Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting the new principal, Ms. Jana Holmes, when she made her first visit to Emerson. While we were only able to meet for an hour or so in my office, I could tell that Ms. Holmes is an experienced principal who is good humored, confident, intelligent, and kind. She is eager to meet all of you and I am sure you feel the same. To that end we have planned a few initial events to get that process started. Ms. Holmes will join us at our All School Meeting this Friday, 5/3, so all the children will have a chance to see her and she will have the opportunity to experience the Emerson school community in action. We have also scheduled an evening PTA meeting combination event, "Meet the Principal" and vote on the proposed PTA budget for next year, on Thursday, May 23rd in the Emerson library. We'll send out the details on timing and how to RSVP in the days to come, but plan on saving the date now if you'd like to attend. Everyone is welcome.
On a second note, please mark these additional dates in your calendar. The week of May 6-10 is Teacher Appreciation week. The PTA has a lovely set of events planned with a breakfast, notes, flowers, a luncheon and massages to recognize and honor our hard working teachers. Please participate as you are able. Open House is the following week on Thursday, May 16th, from 6:00 - 7:15 pm. Finally, the last two weeks of May, May 21st - May 31st have been set aside for end of the year State SBA testing (grades 3-5) and Local STAR testing (grades 1-5). Please make sure your child arrives well-rested and on time to school daily. Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Ms. Hodge
