welcome_1Welcome to Eminence Elementary School. The faculty and staff join me in saying we are happy to have you as part of the Eminence Elementary family. We hope this will be a successful and satisfying year for you. The staff at the elementary was very busy this summer with preparations for this school year and we are ready for a great start.

We are excited about Reading First and the opportunity it has given our school for resources to teach reading. While there are no quick solutions for optimizing reading achievement, through Reading First, our students will learn skills that will provide the basis for sound instruction that can and will prevent reading failure. The reading program at Eminence Elementary School will provide a rich, comprehensive program of instruction. Our common goal is that every child will learn to read at levels that meet or exceed grade-level standards.
We feel that open and clear communication between school and home is important to the success of our educational program. The student handbook will serve as a helpful reference to parents as they seek to provide academic support at home. Parents are important and necessary partners in the important job of educating the children of this community. Thank you for your commitment to our partnership.

We welcome your participation and support during the school year and solicit your ACTIVE membership in the PTO. Working together, we will be able to reach our collective and individual goals. We look forward to celebrating with you the achievements of our students.

The type of clothing worn to school helps create an atmosphere conductive to learning. We appreciate the cooperation of all parents as they help their children select appropriate school clothing. We encourage parents to mark outerwear clothing with the child’s name or initials. A lost and found box will be available for claiming missing items. We expect all students to make every effort to present a proper appearance each day.

For example:

  • No vulgar signs, obscene pictures, designs, insignias, badges or writing will be worn on clothing that will distract other students or cause disruption or interference with the operation of the school. No advertisements for alcoholic beverages, tobacco, or illicit drugs will be allowed on clothing.
  • Tops must cover the entire torso. Bare midriffs are not permitted. Tops must have straps on both sides and narrow strapped tops (two fingers or less) are not permitted.
  • Shorts and skirts must extend downward to at least mid-thigh or must meet or extend past the fingertips.
  • Caps, hats, scarves and bandanas may not be worn in the building.
  • Sunglasses must not be worn in the building.
  • Clothing with excessive rips or tears or clothing worn in a manner that reveals undergarments shall not be permitted.
  • Shoes or sandals must be worn at all times.
  • Hair, whatever length, must be well groomed.

In general, students are expected to attire themselves in a manner that reflects good standards of health and safety.
