Illinois 5Essentials Survey now open: Parent/guardian participation strongly encouraged

District 88 parents/guardians are invited to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, which is now open! This research-based survey helps identify strengths and areas for improvement in a school’s learning environment and provides stakeholders with a voice in improving their schools.

The survey provides a comprehensive picture of a school’s organizational culture in an individualized report measuring five “essentials” critical for school success. Those are:

• Effective Leaders
• Collaborative Teachers
• Involved Families
• Supportive Environment
• Ambitious Instruction

District 88 truly values receiving feedback, and no individual survey response will be shared. The goal is to gather a variety of input to ensure the district continues to accomplish its mission of working for the continuous improvement of student achievement. Parent/guardian participation also will impact each school’s performance on the Illinois Report Card.

Parents/guardians are encouraged to complete the survey before the March 31 deadline. To take the survey in English or in Spanish, go to https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois.
