STUDENT-INVOLVED CONFERENCES!
We are looking forward to having our teachers meet with you and your child during Emerson's Student - Involved Conferences. During this time, students will showcase their goals and academic progress. It is important to include your child in these conferences so that they can take ownership of their academic plan for the year.
Conference dates and times are as follows:
Wednesday, October 26th from 4:30 to 7:30 PM
Thursday, October 27th from 1:00-3:30 PM & 4:30-7:30 PM
On Thursday, October 13th each classroom teacher will be sending home classroom and/or grade-level specific conference information via email. Our teachers will once again be using the online scheduling service, Sign-Up Genius, to do so. This process is very easy, and only takes a few minutes to sign-up for a time. If you have multiple children at Emerson, you will receive an email from EACH teacher and will need to review information from them to ensure multiple conferences are scheduled. Links will also be included in next week’s edition of the Bulldog Bark.
We look forward to seeing everyone at conferences. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

HALLOWEEN PARADE OCTOBER 31st @ 10:45AM
October 2022
Dear Emerson Parents,
Halloween is quickly approaching! Children are shopping for costumes, planning their candy routes, and anticipating exciting activities. At Emerson we recognize this excitement in our students and we want to ensure Halloween is a fun-filled, positive experience for all of our students.
On Monday, October 31st students will be celebrating Halloween. This is an EARLY RELEASE DAY and students are dismissed at 1:30 P.M. Our school-wide parade will begin at 10:45 A.M. and we will parade through the neighborhood. Parents are welcome to stand around the parade route. We will be walking down Admiral (west) and making the loop around to come back to the school. Parents are also welcome to stand in the gym or the media center to see the children walk by.
All students must come to school in regular school clothes on October 31st. Students can wear light Halloween makeup to school that day (eyeshadow, painted freckles, rosy cheeks, etc.). All makeup and hair products must stay home from school that day. Students will be able to change into their costumes prior to the parade.
Make sure to adhere to the following rules:
1. Masks are not to be worn in school or during the parade.
2. HEAVY makeup is not to be worn (light makeup only-eyeshadow, painted freckles, rosy cheeks, etc.)
3. Glitter and fake blood are not to be worn or brought to school.
4. Fake or real weapons are not to be brought to school, i.e., swords, guns, knives, daggers, and the like.
5. Inappropriate costumes are not to be worn to school. Please choose costumes that are positive and/or represent a good role model for our students.
6. No roller blades, roller blade shoes, skateboards or scooters.
7. No bare midriffs.
8. Please use common sense and good judgement when sending your child to school on October 31st.
Classroom teachers will be organizing their classroom or grade level teachers. Please make sure to follow all guidelines and parameters as set by the classroom teacher. Some of our classrooms are NUT-FREE and the teachers will inform you of all pertinent information. If a classroom party has not begun when you arrive, please wait patiently. This is needed to allow for a smooth class transition with minimal disruptions.
Remember: a couple of pieces of candy in your child’s lunch are plenty during the week. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Mr. Argiri
School-wide parade @ 10:45 A.M.
