Emerson Elementary

Good evening. We wanted to let you know that we are opening the doors starting at 7:30 for student drop off. Students will come to the gym and wait to be dismissed to class. Please use the side parking lot, pull up to the steps to drop off your student. If your child needs assistance getting out of the car, please park in a parking spot and walk them to the steps. If you would like, you can utilize the safe sidewalk and let your student off at CA House. They can use the safe sidewalk path to walk to the steps and into the building. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through these changes.

Here are a few announcements for the upcoming week. Spirit Week will take place this week. Monday: Crazy socks day. Tuesday: Team Wear Day (Support your favorite Sports Team) Wednesday: PJ/Comfy Day Thursday: Camo Day Friday: Emerson Spirit Day. Wear your green! For those needing their picture taken or in need of a retake, the photographer will be here on Monday, February 22 for pictures. Make sure your child comes with their iPad charged and a water bottle (that can be refilled using our bottle filling machines). Yearbook orders have started. There is a post on our Facebook page for you to order. Order forms were also sent home (or will be) if you wish to order that way. We look forward to having our first full week with all of our in person students. See you tomorrow!

Emerson's make up picture day will be moved to February 22nd in lieu of the weather that is currently taking place. It will no longer be tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are very excited to be welcoming our students back to Emerson. We have a small list of items that we want to make sure everyone has to be successful for the re-entry. Please have the following items: mask, water bottle, green communication folder, charged iPad, and agendas for grades 3-5. Also, make sure you have a plan in place for transportation to and from school. I encourage everyone to utilize buses to help with traffic flow. However, if you are dropping off and picking up students make sure you are following traffic patterns and being patient. If you need to get out of your vehicle or your child needs some extra time- please park and walk your child to the parking lot steps. Our doors will open at 7:40 and the tardy bell will ring at 8:00. Please reference the re-entry plan on the Wood County Public School page for additional information.

Good Evening. This is a reminder that students with last names L-Z will attend school in-person beginning Tuesday, January 19. We will be utilizing a very similar blended learning format as we did 1st semester. However, by our Governor’s Executive Order, High Schools will not be able to return to in-person learning until we reach the orange status on the WVDDHR daily map. To learn more about our re-entry plan and other learning options you may have, please visit our website at www.woodcountyschoolswv.com . Please stay safe and healthy. Have a wonderful weekend.

Important information for your incoming pre-k student.

Good evening. On January 19, 2021, students will return to in-person instruction in our schools.  However, I fully understand that some students and families are uncomfortable about returning to school in-person.  To provide more opportunities for our students,  WCS is requesting all students wishing to be instructed in an off-campus learning model, outside of our schools for the second semester, complete the form attached in this correspondence or visit the Wood County Schools website for more information.   Depending on the number of students wishing to be instructed off-campus, we may have the ability to offer families and students different choices rather than just the WV Learns- Virtual School program.  Once again, if you wish for your child to be instructed off-campus second semester, please complete the enrollment form.  The form is due by 3:30 p.m. on Friday, January 8, 2021. Thank you and have a great evening.    Click here to complete the form https://tinyurl.com/y5r337nx
