5essentials

Each year, the Illinois State Board of Education provides parents, teachers, and 4th-8th grade students with an opportunity to have their voice heard. The Illinois 5Essentials Survey is a research-based survey to help identify strengths and weaknesses in our learning environment. The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including: 


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


We ask our families to please take the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, linked here, by Friday, March 29.
