EMSD is in session, in-person today.

Good morning families! Happy snowy E-Learning day! We hope that you are sharing in the excitement with your child…..snowy days are so much fun! A couple of tips and reminders regarding the Google Meets Lessons:
If you were able to join this morning…..we loved seeing you all! If you had difficulty with any of the links, we apologize and are working through the few issues with our tech department. Overall, our troubleshooting has been minor.
Despite the messaging that went out through a district text/email, Early Childhood will still proceed with the afternoon Google Meets (for pm students). If your am student was unable to join and you would like them to hop on the afternoon session to see their teacher, just reach out to the teacher and she can send you a new link.
Do not worry about your child being marked absent if they were unable to join the live lesson….our priority today is having fun, connecting with you if possible, and sharing resources/videos/activities that you can do at home with your child. Do not stress over this :)
If you do plan to join at 1:00 pm, try to hop on a few minutes early so we can troubleshoot any connection issues if needed.
Have a warm, relaxing, fun day with your child and family…..and we wish you well!

Due to the incoming weather event predicted for our area, tomorrow (January 9th) will be an E-Learning Day in the East Moline School District.
