Emerson Update 03/22/24
Principal's Corner
Dear Emerson families,
We have made it through another marking period. Card marking 3 ends today and we slide our way into spring recess next week. School resumes on Monday, April 1st, and we are into the home stretch. When we return, today at lunches we announced that for the 4th card marking we will be moving to 3 lunches: A, B, and C Lunches. The schedule for those lunches can be found in this newsletter.
Then that first week back from break will be gearing up for the PSAT-8 on April 10th. We will have a Digital Readiness Check on Wednesday, April 3rd so students feel prepared for the actual test on the 10th. A reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on April 8th and it will only be a 1/2 day on Wednesday, April 10th for our 8th graders only. There is further information later in this newsletter regarding the PSAT 8.
For our 7th grade students, this is a Virtual Learning Day.
Prior to April 10th, teachers will share (either in class or through Google Classroom) assignments and learning materials for April 10th. On April 10th, our 7th students are responsible for visiting each of their Google Classrooms to follow up and check for any additional teacher information as it pertains to April 10th assignments and learning materials. Teachers will be available to students during the school day via email and Google Classroom messaging.
I wish you and your family a wonderful and restful break, and we look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday, April 1st.
With Eagle Pride,
Bruce Rivera
Principal

New Pedestrian Crosswalk
THANK YOU LPS and the City of Livonia!
Emerson has new and improved crosswalks for our students!!! Livonia Public Schools and the City of Livonia has been very supportive by moving the crosswalk at Emerson to the west side of the street, per our request, so students and pedestrians can cross and remain on sidewalk, as opposed to crossing the street and then needing to cross the mouth of the driveway at Emerson.
