
Make sure to adhere to the following rules:
1. Masks are not to be worn in school or during the parade.
2. HEAVY makeup is not to be worn (light makeup only-eyeshadow, painted freckles, rosy cheeks, etc.)
3. Glitter and fake blood are not to be worn or brought to school.
4. Fake or real weapons are not to be brought to school, i.e., swords, guns, knives, daggers, and the like.
5. Inappropriate costumes are not to be worn to school. Please choose costumes that are positive and/or represent a good role model for our students.
6. No roller blades, roller blade shoes, skateboards or scooters.
7. No bare midriffs.
8. Please use common sense and good judgement when sending your child to school on October 31st.
Classroom teachers will be organizing their classroom or grade level activities. Please make sure to follow all guidelines and parameters as set by the classroom teacher. Some of our classrooms are NUT-FREE and the teachers will inform you of all pertinent information. If a classroom party has not begun when you arrive, please wait patiently. This is needed to allow for a smooth class transition with minimal disruptions.
Remember: a couple of pieces of candy in your child’s lunch are plenty during the week. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Mr. Argiri
