Emerson Partnership with ASCEND program and Upcoming Survey 

  

Emerson Elementary is partnering with the ASCEND Team to help increase the well-being of our students! ASCEND will be offering virtual supports including social-emotional group counseling, individual therapy, and tips for teachers and parents - all for FREE! Here’s how it works:  

  1. Look for a survey via email or text from school messenger. This survey will help take the “stress temperature” of our student community.   

  2. Click on the appropriate grade-level link and help each of your Emerson students fill out the brief survey.  

    Student Survey (English and Spanish)

  3. We will analyze the collective information and create school-wide supports accordingly.  

  4. We will also reach out to those who indicate they would like more information or support for their family or student’s needs.  

The ASCEND Team includes a licensed psychologist and four graduate-level therapists from the University of Utah as well as a behavior specialist and special education teacher from the SLCSD.

Principal's Message

Principal’s Message

Dear Emerson Families,

Wow, we have nearly made it to winter break! We have survived windstorms, power outages, long school board meetings, and other adventures. Thank you for supporting your students through all of these challenges.

The annual Emerson food drive raised $3216 which is 12,248 meals. In addition, we collected several carts of food that was donated to the Utah Food Bank. This effort helped support many families in the community experiencing food insecurity during the holiday season. Your generous contributions are appreciated. Thank you to Mr. Craner for organizing this annual event.

The Winter Wonderland holiday gift giving initiative is underway. Thank you for your contributions for Emerson families in need. Amazon orders are being submitted and gifts are being delivered to homes. Thank you to our counselor Zoe Romero and Linda Caywood in the office for organizing this endeavor. The generosity of the Emerson community never ceases to amaze me.

Emerson is beginning the planning process for providing in-person instruction as an option for our students beginning January 25. Currently, we are gathering information from teachers and families that is critical to this planning process. We are working with the Emerson school improvement council (SIC) and school community council (SCC) to provide input to as we develop a plan for student re-entry to school. As information becomes available, it will be communicated to you via school messenger. Thank you for your patience as we work through this complex undertaking.

Wishing our students, families, faculty, and staff a joyful, relaxing, and safe holiday season

Ms. Reynolds (April.Reynolds@slcschools.org)

Superintendent Search Community Survey

What qualities do you want to see in our new Superintendent? Now's your chance to tell us here.

PTA Information

Emerson PTA

The main function of our PTA is to support the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences for the children. We also provide those 'little extras' that make the school year memorable, such as the Dia de los Muertos school festival, family STEM Night, family movie nights, the school carnival, spirit wear and yearbooks.

We work to bring the communities of school and home closer together. It makes sense for families to be involved in the life of their child’s school.

The PTA is run by a committee who are all volunteers. Each class has a Room Parent to help the PTA communicate with Emerson families. We also have volunteers who manage different events and activities during the school year. PTA meetings are attended by the board, volunteers, teachers, Room Parents, and anyone else who wants to come!  

The PTA is made up of parents, carers, friends and allies – just like you! Click a button below to learn more!

ELP Testing

 

The Salt Lake City School District's elementary Extended Learning Program (ELP) provides gifted educational services for identified gifted and high ability Kindergarten through grade eight students. As part of the eligibility identification process for the 2020-21 school year, parents of pre-k through grade seven students may choose to have their child evaluated. This evaluation consists of both cognitive and academic assessments.

Students qualifying for a Magnet ELP placement have shown that they need an academic program that allows them to move more quickly, work with more complex concepts, and delve more deeply into academic content.
ELP services are available at all district elementary schools, with full-day Magnet classes at Emerson (dual immersion), Hawthorne, and Whittier Elementary schools. Testing is for the program, not a specific school. Parents of eligible students may make a first, second, and third choice of school, but placement at a specific school is not guaranteed.

Please apply online on the ELP district website, You may contact Anneli Segura, ELP Administrative Assistant, at 801-578-8573.

Applications for the Extended Learning Program  (ELP) assessments are now open.

Assessments in the 2020-2021 school year are for eligibility in the 2021-2022 school year.

DAY CARES SERVING EMERSON

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.

After-School Program

after school

Registration Opens:

  • July 20, 2020 at 7:00 a.m.
    • Due to parental feedback and the uncertainty of COVID-19 we will not have a student wait list for the Community Education After School Program this year. Families need to be able to make plans about day care needs as soon as possible and Community Education wants to be responsive to those needs.  Therefore, patents will receive a confirmation email within three (3) business days upon submitting their after-school program application informing parents whether their student was accepted or not accepted into the Community Education After-School Program.
    • Once a program is full, families will no longer have the ability to enroll in Community Education’s After School Program for that specific site. If the program has room again the school administrator and site coordinator will inform families of availability.
    • The Community Education After-School Program fees are due on the 1st of each month. The first tuition bill is due September 1, 2020.
    • Herehttps://slcsd-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/personal/liz_gonzalez_slcschools_org/Documents/Fee%20Waiver?csf=1&web=1&e=sGNCqo is the link for all the fee waiver information from USBEhttps://www.schools.utah.gov/schoolfees

As new developments arise, I will keep you informed as soon as possible through our website where we will guide parents to seek general information about Community Education’s After School Program.  If you have questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (801) 578-8275 or my Administrative Secretary, Maxine Gilmore at maxine.gilmore@slcschools.org.

Eureka Math

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.
