Dear Emery Unified School District,

As we celebrate Black History Month and the efforts African American leaders have given so that all students can experience an equitable education, let’s also look to the future and support our students so that they may approach the future with tenacity.

Many historic African American leaders were in our shoes, at school, as teachers, educators and students. African American educators pioneered many critical academic support systems including early childhood education and community involvement programs, the start of parent-teacher associations, and Black Studies, just to name a few achievements. Our students can be the next leaders if they believe it, and if we support them.

In our classrooms, we are committed to promoting respect and engagement with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs. Our students thrive when they are surrounded by diversity and respect for their peers.

Enrollment is now open, and we look forward to meeting our new students and families in the fall. Please contact our office for more information.

As we approach CAASPP testing, it's important to remember that coming to school every day is critical to knowledge retention and will help your student build their learning achievements for the next grade. Please stay home when you are sick but come to school when you feel better.

COVID-19 safety is still important. Please continue to practice COVID prevention methods. As a school district we will keep you updated as conditions change.

Let’s continue to work together in support of our students. Your encouragement as parents, guardians, mentors and teachers is critical to the students’ success.

Sincerely,

Dr. Quiauna Scott

Superintendent
