About Emerson's "Where's Waldo" School Directory
We update this every year. For TK/KINDERGARTEN and NEW families: please sign up to be included in Where's Waldo. This is an OPT-IN directory, meaning we only include contact information you give us if you choose to be included. For RETURNING FAMILIES: Please also sign up if you have changes in contact information. Where's Waldo is located here online. A print version will be available by request.

Where’s Waldo is our Directory (online/print) for Emerson families only. Check here and we will upload your contact information for you. 
Image/Photo OPT-OUT: we share updates via our BearFacts online newsletter, and create videos of our events. All students are included but parents/guardians can opt out here and anytime during the year.
PTA Membership: Please join the PTA at the beginning of the school year! Just by joining the PTA you are helping! Participation is not only volunteering  time or giving resources, PTA membership gives you a voice in Association meetings for programming and budgeting. The suggested (but not required) membership fee of $10 per person goes to paying the Emerson PTA dues to the Berkeley PTA Council, the Peralta District PTA and the California PTA.

Calling all COMMUNITY-BUILDERS, CONNECTORS, and those looking to get involved – The Emerson PTA and your grade cohort NEED you! Grade Parents are critical connectors between the PTA, classroom families, and teachers. Please consider signing up. You can find out more about what it means to be a Grade Parent here: https://bit.ly/GradeParents

Volunteering at Emerson

As a PTA, our primary goal is to serve as a bridge between families and their kids' school. We are here to facilitate volunteering opportunities and encourage your involvement in both classroom-specific activities and wider school events. Your active participation will not only strengthen the bond between families, but it will also enrich the educational journey of our students.
I invite you to join our PTA by clicking on this link https://emersonelementary.org/pta-membership

Do you seek the big picture of public education and BUSD? Consider the School Site Council and representing Emerson.

Do you want to directly support and lead Emerson community culture and programs? Join the PTA Board! We are seeking Chairs for Communications, Membership, and Advocacy. Reach out to our President Merlin Edwards:
merlin.edwards2@emersonelementary.org

Maybe you prefer the classroom, helping teachers and students. BSV or Berkeley School Volunteers is for YOU.

If you have more time to participate, consider being a Grade Parent or joining a committee that speaks to you. To find out more, contact our co-VP Krysten Curtis: krysten@emersonelementary,org

And for those who want to donate, start with the Heart of Emerson fundraising campaign which soon will launch officially with funding goals.
