THANKFUL

5Essentials--A GREAT WAY TO GIVE YOUR INPUT!
WE NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN!

Last year, our family participation in the 5Essentials survey beat the state average and got better responses than other local districts! We'll be sharing the 2018-19 data at the November Board of Education meeting and on the D114 website, but now it's time to hear from YOU again!

This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child’s school.
The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains. These five indicators that affect and predict school success are:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative Teachers
Involved Families
Supportive Environments
Ambitious Instruction
These reports will be sent to schools and districts in the spring of 2020 and will also be included in the State School Report Card.
We have chosen to provide the Parent Supplement survey to hear from YOU! If at least 20 percent of our families complete this survey, a parent supplement report will also be generated again!
Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
The Parent Survey Supplement will be conducted from now through January 15, 2020. To take the survey please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin.
Students in grades 4-8 will also have the opportunity to complete a student version of the survey to share their input, as well. 
We’d sure appreciate your input!
