Parent Organization

ESPO (Emerson School Parent Organization)

The Emerson School Parent Organization, more commonly referred to as ESPO (es-poe), is a way for parents to be directly involved in their student’s education. This special organization coordinates events, programs, and fundraisers that directly impact every student’s experience.

ESPO is also the best way for families to connect, stay informed, and have fun together. Meetings allow parents to ask questions and receive regular, in-depth updates from our Head of School. Equally important, ESPO is how parents meet each other and where new families can become part of the greater-Emerson community.

ESPO & Admin Meetings

ESPO meetings are a great way to get involved with the school, learn about volunteer opportunities, and meet other Emerson parents. Each meeting typically features a special guest speaker and a summary of recent happenings from the ESPO Chair. Meetings happen in the AIC with parents arriving around 8:30am and the meeting starting at 8:45am (unless otherwise noted).
