A Note from Mrs. Johansen
Dear Sandburg Families,
The 2nd quarter is at the mid-term and we are back in the routine of school! Please make sure you're checking your child's grades and helping them stay on top of their homework. We have opportunities at school where your child can receive additional help at lunch and after school.
While we strive to teach independence with our students, we appreciate the partnership between home and school. Here is a link to our staff directory for your reference. Don't hesitate to reach out to our staff for help if you need any support!
Thank you for your continued support at Sandburg!
Erika Johansen
Sandburg Principal
American Heart Challenge
We’re launching the American Heart Challenge in PE, and we are so excited! Join our school by signing up to support the American Heart Association. Students can improve their own heart health while helping kids who were born with heart defects and people of all ages with heart disease and stroke. Leading up to our event, we will have health lessons in hands only CPR, heart attack and strokes, vaping, nutrition, and moving more. We will have our wear RED day on Feb 24.
Register online now under our school (Sandburg) Our goal is to get everyone signed up for the free challenge!
Let’s do this!

We want to hear from YOU!
You have been invited to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey. The information you provide will help guide improvement as we strive to inspire each student to realize their potential. Your participation in this survey is voluntary but crucial. We can’t receive results from the survey unless at least 20 percent of parents respond. The more responses parents provide, the more we will know how to focus our efforts toward the improvements you want. Please help us reach our goal by completing the survey.
2023 Illinois Parent Survey
- Link to survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
· Select “Parent Survey.”
· You may enter your email address if you would like to receive confirmation of your submission, but it is not required.
· Then enter “Cook” into the county field and “Carl Sandburg” to find our school. Be sure to select Carl Sandburg Junior High at 2600 Martin Lane in Rolling Meadows.
You will then be asked a series of questions to provide input regarding your family’s experience here at Carl Sandburg. Please remember to click “submit” once you are done so your responses can be counted.
Please know that your identity and responses will be kept confidential and will not be connected with your child. If you have multiple children who attend Lincoln, you may complete one survey for each child. However, only one parent per household may submit a survey for a given child. The survey closes on March 11, so please submit your responses soon!
Thank you in advance for your time and input. We appreciate you!
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.
