In this edition of the Early Childhood Extra, we would like to give a shout out to Hannah Kupferschmid! Hannah has so much passion for young learners, and she supports families to be active partners in their child's education. She brings fun and engaging opportunities to our program, and is knowledgeable about community resources. Hannah is generous, kind hearted, thoroughly enjoys her work with children, and is always smiling. We are extremely fortunate for your role as our Family Educator Ms. Hannah....we appreciate you! #EMSD37Pride
Good Evening EMSD Families,
We were notified that there has been an issue with the distribution of the P-EBT benefits that were recently announced. We want to assure our families that we (EMSD) have submitted the required information to the Illinois State Board of Education in advance of the deadline and that we have NOT opted out of the assistance program as a district.
Families are being told when they call the State of Illinois hotline that one of the two above reasons are why they have not received their benefit to date. EMSD has done everything that was requested in a timely manner because we understand the impact this can have on our families.
We have submitted help requests with the Illinois State Board of Education to ensure that our information was received and have verified that the data is present in the State of Illinois system. It is unfortunate, but we believe that their system is backlogged. When we know more, we will communicate through district channels.
If you haven't already, please take a moment to fill out our parent survey.

Thank you to all our families and staff who participated in this week's reading initiative. What better way to celebrate reading this weekend than to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and find a new spot to read with your child!
The State of Illinois is approved to provide new Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer Program (P-EBT) benefits to all eligible Illinois students.
