ILLINOIS 5-ESSENTIALS SURVEY
The 5-Essentials Survey is now open! January 30 - March 29, 2024 the Illinois 5Essential Survey will be open for all 4-12 grade students, parents and teachers to take. The 5Essentials Survey identifies five indicators that lead to improved outcomes for all students, including improved attendance and larger test score gains.
The five indicators that positively affect school success are:
- Effective Leaders
- Collaborative Teachers
- Involved Families
- Supportive Environments
- Ambitious Instruction
Research derived from the Five Essentials for School Success has proven that schools strong on at least three of the 5Essentials are 10 times more likely to improve student outcomes.
This 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. Please look for reminders to take the survey on our website, in your e-mail, and on social media.
AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING
The elementary tutoring expansion project has reached the end of week two. Students in Kindergarten through 3 have worked hard on reading and math interventions while students in grades 4-8 have received homework help from teachers and paraprofessionals.
To prevent burn out, we have decided there will be No Friday Tutoring for Grades K-8 until further notice.
