We are excited to announce that we are resuming summer school registration on Wednesday, March 15 at 9:00 a.m. Please visit our Summer School main page for more information and read below for important info:
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. If I was able to register my student(s) and I received a confirmation email that my registration was successful, is my registration still good for my student(s)?
A. Yes! If you received a confirmation email saying your registration was successful with the classes that you chose for your student(s), then that registration and payment will be honored. Any parent whose initial registration went through should have already received a direct message from the district with more details.
Q. I was able to register my student successfully, but what if there was an error on the schedule I got from RegWerks?
A. If you have questions about the recent email confirmation that you received from RegWerks, please email summerschool@district30.org.
Q. If I was able to register my student(s) but now they want to switch classes, can I make a switch now?
A. At this time, we are holding off on schedule changes as we focus on letting the rest of our in-district families register. We will let families know here in your newsletter when we will accept schedule adjustments.
Q. I am… at work/in a meeting/on a plane/chasing a toddler at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15 Should I be worried that my student is not going to get into the classes they want?
A. Please do not worry. We understand that you take the time to strategically choose classes with your student and we want your student to be in classes that they are genuinely interested in taking over the summer. That being said, if a class is waitlisted, do not fret! We work our magic to help kids get into classes they want to take. It may take some creativity and patience, but the goal is always to get kids into preferred classes.
If you have further questions, contact summerschool@district30.org.

Illinois 5Essentials Survey Runs Through March 31
Students and teachers across Illinois have an opportunity to participate in the 11th annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey through March 31. 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.
On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago. 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.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey for students and teachers runs through March 31. The Parent Survey Supplement will be conducted during that same timeframe. To take the survey, click here or the button below and select the appropriate survey to begin.
For more information about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, or to view previous years’ Reports, please click here. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact UChicago Impact Client Services at 1-866-440-1874 or impact-surveys@uchicago.edu.
Sincerely,
Mr. Sam Kurtz & Ms. Betty Holzkopf
