The spring semester is off to a great start. We have many exciting events coming up. One of those is the Sweetheart Dance. Don't forget to get your tickets. If you have wanted to be a part of the amazing team who plans events for our school there are positions on the PTA Board that need to be filled. Please read for more information below. Although the month of February is short, we celebrate Black History Month, the Lunar New Year, and kindness. What an amazing month!

Emerson Uniform Policy
Pet Reminder
- Pets are not allowed on campus in the walkways leading to gates and beyond
- Please do not allow students to pet your pet
- Please clean up after your pet.
PLEASE READ - Safety Concerns: Pick Up / Drop off
Safety concern: Student should never be crossing the street outside of the crosswalk, through other cars, in the middle of the street. Please don't ask your students to run across, through cars, as this is extremely unsafe. Near the gate on Willow, more parents are driving the wrong way on the one way street off of Willow, please adhere to all parking and directional signs at all times. Cars that are being left unattended in the middle of the street can cause traffic to back up and possible accidents. Please do not park in the bus loading zone or in red zone, or turn your hazards on and leave your car double parked and unattended with/without other children inside. Safety is our utmost concern, and we thank you in advance for making sure we keep everyone safe and ticket free. Our school neighbors have kindly asked that we remind parents to NOT block their driveways when dropping off and picking up, OR, leave any children in their cars unattended while walking to drop off other siblings to the school campus.
