Spring has officially sprung at Emerson and the excitement is in the air! On March 11th, the school's annual spring vocal concert took on a deliciously fun twist as the students in the first, second, and third grades took the stage. Directed by the talented Ms. Williams, the performance was called Cookies the Musical, and it brought together creativity, teamwork, and a love for music in the most delightful way.
Each grade level played an important role in making the story come to life. The first graders were puppies, second graders were bakers, and the third graders were a variety of tasty cookies! The musical's narrative celebrated the nuances of trying new things and meeting new friends along the way. Ms. Williams’s passion for bringing out the best in her students shone through in every performance, and the result was a concert that was both entertaining and memorable. Here's to many more deliciously entertaining concerts to come!

CANVAS LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM!
All students, grades Young 5s-12 use Canvas, a learning management system. Classroom teachers use Canvas to provide instruction, resources, activities, and assessments for students, as well as parent communication.
Parents are encouraged to set up a parent/observer account to stay abreast of student learning. Canvas will allow parents to:
- Contact their child’s teacher
- View grades, due dates, and events
- See, and in many cases access, what the child is doing at school
- Support an absent student
- View classroom and building announcements
Downloadable directions are linked below. In addition, helpful videos and walk-throughs may be found linked HERE.
