A Note of Gratitude!
Emerson Families,
During the month of November, Emerson teachers and students have taken time to reflect on what and who they are grateful for. We would love to hear from our valued families and community what and who you are grateful for at Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School.
Please take a brief moment to express your gratitude to our amazing staff by sending an email to that person/people on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Students can also deliver written notes or you can say something in person if you see the person before or after school.
This can be for any staff member, ancillary included! (kitchen, office, custodial, SACC, etc.)
Feel free to email me at Samuel.argiri@fraserk12.org any school related items that may be general or not specific to one person and I will share that with the Emerson staff. You can also send me the emails for our ancillary staff to share with them.
Your words of appreciation make a great impact on our climate and culture. Thank you! :)
Sincerely,
Mr. Argiri
Look for comments in next week’s Bulldog Bark!

SECOND STEP SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING CURRICULUM K-8
As you know, in September we kicked of the Second Step Curriculum in all K-8 classes to further strengthen our social and emotional learning. Second Step offers weekly, age-appropriate virtual lessons for students to help them with a variety of social and emotional skills. These weekly lessons build on and support all of the great work we're doing at Emerson to support our students. Combined with our schoolwide restorative practices and consistent PBIS expectations, we are creating a firm Tier 1 foundation for supporting all of our students' social, emotional, and behavioral development.
This week, each grade-level will begin a new unit. Please view the grade-level home links below to learn more about what your child is learning and how to support them at home during the second unit of Second Step.

Happy Thanksgiving from Ms. Gordon's 1st Grade Class!
COLD WEATHER IS HERE!
Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather each day. Students will start needing warm coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and/or boots daily throughout the winter.
Please take time to label each and every item- because our lost and found gets bombarded with lost winter accessories throughout the season
Please note that, per Board Policy, we will be having outdoor morning lineup and heading outdoors for our 20 minute recess(es) if the windchill is 10+ degrees.
Time outdoors is time well spent for kids, in all seasons
