Learning Environment
Ambiente Educativo
Emerson promotes a positive learning environment for students through a variety of programs and practices. One such program is the PBIS expectations for positive behavior. Exemplary behavior is recognized with positive comments, awards, stickers, public recognition, reward time at the counseling center, and a mention in the school newsletter
Students are honored at recognition assemblies, which are attended by students and families. Counselors provide opportunities for students to learn good work habits, develop problem-solving skills, resolve conflicts, and enhance self-esteem. In addition to the district's Facts for Parents handbook, Emerson has a parent-student handbook that is sent to parents every September. Our counselors provide classroom lessons to promote respect and collaboration among our students.
