March is health and wellness month at Emerson. Thank you to the Emerson PTA who have created a healthy lifestyles calendar for each student. We will be announcing daily activities from the calendar over the PA and students will complete each of the daily activities on the health and wellness calendar and submit the completed calendar for a special recognition at the end of the month. Let’s all commit to living a healthier lifestyle!

Emerson Elementary PTA holds an annual walk-a-thon to raise money for the many programs we support throughout the year. Your donation helps to provide classroom supplies to every teacher, a curriculum-based field trip for each student, teacher grants, an annual art competition, wellness week, STEM Night, a year-end school carnival, yearbooks, teacher appreciation events and more!
The suggested donation amount is $35-$45 per student. However, no matter what amount you give, ALL students will participate in a fun walk-a-thon event on Friday the 21st. We provide music and encourage the students to move their bodies around the field for one hour. They can skip, run, hop, walk, or dance! Please consider joining your child for this fun event.
There have been a lot of questions regarding where kids can be dropped off in the morning, who can come into school before the bell rings and concerns about morning traffic.
We now have a new Map with the routes and guidelines.
Eureka Math Parent Resources
Your involvement in your child’s education can have a significant impact on his or her success in school. That is why the teacher-writers who developed the curriculum, also created a suite of parent support resources that will help you support your child at homework time. These resources include:
• Homework Helpers — A grade-level resource that provides step-by-step explanations of how to work problems similar to those found in Eureka Math homework assignments. There is a Homework Helper to go with every homework assignment in the curriculum.
• Parent Tip Sheets — Topic-level tip sheets that explain math strategies and models provide key vocabulary, sample problems, and links to useful videos.
Watch for a Eureka Math parent letter to come home with your student. This resource will provide step-by-step directions on how you can create an online account so that you can start accessing these fantastic resources.
Please look under Policies and Procedures for new information on HB175 regarding volunteering. Contact April Reynolds for addtional information if needed.

Dear SLCSD Families,
Excellence and Equity: Every Student, Every Classroom, Every Day: this is our vision statement for the Salt Lake City School District (SLCSD). We are committed to achieving this vision and ensuring ALL students in our district obtain a quality education.
We believe in our students and in their hopes, dreams, and potential. Our schools and our students are strengthened by our district’s diversity. SLCSD embraces and supports all of our students, regardless of background, race, ethnicity, or any other factor. And we will continue to champion our students and families, and to welcome and teach every single child who enters our school doors.
In January 2017, the SLCSD Board of Education passed a Safe School Resolution affirming our district’s commitment to our students and our schools. During these uncertain times, we appreciate the support of our teachers and our parents in having conversations with students about current events and reassuring them that school will always be a safe space.
Below are some tips to help adults talk with children about these important yet challenging topics:
During the school year, SLCSD administrators and counselors are a good resource to assist teachers and parents in addressing any concerns that may arise when speaking to children. We in SLCSD will never stop doing what is right for ALL of our students.
Yours in education,
Lexi Cunningham, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Salt Lake City School District
When choosing a day care for your child, you may want to ask them about transportation. A few examples of questions are: where is the pick up and drop off area, do they prefer morning or full day for kindergarten, do they transport early for breakfast or do they serve it at their center? Visit the center at different times of the day, ask about activities, policies, etc. Below are listed the day cares that have served Emerson.
