About Your Teacher

My name is Emily Schuerger and I will be your academic support teacher for ACOA. I have been working with our district for the last 6 years as a general education teacher in the traditional classroom. Prior to this position, I taught and was an administrator for the Oregon Virtual Academy. In my 25 years of teaching, I have taught grades K-8 virtually and face-to-face, as well as coached multiple different sports for K-12. 

 

I look forward to getting to know you and your family this school year. Please always feel free to contact me with questions and/or concerns. I am here to guide you as you learn to navigate our district online curriculum. I will encourage you to stay on track each week, and I hope to push you to challenge yourself as a learner.

Students - Please use messaging within Edmentum's Courseware dashboards as your first avenue for all academic communications with me. I will also send weekly family email updates. Continue to check and use your school email (students) and personal emails (families) for these weekly communications.

Please reach out with any questions and/or concerns. The best way to contact me is by email at eschuerger@astoriak12.org or by calling 503-325-8990. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
