We are celebrating our amazing Little Panthers for practicing our 3 big school wide expectations: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Helpful. When a student demonstrates one of these behaviors, they receive a special sticker with positive descriptive feedback explaining exactly what they did well. To celebrate their success, the student's photo is then proudly displayed in the bus hallway. Keep up the great work, Little Panthers! We love seeing our ELC students being kind, safe, and helpful!

We have a certified Conscious Discipline coach hosting the training. She will provide parents with tools and techniques to manage their own emotional responses, create a sense of safety and connection, and teach children to understand and regulate their own feelings and behaviors. Since we follow the Conscious Discipline methods at school, this will be a powerful tool to use at home. Please consider joining us! There will also be a great gift basket giveaway!

Dinner and childcare will be provided. RSVP is required to attend the event. Sign-up will close on Dec. 4th.

Please note: The District will also be hosting another workshop on Thursday of that same week. This workshop, on December 9th, will be only for the Early Learning Center families and will be at the Early Learning Center.

Today, on the 11th day of the 11th month, we held a special ceremony to honor our veterans. The East Moline Post 227 Honor Guard joined us for a school-wide assembly, where our youngest learners had the opportunity to show respect to some safekeepers in their community, as well as to the flag of the United States. It is with deep gratitude and respect that we were able to honor our veterans on this day. More pictures/video to come!

Our latest Employee of the Month Award from the Rock Island Regional Office of Education goes to…….Ms Asya Fisher! Ms. Fisher is in her second year of teaching at the East Moline Early Learning Center, with several other years of experience in a smaller school district where she also taught early childhood. As a veteran educator, she truly embodies the ideal qualities of a dedicated and inspiring early childhood educator. The atmosphere in her classroom is consistently one of calm and joyful engagement, a direct reflection of her composed and relationship-centered approach. She has the ability to transform daily experiences into adventures, ensuring that hands-on learning is a celebration of exploration. Her commitment to the profession is evident in the confident, curious, and happy faces of her students, who thrive under her gentle and genuine demeanor. Thank you for embracing a change to join our ELC School Family! #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY

We are back at it with our ROE Employee of the Month Awards! We are so grateful for our partnership with the Rock Island Regional Office of Education to recognize outstanding educators here in our school. Ms. Vallejo is one of our first-year teachers at the East Moline Early Learning Center, but she is not new to the East Moline School District. Last year, she began her teaching career at Wells Elementary in 2nd grade after doing her student teaching with us at the Early Learning Center. BUT….her passion in early childhood called her back to us! Ms. Elena has a natural calming, yet enthusiastic approach that fosters engagement and playful curiosity in a way that is conducive to ALL learners. Ms. Elena intentionally infuses her love of reading into various learning centers in her classroom, planting seeds of long-term literacy at a crucial early age. She masterfully models a calm, regulated state for her students as they learn to manage their emotions. Thank you, Ms. Elena, for bringing your positivity and joy to our Early Learning Center School Family! #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY
