Message from the Principal
Dear Emerson Families,
As we move into October, we look forward to many fun activities. This Friday, October 18 students will be treated to a performance of Macbeth by the San Francisco Shakespeare Company. Sunday, October 20, we invite all Emerson families to participate in the Walk-A-Thon, from 10 am to 2 pm. This promises to be an amazing event, that will give everyone an opportunity to connect and show support for our school.
Halloween is quickly approaching and you may be deciding what your student’s costume will be. We ask that you steer clear of costumes that are very scary, bloody and we do not tolerate weapons of any kind. As in years past, students, staff and parents are invited to participate in the annual parade. We will meet on the blacktop after recess at 12:50 pm, and then walk through the community to show off our spirit. The staff has voted on our secret theme for the year, and we are busy preparing for the excitement.
The Committee Training Meeting is tonight, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Longfellow Middle School. Superintendent Stephens will give a special address regarding the district’s budget. We will also hold a School Site Council mini-meeting during this time. All are welcome to attend. RSVP for food and Child Care at: tinyurl.com/BUSD2019.
This fall, on Thursday evenings, we are enjoying an empowering Equity Circle, led by Ms. Pamela Harrison-Small, and supported by the PTA. After meeting for two sessions, we have already formed a team of school staff and parents who are committed to learning through our stories, while creating meaningful change to benefit all students.
A special thank you to the many volunteers who make Emerson a better place. Whether you bring coffee on Fridays, helped with picture day, or are a Room Parent, you make a positive difference, and we appreciate you..
Sincerely,
Jana Holmes, Principal
