Weekly Update
Dear Sorrick Families,
Today, we honor the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and celebrate the ways he changed the world. His message of, “the time is always right to do what is right” is an important one that we must never forget. Thank you, Dr. King, for continuing to inspire us.
PAWsome Attendance Winning Class
Congratulations to Mrs. Blanchard's AM class for winning the Pac Man "Chase Down Good Attendance" game! They earned the opportunity to throw a pie in my face and had a blast. Check out the video to see Chloe in action:

This is just one of the many rewards that your child can earn by maintaining good attendance, in addition to the proven academic and social-emotional benefits. We appreciate your support!

On Friday, quarter 2 report cards became available to view online. To access your child's report card, you will need a Parent Access account.

Family Survey
North Palos School District 117 is seeking feedback from our families for continuous improvement. Please share your thoughts regarding our efforts to communicate and various events such as parent orientation and family nights/events. We are collecting responses to this survey until Friday, January 24, 2020.
Have a wonderful week.

5Essentials Survey
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey provides an opportunity for parents, students, and staff to share specific information about their school. The survey information is part of the school report card. In NPD117, we use this information in our continuous improvement process.
If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school. The parent survey is available in both English and Spanish, and only takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. This survey will be available until February 14, 2020.
To take this short survey:
- Visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/
- Type and select “Cook” as "County."
- Type your child’s school name into the "School" field and select your school.
Thank you in advance for your input!
