A Message from the Principal

Greetings!

I am very excited to begin another year as Principal at Emma K. Doub this fall. It is a blessing to lead an incredible staff and work with such phenomenal families.  The students at EKD continually amaze me with their grit and tenacity. 

At Emma K Doub, we place an emphasis on learning through relationship building, clarity in expectations, scaffolding learning appropriately, and offering consistent feedback to drive success.  For our Magnet students we offer a unique Computer Science learning opportunity and arts integration throughout the instructional day. All students, Pre-K through fifth grade, regularly contribute and complete projects in a digitally driven environment, focusing on problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and innovation. Students participate in arts integration lessons that combine movement and athletics, music, and the arts with traditional academic disciplines. Our small school enrollment provides for a family atmosphere and a true sense of community. 


At Emma K Doub, it is our vision that all students are successful! We can only achieve that vision if we have a committed partnership with our families. Thanks for valuing your student's education and walking alongside us during your child's educational journey. 

Yours in Education,

Stacy Henson

¡Saludos!

Estoy muy emocionada de comenzar otro año como directora en Emma K. Doub este otoño. Es una bendición liderar un personal increíble y trabajar con familias tan fenomenales.  Los estudiantes de EKD me sorprenden continuamente con su valor y tenacidad. 

En Emma K Doub, ponemos énfasis en el aprendizaje a través de la construcción de relaciones, la claridad en las expectativas, la estructuración adecuada del aprendizaje y la oferta de comentarios consistentes para impulsar el éxito.  Para nuestros estudiantes Magnet ofrecemos una oportunidad única de aprendizaje de Ciencias de la Computación e integración de las artes durante todo el día de instrucción. Todos los estudiantes, desde preescolar hasta quinto grado, contribuyen y completan proyectos regularmente en un entorno impulsado digitalmente, enfocándose en la resolución de problemas, el pensamiento crítico, la creatividad, la colaboración, la comunicación y la innovación. Los estudiantes participan en lecciones de integración artística que combinan movimiento y atletismo, música y artes con disciplinas académicas tradicionales. Nuestra pequeña matrícula escolar proporciona un ambiente familiar y un verdadero sentido de comunidad. 

¡En Emma K Doub, nuestra visión es que todos los estudiantes tengan éxito! Sólo podemos lograr esa visión si tenemos una asociación comprometida con nuestras familias. Gracias por valorar la educación de su hijo y caminar junto a nosotros durante el viaje educativo de su hijo.

About our school

Emma K Doub Elementary School is a PreK through 5th grade community school located in Hagerstown, Maryland with a current enrollment of approximately 385 students. 

EKD is a magnet school and attracts advanced learners from across the county.  Approximately 100 of our students comprise our magnet program which spans grades 2-5.   EKD was recognized as an EGATE school in 2010 for demonstrating Excellence in Gifted and Talented Education from MSDE and has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School from 2013-2022. 

Emma K Doub is a school focused on infusing instructional technology into the curriculum through teaching with engaging tools and resources.  Teachers provide opportunities for all students to learn and demonstrate understanding with tools such as 1:1 Chromebooks, digital photography, 3-D printing, etc.  A Computer Science curriculum is uniquely available to our Magnet students. In addition, our school utilizes an Integrated Arts program where Encore teachers (music, art, physical education, and media) work collaboratively with classroom teachers on developing integrated lessons that help our students learn content through the arts.  

Students at EKD are given the resources they need in order to help them to be successful, whether they need intervention to close instructional gaps, enrichment opportunities, or challenges/support within the classroom.  Students work collaboratively with one another, even across grade levels, as they serve as reading buddies to older/younger students. 

Staff are caring and committed to the success of our students.  Our PTA is supportive and engaged and we welcome our families to take on an active role within our school.

Google Chromebook/Technology 

Emma K. Doub is  completely 1:1 with Google Chromebooks in all grades. We look forward to enhancing and accelerating our learning through the use of these devices.  Staff will send additional information home to families regarding this device roll-out. We look forward to embedding technology into our daily instruction. 

Technology will be further utilized in our magnet programs through the targeted implementation of a Computer Science Program.  Coding will be a large component of this work, and students will engage in multiple modalities of learning through the use of technology.
