Illinois 5Essentials Survey
Happy Weekend Spartan Families!
It was a short and smooth week for us as we continue to inch closer to the end of our winter months. This week's message is a quick one...
Please take 5-10 minutes and help us by completing the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey.
According to the Illinois State Board of Education:
The 5Essentials Survey generates valuable data that districts can use to guide their ongoing efforts to improve schools and to offer students an excellent education. The survey is another improvement tool that allows districts and the state to share data as a means to inform parents and community members about the school’s learning environment.
The results of the survey are posted publicly and we use them as a building (and as a District) to build and execute our planning for continuous improvement.
Thank you for your help with this initiative.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. C, Mrs. Zlotnikov and Mrs. Logemann
