Dear Emlen School Families,
Please note that Daily attendance is taken and lateness is noted starting at 8:20 am. Absence notes are mandatory and must be submitted within (3) days of the absence. Coming to school EVERY DAY is key to your child’s academic success. We remain committed to aligning student work to grade level Common Core standards, providing feedback, enhancing our communication with students and families on academic progress and addressing any concerns that may arise in a timely fashion.
As we continue to ensure the safety of all students and staff, we will follow the CDC Guidelines outlined for COVID-19. Visitors will be limited as we continue to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We ask that parents/ guardians please be sure to send in student lunches, book bags and projects with your child in the morning in order to limit classroom disruptions to your child’s academic learning. Please read here for our updated early dismissal policy. Students and staff will be required to wear masks in school when directed based upon Health and Safety Guidelines. Our goal is to keep our students, families and staff healthy so that schools and classrooms can remain open and safe throughout the entire school year. Please be sure that the office has your most up to date information on file so that your student’s teacher can be in contact with you if necessary. If you know a child who will turn 5 before September 1, 2023 please join us for our Emlen Open House March 7, 2023. Classroom Visits will be from 8:45 am-9:30 am and the teachers will be available to speak with you from 9:30-10am.
We ask that if your child is fully vaccinated, please send a copy of their vaccine card to the school nurse or teacher to be included in their health profile.
