Dear Husmann Parents & Guardians,
A while back, communication was sent home regarding the 2023 Illinois 5Essentials Survey. If at least 20 percent of families complete the survey, a parent supplement report will be generated for the district. To take the survey, visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin. Families can submit one survey for each child.
Since the survey window closes on 3/31 (while we are all on spring break), we wanted to introduce our plan to boost our completion rate by offering some cool incentives to our students if families complete the survey by Friday, 3/24:
- After completing the survey, a parent/guardian fills out the bottom portion of the flyer and makes sure it comes back to school with their child! (flyer coming home on 2/28)
- Your child will earn 5 Cougar Paws!
- Your child will be entered into a raffle to eat lunch with Mr. Sromek, Mrs. Fitzgerald, and other guests!
- Any class with a 100% completion rate of returned flyer slips will participate in a Connect 4 Tournament with Mr. Sromek & Mrs. Fitzgerald (as soon as possible)!
We value your feedback, so again, thank you for filling out the 5Essentials Parent Survey!
Your Partners in Education,
Mr. Sromek & Ms. Fitzgerald

Sodexo Future Chef Competition
The 2023 Sodexo Future Chef competition will be held Thursday, March 23 at 4 p.m. at Hannah Beardsley Middle School. This year's theme is "a healthy side dish" and District 47 students in 2nd-5th grades are invited to submit recipes to the school via the recipe card linked below! Recipes will be reviewed by Sodexo and two winners from each school will be chosen to participate in the competition. In addition, this year kindergarten and 1st graders are invited to participate in a culinary coloring contest. Coloring sheets will be available at D47 elementary schools by March 1. Students who complete a coloring sheet can return it to their teacher, who will then forward it on to the cafeteria manager to be displayed in the school cafeteria. All recipes and coloring sheets must be submitted to school cafeteria managers by March 10, 2023. See the links below. Questions about Sodexo Future Chef events can be directed to Alicia Taylor-Bey, Sodexo general manager, at ataylorbey@d47.org.

Virtual Parenting Sessions with Jackie Rhew
All District 47 families are invited to attend the final session of a four-part virtual parenting series with Jackie Rhew on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 @ 7pm via Zoom. The topic is Parenting with a Growth Mindset. Parents will learn how to use a growth mindset and help their child step out of their comfort zone, handle disappointment, set healthy boundaries, and increase motivation. These are valuable skills that correlate to engaging and succeeding in the school environment. This approach has proven successful with students who are fearful of failure, as it teaches them how to embrace a ‘bounce back’ mentality. Translation will be available in multiple languages via captioning in Zoom. To learn more and join the meeting via Zoom, visit the D47 website.
2023-24 Online Kindergarten Registration Now Open
District 47’s online kindergarten registration for the 2023-24 school year is now open! Families are encouraged to register now to secure their child's spot. To register, visit the D47 website at https://www.d47.org/kindergarten for step-by-step instructions. Families who submit online kindergarten registration before March 15th will get a free T-shirt for their incoming kindergartener! For any questions about kindergarten registration, please contact student services at the district office at 815-788-5000.
