5Essentials Survey
Dear Sorrick Families,
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey provides an opportunity for parents, students, and staff to share specific information about their school. The survey information is part of the school report card. In NPD117, we use this information in our continuous improvement process.
If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school. The parent survey is available in both English and Spanish, and only takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. This survey will be available until February 14, 2020.
To take this short survey:
- Visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/
- Type and select “Cook” as "County."
- Type your child’s school name into the "School" field and select your school.
Thank you in advance for your input!
Your partner in education,
Natalie Profita
Principal of Sorrick School
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Please note that parents of kindergarten and first grade students with two teachers (an ELA teacher and a Math teacher) will only need to sign up for a conference with the ELA teacher. Math teachers will join in these conferences at the selected date and time.
If your child sees a specialist (Speech & Language Pathologist, Social Worker, Reading Specialist, etc.) you will also have the opportunity to sign up for a conference time to meet with these staff members. If you have any questions about parent-teacher conferences, please contact your child's teacher or the Sorrick office at 708-233-8200.
