Each year, the Illinois State Board of Education provides parents, teachers, and 4th-8th grade students with an opportunity to have their voice heard. The Illinois 5Essentials Survey is a research-based survey to help identify strengths and areas for growth in our schools. The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including: 

  • Effective Leaders 

  • Collaborative Teachers 

  • Involved Families  

  • Supportive Environments  

  • Ambitious Instruction 

We ask our families to please take the Illinois 5Essentials Survey for each school their children attend, linked here, by Friday, March 13th.
