Ludwig Ledger
March 2023
Dear Ludwig Families,
Please take a moment to review the content in this month's Ludwig Ledger, as there are opportunities to provide parental feedback and there are some upcoming deadlines quickly approaching on the calendar.
Lastly, for those families heading out of town for spring break, I wish you safe travels and an enjoyable trip! If you need anything from Ludwig's main office in the meantime, please don't hesitate to call or email.
Sincerely,
Mr. Kulik
5-Essentials Parent & Student Survey
During the week of March 7th, students in grades 4 and 5 will have the opportunity to take the student version of the 5-Essentials survey in class. This survey, administered online by Chicago Impact at the University of Chicago, generates valuable data that our district can use to guide our ongoing efforts to improve our schools.
If you haven't already done so, as a parent or guardian, please take a moment to complete this year’s parent 5-Essentials SURVEY. In order for Ludwig School to get results, we need at least 20% of our families to complete the survey. This year’s survey closes on March 31, 2023. Thank you for your help and support!

News from the Art Room & Mrs. Jarosz
As part of this year's Variety Show, I will be creating a slideshow presentation to play right before the show. I will select the artwork and ask students if they would like their work to be included. The slides will include a picture of the piece and some basic information about the medium, along with the artist's name and grade level. If your student has artwork created outside of the school, which they would like me to include, you can email me a high resolution photo of the piece at bjarosz@d92.org. The deadline to submit any outside work is Monday, May 1st.
