EMSD is in session, in-person today.
Good morning EMSD families!
Unfortunately, the district's virtual meeting platform crashed this morning making live instruction virtually impossible. Teachers have uploaded assignments into their Google Classroom or sent it home yesterday. Please have your child complete this work as best as they can and turn it in to their teacher when we return.
We apologize for this situation, and will make sure we are fully operational should another eLearning day be needed in the future. The positive is that this will provide students more time to enjoy this beautiful day by playing in all of this snow!!
Due to the incoming weather event predicted for our area, tomorrow (January 9th) will be an E-Learning Day in the East Moline School District.
