Are you interested in early childhood for your 3 or 4 year old? Start here! Our screening schedules are now open for March, April, and May. Currently enrolled students do not need an updated screening. These screenings are the first step in having your child be considered for enrollment at the East Moline Early Learning Center, and are a great way to check-up on their overall development! Call today to schedule an appointment with Tara in our office!

Hillcrest Families,
I am BLOWN away by the participation in our ST Math Week. As a school family, we earned over 147,000 minutes at Hillcrest alone. The district's goal was 50,000 minutes, and as a building we surpassed that goal. We solved over 57,000 math puzzles! It was a great week having a friendly competition amongst our school family. Our top 5 winners will be announced on Monday. These winners will earn a trip to John Deere Headquarters.
Thank you to John Deere. This week during our lunch hour, we had 5 or more volunteers come help our students solve puzzles. Without their help, we would not have surpassed our goal. To celebrate, John Deere is bringing tractors to Hillcrest for our students to explore. We earned more than enough minutes to "build our tractor". This is going to be an exciting day.
St Math was blown away by our students' progress this week. We had a FUN week filled with learning.
There are many great things happening at Hillcrest. As a principal, I am smiling ear to ear! I am proud to be leading your child's education.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Tapscott
Thank you for a successful BINGO night! We had roughly 150 families and volunteers join us for a fun event. Thank you to our community for donating raffle baskets. A huge thank you to the Hillcrest PTO for the support and generosity they show to our staff and students!
