Dear Families, This year in order to update and refresh student devices, we will be collecting Chromebooks from all students currently enrolled in Kindergarten through 4th grade. We will begin collection on Monday, May 12th and will be collecting the device, charger and stylus. Beginning on May 12th, to help with the collection, students will no longer be able to take the devices home. During the summer, the devices will be cleaned, refreshed, repaired as needed and updated. Please be sure to send the device itself and any accessories (charger, stylus) to school on May 12th. If your child is attending any of the programming hosted by EMSD over the summer, each program will have a set of devices that students will use during that program. If your student will not be in the district next year, please give this information to the teacher. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact us at 309-865-6946. Sincerely, EMSD Department of Technology Services

Coming up with words to describe our pride in Mrs. Torres is a hard task because I am not sure there are words to adequately describe how we feel! There are words to describe her perseverance, her growth mindset, her connection with kids (and their families!), her willingness to think outside the box, the way she implements researched based practices, etc. Litzy is rocking it in all areas of the job. Mrs. Torres' puts her kids first in everything she does and because of this, her students are soaring! The students that are in the care of Mrs. Torres are going to be lifelong learners and successful members of society. We are proud of you, Litzy! Keep up the good work and always, always do what is best for kids!

Friday we had some fun with special visitors at Hillcrest! 🎸Mr. Ebener rocked out a concert for our 2nd Graders! 📕Abbey Breckling came from Chicago to read the first book in her series Charlie's Anatomical Adventures! The Heart to 3rd and 4th graders. "Through the adventures of “Charlie” (a relatable, curious character), children are introduced to various body systems, organs, and functions in a way that’s fun, imaginative, and age-appropriate." You can order here! https://charliesanatomicaladventures.com/cart/ 📖Ms. Catalina from East Moline Public Library did storytime in English and Spanish to the Kindergarten and 1st Graders!
