Welcome to Emerson School! Emerson is a kindergarten through fifth grade school in a strong East-side neighborhood. Emerson is firmly committed to the district's vision of success for every student.
Emerson strives to meet the learning needs of students in an atmosphere that fosters community and academic excellence. Along with instruction in math, language arts, and other academic areas, students receive additional information in the areas of computers, the arts, physical education and library skills. Many instructional activities are provided in a variety of learning modalities to enhance the learning of all students.
Emerson is a SAGE school, which features reduced class size in our primary grades. Emerson also offers support in the areas of reading and math. Students who are learning English as a second language are supported through the English Language Learner program, and there are bilingual services in Spanish available to students and parents. In addition, we are a choice school for families who are living in sheltered housing.
It is our hope that the Emerson community is inviting and open to all. We hope that parents and the community find ways to participate with us as we educate students to be leaders of our future. Educating today's students is an important mission, and we welcome the talents of many volunteers. Please contact Emerson teachers, the PTO president, or myself if you are interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities.
Once again, welcome to Emerson.
Sincerely,
Karen Kepler
Principal
