Dear Emerson Community,
As a reminder, earlier this week, we conducted a lockdown drill at Emerson Middle School. During the drill, we reviewed and practiced our district's lockdown protocol: RUN-HIDE-FIGHT.
It's important to remember that these options are not in a specific order. The best course of action will depend on the situation. Situational awareness is key and we took time with your student to discuss each of those options during that drill.
Livonia Public Schools remains committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all students. Our district has invested significant resources into safety measures, including staff training, building equipment, and emergency protocols.
Please be assured that we take every safety threat seriously and work closely with our building administration, central office staff, and local law enforcement to address any potential issues.
It's important to note that rumors can spread quickly, especially among teenagers. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's safety, please don't hesitate to contact the school office directly. We will always prioritize the safety of our students and will communicate any credible threats or dangerous situations promptly.
To help you understand our emergency procedures, please familiarize yourself with the following terms:
- Hold-in-place: This procedure is implemented during emergencies that require clear hallways, such as medical incidents. Students remain in their classrooms, and teaching and learning continue as usual.
- Lockdown: This more serious procedure is initiated only in the event of an active threat within the building. It's essential for students to follow established protocols during a lockdown.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
With Eagle Pride,
Bruce Rivera
Please check with your family doctor to make sure that your student is up to date on their immunizations. Letters are in the mail for those students who are not shown as complete in the Michigan Immunization Registry.
Livonia Public Schools typically sets an Exclusion Date for mid October - this means that all students who are not fully vaccinated or waivered by then will be excluded from coming to school.
Emerson Student Handbook & Code of Conduct
- This has been updated for the 2024-20254 school year.
- It can be accessed HERE.
- Please partner with us by reminding students that cell phones and electronics should be "AWAY FOR THE DAY"!
- All students must keep backpacks in their lockers. Small drawstring bags and purses may be carried throughout the day.
- We do not allow Hats and/or Hoodies to be worn during the school day.
A few key things to note:
Dear Parents of students with medical needs,
In planning for the upcoming year, I wanted to remind you to notify the school of any health care needs that your student may have. If your student has a medical condition including a severe allergy, asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy an Individualized Health Care Plan (attached below) needs to be updated annually by your physician to identify what actions need to be taken should an emergency situation arise.
In addition, if your student requires medication at school for any reason, please complete the attached Medication Authorization Form with your physician and return it with the medication to the main office ASAP.
**If your child needs more than one medication we need a Medication Authorization Form completed for each medication provided to the school.**
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Shannon Matuska at 734-744-2665 ext. 79759 or by email: smatuska@livoniapublicschools.org.
Thank you,
