5Essentials Survey
Bloomingdale SD13 participates in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey that collects feedback from our students, teachers, and parents. Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on important elements of school effectiveness. The responses will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide our improvement efforts. All responses are confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
The Parent Survey is currently open and will remain so through March 11, 2022. To take the survey, please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey.
All Bloomingdale SD13 teachers, as well as students in 4th - 8th grade, are being asked to complete this survey. 5Essentials Reports will be generated for schools if their teachers and/or students meet the response rate threshold of 50 percent. Teachers will work with students to assist them with logging in and taking the student survey.
On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey is 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
We value your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your input.
For more information about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact 5Essentials Client Services at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.

SEL @ DuJardin
SEL @ DuJardin: During the month of January, all grade levels will focus on emotions SELF-AWARENESS and regulation strategies SELF-MANAGEMENT. All students will be introduced to the Zones of Regulation & strategies to ensure we stay calm and in control of our emotions throughout the day. Understanding & Regulating emotions is important if we want to #LeadLikeAJaguar. All of us will encounter NOT-OK situations in our lives and will need strategies/techniques to stay calm in order to make respectful and responsible decisions.
What are the Zones of Regulation: The Zones of Regulation categorizes all the different emotions/feelings into four concrete colored zones.
The Red Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with anger, rage, devastation, or terror when in the Red Zone.
The Yellow Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, the wiggles, or nervousness when in the Yellow Zone.
The Green Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with being happy, focused, content, or ready to learn. This is the zone where optimal learning occurs.
The Blue Zone: Thoughts and feelings associated with being sad, tired, sick, or bored.
Regulation Strategy/Tip of the Week: Color My Mood
