A Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Emerson Elementary School in Marion, Iowa.  Emerson is located on the north end of the Marion Independent School District with a current enrollment of 207 kindergarten through third grade students. Each grade level is divided into two sections with an average of twenty-two students in each class.  The students here enjoy music and physical education programs twice a week and art once a week.  The school also provides a number of remedial, special education and gifted programs for our students.

At Emerson we believe it takes a whole village to educate a child.  The entire staff, community, and especially parents are made to feel welcome, important and responsible for the education of each child.  Our staff believes in teaching to all children. The staff is dedicated and knowledgeable in working with diverse learners.  Our goal is that all children learn to their full potential and that we provide the opportunity for this learning to take place through a hands on and integrated approach to teaching and learning.

The parents and community of Emerson Elementary are highly supportive of the school.  We have many volunteers who come to our building on a regular basis.  Volunteers range from high school students to senior citizens of our community.  They provide tutoring experiences to children, support to the classroom teachers and fund-raising activities to help meet the needs of the school.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Cheryl Toppin
