Just a reminder that conferences are for parents only and that Emerson doesn't have child care available during conferences.

Please give yourself time if looking for a parking spot when visiting Emerson. Because of construction, we've had a few changes which impact parking. Until construction is over, busses will be using:

1. The spots on Woodlawn north of Eagles Nest parking lot until the stop sign.

2. The east side of Woodlawn from Liberty to the first driveway on Woodlawn.

Thank you to those who have already signed up to help teachers cut, organize & prep math centers for upcoming Illustrative Mathematics units! We are going to continue to have this sign-up available throughout the year as more boxes and materials are arriving with each unit. If you are willing to give us some of your time to get these centers ready for teachers, it would be greatly appreciated!! Our math coach, Courtney Farrell, will reach out to you with more details after you have signed up. Thanks for considering! Courtney.Farrell@cusd200.org
