Dear Petty Families,

We are currently at a parent response rate of 32% for the 5 Essentials Survey! If we get a response rate of 50% or more, every student at WC Petty will receive extra PBIS points in their PBIS Rewards account.

The information you provide will help guide improvement as we strive to inspire each student to realize their potential through the education and opportunities we provide at WC Petty. Your participation in this survey is voluntary but crucial. We can’t receive results from the survey unless at least 20 percent of parents respond. The more responses parents provide, the more we will know how to focus our efforts toward the improvements you want. Therefore, we have set a goal to reach an 80 percent response rate. Please help us reach our goal by completing the survey.

• Go to: https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/login/ or use the QR code to take the survey.
• Si desea completar la encuesta en español, haga clic aquí.
  
• You may enter your email address if you would like to receive confirmation of your submission, but it is not required.
  
• Then enter “Lake” into the county field and “W C Petty” or "Petty" to find our school.

Respectfully,

Joanna Gerritsen

W.C. Petty Elementary Principal

iPad Concerns

The technology department has seen an increase in headphone plugs breaking off in the iPads. Please help us remind students of the proper way to put headphones in the port and to never transport the iPad with the headphones attached. If the piece breaks off inside, please have your son/daughter report it to the teacher ASAP. The sound will not work with this piece broken off in the port. Please encourage your student to be very careful with the headphone jack.

Also please contact a teacher or the school if your student has misplaced their iPad. The sooner the school knows, the easier they are to find.
