A special thank you to the East Moline and Silvis communities for partnering with the Silvis Hy-Vee to provide pre-made bags of school supplies for our students. We are deeply grateful for this partnership and appreciate everyone who made it possible!

The very first Kindness Award of the year! Congratulations to this Wildcat. You should be proud.

Hello EMSD Families! All EMSD bus routes have finished transporting our students, and we are safely having a great first day of school. Thank you again to everyone for the flexibility and understanding as we had to make last-minute changes this morning. Schools will dismiss with our planned one-hour early dismissal. Glenview will dismiss at 1:30 p.m., and elementary schools at 2:00 p.m. A quick explanation of our decision-making: EMSD buses began their routes as early as 6:15 a.m. to transport students. As severe weather conditions developed, several buses traveling through the hardest-hit areas had to pause their routes for safety reasons. This pause created delays on subsequent bus routes. Additionally, we wanted to ensure no family felt pressured to compromise on safety to get their child to school on time. We understand these disruptions caused inconvenience for many families today. While safety will always be our top priority, we remain committed to minimizing disruptions whenever possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding today, and we look forward to a successful school year ahead in EMSD!

Due to weather, all bus routes have stopped. All EMSD schools will have a one hour late start and all bus routes will be delayed by one hour. If your child is already on the bus or at school at Glenview they are safe and have stopped in a safe location. Please take necessary actions for safety.

Looks like a thumbs up for a great school year! See you soon Wildcats!

We're looking forward to seeing our students and families this week for Backpack Night!
Due to limited parking at Ridgewood and Glenview, a shuttle bus will be available from Christ United Methodist Church.
