It is the time of year when the state of Illinois administers the 5 Essentials survey to parents, students, and staff in all schools in Illinois. Parent feedback is very important to helping us plan for improvements in the East Moline School District, including how we utilize school improvement funds. Please take a moment to participate in this survey to help us improve our schools.
