We couldn't be more excited to welcome our newest teachers and staff members to the Rock Island-Milan School District #41 family!

Monday's district-wide in-service was the perfect way to kick off the new school year, filled with connection, collaboration, and excitement for the year ahead.

To our newest team members: thank you for choosing RIMSD. Your passion, talents, and dedication will make a lasting impact on our scholars, families, and school communities. We can't wait to see all you'll accomplish this year! 👏🍎

What an incredible way to kick off the 2026-2027 school year! ❤️💛

Our district-wide in-service brought Team RIMSD together for a day of learning, collaboration, and inspiration as we prepare to welcome scholars back to our classrooms.

A special thank you to Dr. Sydney Morris, Chief Education Officer of Instruction with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), for delivering an inspiring keynote that challenged us to continue putting scholars at the center of everything we do and to embrace the opportunities ahead.

As we begin a new school year, we are grateful for every member of Team RIMSD whose passion, dedication, and commitment help create meaningful learning experiences for our scholars every day.
