Message from Mr. Resler:

Willard Elementary School

Welcome to Willard Elementary, the oldest operating elementary school in Illinois (109 years). Willard Elementary is located in the northwestern section of Moline, Illinois, just a mile from the Mississippi River. An enrollment of 247 students and 35 staff all make up a community of learners that contribute to an atmosphere of focused academia and a positive experience for all learners in grades K-6. Willard prides itself on a strong community base that involves students, parents and staff working together to create a common goal: “Empowering All Learners to Succeed in Their World”.

Willard is fortunate to have a staff that is well schooled in best practices for students. Staff members pride themselves on their ability to research and seek out advice to find methods of instruction that will intrigue and build a strong base for learners. Instruction is delivered in various modes at Willard. We offer a full day Kindergarten program and support single graded classrooms at both the primary and intermediate levels. Students receive music, art, physical education, technology, and library instruction as a part of their curriculum. Extra curricular events such as band and orchestra are also supported at the elementary level. This wide variety of instructional methods helps to support our philosophy of differentiation to meet the needs of the individual learner.

Willard has an active parent base. Parents are seen in many roles. Their involvement in PTO coordinated activities; classroom activities, as well as, supporting staff with strong guidance at home, are all very much appreciated. Willard PTO coordinates events and sponsors projects that relate to and support student learning. PTO meetings are open to all and we encourage anyone to attend to give input. Parents make our school a successful environment where students see the importance of education from all adults around them.

We believe students can become more successful if they believe and respect their own talents, as well as, those of others. As a dedicated staff, we will be continuing our job of instilling in students the theme of understanding the core values, strategic design, and putting them in action as good citizens. I look forward to another great year filled with experiences and learning for the Willard community and myself.
