TK and Kinder Morning Drop Off
If you would like to wait with your child you may do so outside of the Josie Hallway doors near the classrooms. The doors will open at 8:55am for students to enter.
UPDATED - Safety Concerns: Pick Up / Drop off
Safety concern: 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. Also we noticed a few cars 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.
Our Emerson PTA Membership Drive starts TODAY!
