Message from Mrs. Bogosian

As you are all aware, our 2009 API score of 877 is an increase of 55 points from our 2008 score.  Recently the Statewide and Similar Schools Rankings were released.  I am extremely proud to announce that we improved from our Statewide Ranking of 7 and our Similar Schools Ranking of 3 to a 9 and 9!  Emblem Eagles continue to “Soar to New Heights!”

 

Recently I have heard the question, “Why continue to support Emblem when it is not my school anymore?” I know that during the next 4 weeks we will all be thinking about the changes that we are facing in the new school year.  Some of us will be remaining with Emblem at Highlands while others are off to experience other schools.  The important thing to concentrate on this last month of school is that we are all Emblem Eagles until June 11^th.  I have always been amazed by the incredible amount of participation and support shown by our families.  When you attend one of our events, you would never know that we are such a small school.  I sincerely hope that our “Little School with the Big Heart” will continue to be just that until the bell rings on the last day of school.  We have some have some fun and exciting events planned to culminate our year including Family Picnic and Field Day.  I know that our Emblem Family will work together and make this last month of school a great experience for our students.  Whether you have been with us for one year or seven, you have all helped to make Emblem such a special school.  Once you have been here you are “Always an Eagle”!

 

Intra-District Transfers

All Intra-District transfer requests (including Bouquet Canyon and Emblem Schools) will be considered final as of June 1, 2010. Students who have requested more than one school and have not selected one will be assigned to their home school area.  Students wishing to return to their home school area after June 1, 2010 may do so based on space availability only.  They may be referred to other schools for the 2010-11 school year if space is unavailable at the requested grade level.
