Back to School Night

When Back to School Night is held during the first week of school, it gives the parents and staff an opportunity to start the year off with a face-to-face meeting.  Students get to tour their parents around their classrooms, showing them where they spend 25% of their day.  At Emerson we have a dinner (I know hot dogs are not really dinner) so that we can build the family atmospere that we hope to have at our school.  We introduce our new teachers to everyone so that you'll be able to make connections with other staff who may be able to help you.  Our PTA also holds an annual meeting which is required to establish a budget for the year.  I always go into each classroom and am excited to hear the teachers explaining the basic procedures of their class.  If you have two children, we ring the bell at 7:30 so that you can go to another classroom presentation as well.  I look forward to seeing you at Back to School Night!
