Hunting Ridge Hawk Happenings
March 1, 2023
Welcome
We enjoyed seeing our families at our Open House. This is a time for our students to share aspects of their school day and samples of their work with parents. Thank you to our PTA for the ice cream social that followed the Open House.
Spring is in the air! We are so excited when the sun is shining. We do ask for your help to make sure that kids are still dressed for the weather when we have cold and rainy days. These days tend to impact our morning traffic. Please allow for extra time. Our morning doors close at 8:25 AM. Students should not be dropped off before 8:10 AM. Students arriving after 8:25 AM should enter through Door #1.
Please remember that our parent drop off is on the Mallard side of the building. We cannot have students walking through parking lots as our buses enter and exit. We ask for your continued help keeping our students safe.
We are excited to welcome Rizzie Calderon back as our school nurse. For our current fifth-grade students, please consider scheduling a physical appointment during the summer, at this time, so that our students are ready for sixth-grade.

Your Feedback Is Important!
January 23rd through March 31, 2023, students and teachers in District 15 and across Illinois are asked to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent/guardian, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child’s school.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey gathers data related to five indicators that can be targeted to improve important student outcomes, including attendance and state test score gains. The 5Essentials Survey asks questions about:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative Teachers
Involved Families
Supportive Environments
Ambitious Instruction
All District 15 teachers and 4th through 8th grade students will be asked to take this survey. 5Essentials Reports will be generated for schools if at least 50 percent of the teachers and students complete the survey. We need at least 20 percent of our parents/guardians from your child’s school complete this survey, a parent/guardian supplement will also be generated for the school and is an important source of information from our families.
Your identity and survey responses are completely confidential. The school does not have access to individual survey responses and cannot connect any survey responses to you or your child.
In District 15, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey for students and teachers will be conducted from January 23 to March 31, 2022. You may take the survey between these dates by visiting the 5Essentials Survey website and selecting the appropriate survey to begin.
For more information about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, please visit the Illinois State Board of Education's website.
