STRATEGIC PLAN SURVEY AND COMMUNITY MEETING
We are excited to embark on the creation of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan—a roadmap that will shape the next five years of excellence in Fraser Public Schools. This plan will continue to focus on our strong traditions of excellence by staying committed to our core values and beliefs - Innovate, Learn, Lead.
To ensure this plan reflects the needs and aspirations of all stakeholders, we are launching a community survey to gather input. The survey will remain open through October 1st, and we encourage all families, staff, students, and community members to share their thoughts. This is your chance to help shape the future of Fraser Public Schools, and we want to hear from you!
In addition, we will be holding a Community & Parent Meeting to kick off the strategic planning process on October 1 at 6 pm in the Fraser High School Media Center.

PARKING LOT REMINDERS!
Hello Parents,
I would like to share some parking lot and community street information with you. The north parking lot, Admiral St. and Danna St. have several challenges with traffic when it comes to dropping off and picking up children. Over the years the Emerson community has made it a priority to practice patience and tolerance and follow some simple guidelines. It is YOU that makes the difference in our parking lot and on our streets. I can relate this to the organization of children at Emerson. Whether students are walking through the halls, transitioning between specials, or evacuating the building, if a few students get out of place or become distracted from the system, it leads to problems, confusion and possibly a dangerous situation.
Please note that the parking lot has new arrows showing there is only one way in and one way out! The parking lot also has freshly painted lines for designated no parking areas.
Here are a few guidelines for us all as we work together this year to make our parking lot operation and local street traffic the best it can be.
1) Always practice patience and tolerance and remember you are in the presence of children, your actions and words do not go unnoticed.
2) Do not park in the pick-up and drop off lane, this lane has to be a continuous flow at all times.
3) Make sure to move forward all the way to the front of the lane when dropping off. The portion of the sidewalk with the ramp is not the drop off point! The entire sidewalk needs to be used. (Stopping in the middle of the lane causes open space and creates another line of traffic attempting to move to the open space.)
4) Children should exit the vehicles on the sidewalk side.
5) Make drop-offs as quick as possible. We all love our children, but we have to make it a quick kiss and goodbye!
6) Be respectful and courteous to our local homeowners and neighbors by not parking on lawns or blocking driveways during school pick-up or drop-off times.
7) Keep our parking lot and streets clean and litter free.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to our wonderful Emerson community!
Mr. Argiri
NO PARKING!
The following pictures indicate pinch points in the parking lot that hinder the flow of traffic.
These areas need to remain free of parked cars at all times.
