5 Essentials Parent Survey
District 303 participates in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey, which collects feedback from our students (4th and 5th graders), teachers, and parents. The feedback is an important component of the school improvement process, so I hope you take a moment to share your thinking about your child’s experiences at Munhall. The survey window is currently open and closes on March 22, 2022. We currently have 66 parents who have completed the survey! Thank you!!
Below is a variety of helpful links regarding the 5Essentials Survey, including a link to the login page for parents:

We are hopeful you can join us on February 15!

Friendship Parties
Our students will embrace the concept of friendship, kindness, and community during our Friendship Parties on Monday, February 14th. Room parents will work with classroom teachers regarding the timing of the parties. As a reminder, no food should be brought into classrooms for parties, including as part of a Goodie Bag. In addition, all parent volunteers need to show proof of being fully vaccinated, or submit a negative COVID-19 tests within 72 hours of the party date.
Have a great weekend!
