Extended Day Kindergarten at Emerson in 2011-12!

If you are looking for an all day kindergarten program, look no further than your own home school, Emerson! 
The staff made the decision to extend the traditional half-day program in order to provide increased instruction and differentiation for all students- both for struggling learners, as well as for potential iScholars students. 
Lack of adequate classroom space has previously prevented Emerson from being able to offer a full day program.  K teachers have had to share classroom space with an awkward overlapping time in the middle of the day when both classes were in session. 
The Measure B construction projects have opened up enough space to be able to expand our K program to mirror the same school hours as the first through sixth grade classes.  Computers have been ordered for the K classrooms that will provide additional reading and math practice.   We are allocating extra funds to pay for playground supervisors to watch the students on the playground. 
All day K is coming to Emerson in 2011-12!
