Each year, District 2 administers the Illinois 5Essentials Survey to provide an opportunity for teachers, students, and parents across the District to have a role in improving their schools.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey provides a comprehensive assessment of school organizational culture with actionable reports to help drive school improvement on five "essential" indicators of success:
Between Tuesday, January 30, and Friday, March 29, parents will be asked to take the 15-minute research-based 5Essentials survey to help identify strengths and weaknesses in their school’s climate and learning conditions.
Parents that participate can be entered in a raffle to win a seasonal Family Pool Pass for this summer. Please let your child’s teacher know if you take the survey.
School Start Times
As a reminder, students enter their classrooms at 8:35 AM each morning to begin instruction. If a student enters the office at 8:40 AM, the student is considered tardy. While being a few minutes late to school may not seem like a lot, those minutes add up. Take a look at the table to see how tardies can add up over time and impact your child's overall education by the time they graduate high school!
Spring Attendance Challenges
It is critical that children be at school each day in order to learn and grow to their fullest potential not just academically, but socially and behaviorally as well. As a school, we will be starting a new series of attendance challenges upon returning from spring break. More information will come soon about the specific weekly challenges, including regular updates as to which class in each grade level won the challenge and receives a special reward.
Tioga's Lost and Found is very full! Encourage your child to check the Lost and Found in the cafeteria for any missing items. There are several pieces of clothing, lunchboxes, water bottles, gloves/mittens, scarves, hats, and more! Items that go unclaimed will be donated.
If you haven't already, please clearly label your child's items so that they can be quickly returned to them if they are lost. Some items that are easy to label are lunch boxes, reusable water bottles, and books. You might even consider labeling clothing items if you're able to write a name on the tag!
Bus Lane and Staff Parking Lot Reminders
As a reminder, Tioga's bus lane (front drive off Memorial) and staff parking lot (off Mason) are closed to parent pick-up and drop-off during arrival and dismissal. This is especially important as we have seen a number of families attempt to utilize the bus lane to pick up their children. Not following Tioga's safety procedures creates a less safe environment for pedestrian traffic and slows down the arrival/dismissal process for all families.
Please contact Tioga's main office with any questions.
