WHITELEY WILDCAT UPDATE
February 28, 2021
CAR DISMISSAL
P.B.I.S. UPDATE
Students receive Whiteley Paws when they display excellent behavior. Students collect and spend their Paws throughout the year to celebrate their personal successes. Many students were able to spend their hard earned paws on fun, tangible and virtual prizes during the monthly Paw store!
In addition, our school met the goal of 90% minor free for the first trimester. We celebrated this accomplishment by having a school-wide bingo game. This trimester students met the goal again! To celebrate student's hard work, primary students will be having a dance party while intermediate students will be celebrating with a staff baby photo Kahoot! This will take place during the beginning of March.
ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR 2021-2022
Kindergarten and new student online registration for the 2021-22 school year is now open! You may register your new student by visiting the registration page on the District website. Many questions about Kindergarten can be answered by reading our “Welcome to Kindergarten!” guide.
Please be aware that new students must show proof of residency and age to complete the registration process. District 15 is also developing a process for verifying residency for existing students as well. When the process is complete, we will share the revised requirements with all families.
Illinois 5Essentials Survey
Each school year, teachers, parents, and older students have an opportunity to share their views and perceptions about their school by participating in the 5Essentials Survey. 5Essentials survey information is a key tool that your school uses to identify and prioritize areas for improvement. As a parent, the 5Essentials survey is an opportunity to share your thoughts on the school's effectiveness.
The 5Essentials Survey will be administered online. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, is anonymous and asks questions about five areas that are related to important student outcomes, including improved attendance and learning. The five areas focused on are:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative Teachers
Involved Families
Supportive Environments
Ambitious Instruction
Your participation in the parent portion of the survey is one important way schools can use parent information to help understand the conditions at your child’s school and focus improvement efforts. The survey is managed by the University of Chicago and the school does not have access to your identity or survey responses.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey window will be open from February 2 until March 5, 2021. Please take the survey by visiting https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin. Your feedback is important as we work to continually grow as a school District.
