Illinois 5Essentials Survey Reminder! 3.08.13



Whittier Elementary and Waukegan Public Schools encourages all parents and guardians to take the Illinois 5Essentials Survey to share their thoughts on important elements of school effectiveness and to help guide school improvement.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey is being administered online on behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education. The survey identifies five indicators that can lead to important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains. The five indicators are effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environments and ambitious instruction.All District parents are encouraged to take this optional survey – whether your child is in a District 60 preschool program, elementary school, middle school or high school. The parent survey is only 26 questions and the state estimates you can complete it in 10 minutes.If parents have more than one child at a school, they should complete only one survey for that school. In addition, only one parent or guardian per household may participate in the survey. Parents with children enrolled in multiple schools may take the survey for each school.If you do not have access to a computer, visit a library or call your child’s school and we can arrange for you to take the survey there. The District has also set aside times for you to come to The Welcome Center (742 W. Greenwood) to if you'd like to take it there.



Parent and Community Partnership Coordinator Tim Kirschner and ELL Parent Educator Vilma Laracuente will be available in the Welcome Center computer lab on the dates and times below. If parents would prefer to make an appointment during business hours, they are asked to contact Mr. Kirschner at 847-360-5511 or Ms. Laracuente at 847-249-6484.
