Eye on Education: FINAL REMINDER – Illinois 5Essentials Survey open through April 2

The Eye on Education section of the newsletter highlights an education-oriented article or topic. The goal is to provide an outside perspective and more information to continue to educate parents/guardians, students, staff members and community members to improve the educational learning environment of District 88.

This week’s topic is the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, a research-based survey that helps identify strengths and weaknesses in a school’s learning environment and provides stakeholders with a voice in improving their schools. Through April 2, District 88 staff members and parents/guardians are invited to complete this information.

  • Teachers received an e-mail with details about how to take the survey.

  • Students took the survey during their physical education class.

  • Parents/guardians can take the survey online at https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois. For questions or more information, contact Addison Trail at 630-628-3300 or Willowbrook at 630-530-3400.

  • Effective Leaders
