The Emerald Heights logo features a hawk in flight with text.Good afternoon Emerald Heights Families,Wow — what a week we had at EM! We began state testing this week, and I could not be more proud of our students. Our intermediate students worked hard and truly gave their best effort, and all students did such a wonderful job being respectful, encouraging, and supportive throughout the week.

Younger classes created posters and wrote encouraging notes for the intermediate students who were testing, which was such a great example of the kindness and support our students show one another. We truly have an amazing group of students. I couldn't be more proud. 


Just a few updates for you: 

⏰ Half Day Friday 
Just a reminder that next Friday, 5/22, is a half day for students. There will also be no school on that following Monday, 5/25, in observance of Memorial Day.
