Literacy Night
Next Thursday evening on January 23, from 6:00 to 8:00 we will be hosting Literacy Night. This is an exciting event for all Army Trail students and their families to engage with different types of Literacy. We will have literacy with technology, writing campfire stories, art literacy, fishing, reading under the stars, Addison Public Library, DuPage County Forest Preserve, and much more. Everyone that completes the difficult literacy hike through Army Trail will be rewarded with a party featuring hot cocoa, s'mores, and a book fair. Additionally, students that attends will receive an Army Trail branded string bag, a free book, a compass, pizza coupon and a good time while supplies last!
5 Essentials Survey
Students and teachers across Illinois will have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. 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
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.
An email address is not required but you must complete the County (Dupage) and School (Army Trail School 346 Army Trail Blvd) to start the survey.
We are currently at 27% participation, help us meet our goal of 50% Parent Participation!
