Peterson's News
2/5-2/9
Good evening,
Thank you to everyone for having the Car Line sign in the window; it has made such a difference! We will continue to use the practice for the rest of the year.
I have had some families reach out to me regarding the speed that drivers are using around school. Please be mindful of how fast you're going! Remember if you see any of unsafe driving practices, you are welcome to submit an online report to the police. I've included the link below.
We have many PTA events this week as well as some that are coming up! Please make sure you read below.
Looking forward to another great week ahead!!!
Best,
Alli
5Essentials Survey
Parents across Illinois once again have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of your child’s school as it relates to the important elements of school effectiveness. On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey is administered online by the University of Chicago. All survey responses will be kept confidential. The state will provide survey results for individual schools only if a school has at least 20 percent of parents take the survey. If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school. 1. Visit 5Essentials Survey Link 2. Type and select “Dupage” as "County." (The county is the location of the school district's main office.) 3. Type your school's name into the "School" field and select your school.
To take this short survey:
