Pratt Achievers
Emily M. Johnson | East Side Neighborhood Services 612-668-1120 | EJohnson@esns.org Hello students and parents! My name is Emily Johnson, and I am the coordinator for Pratt Achievers and Urban 4H. This is my second year at Pratt, and my five year anniversary with East Side Neighborhood Services as a youth work professional. Previous to my time at Pratt, I worked for East Side as an assistant youth worker in the after school program at Luxton Park. Because of my experiences, I am familiar with the neighborhood and many Pratt students. When I’m not at Pratt, I am continuing my own education in Social Work at St. Catherine University. I live in Saint Paul with my husband and my kitty Tillie.

Pratt Achievers Helps All Students Succeed
In case you aren’t familiar with what Pratt Achievers is, here’s a brief run-down. Students are referred to Pratt Achievers if their teacher thinks it would be a good idea for the student to have a little extra help with reading and/or math after school. Not only does Pratt Achievers help with that, but it also gives students the opportunity to receive one on one and small group tutoring with University of Minnesota students, Y-Tutors, licensed teachers, and a small class size. Our goal is to help all students become at or above grade level by the end of the year. We do this by teaching lessons that are fun, engaging, and targeted at each student’s grade level.
New Opportunities!
New curriculums will be utilized for all students. Kindergarteners, First, and Second graders will use Number Worlds and Mathalicious for math, and Fluency First and Reader’s Theater for literacy. Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders will use Number Worlds and First in Math for math, and reader’s theater for reading. These students will also get to participate in E-Mentoring with Hormel Foods and the Young Inventor’s Fair in literacy.
Reminders Regular attendance is very important. Please call Emily if your child will be absent from the program. If we do not receive a call or a note, we must keep your child after school. If a child consistently misses program, we will give his or her spot to someone on the waiting list.
