It's Crunch Time Parents!!
Currently, only 12% of our parents (62/573) have responded to the survey. Some schools (May Whitney!) in our district have already reached the 20% benchmark to receive results.
We need at least another 114 people to respond. Each parent can take the survey AND they can take it more than once if they have students in different buildings or grade levels in the same building, since responses may vary depending on the student and/or grade level.
The survey only takes 5-6 minutes and offers helpful feedback. Visit the Illinois State Board of Education website and select the language. The due date is 2/15!
Congrats To Our Winning Classes So Far:
September - Ms. Fitzgerald
October - Ms. Brizzee (pictured below!)
November - Mrs. Littell
December - Mr. Spencer
Keeping clipping and feeding our fox!!
Make Sure to Bundle Up!
