5 Essentials Survey - Complete by 3/31
5 Essentials Survey
We are asking for your assistance to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey and help us reach our goal of 80% completion rate. The information you provide will assist us with directing our efforts and guide educational opportunities for students. While your participation is voluntary, it is crucial to access results from the survey. We are unable to access survey results unless a minimum of 20% of parents respond.
The survey is currently open and will close on March 31, 2023. Please know your identity and responses will be kept confidential and will not be connected with your child.
Go to: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/ to take the survey.
You may enter your email address if you would like to receive confirmation of your submission, but it is not required.
Then enter “[DuPage]” into the county field and “Choose Benson, Franzen or Peacock” to find our school.
Once you have filled out the 5 Essentials Survey, you can let us know by filling out the google form located in your school newsletter below. This will assist with students earning an incentive!

Staff Recognition
"I made it a 10" acknowledgments are listed below. Kudos to our staff members who make Itasca 10 an amazing district.
Mrs. Hanczar is an amazing teacher. She pushes the students to achieve curriculum goals and empowers students to problem solve optimal ways to meet the goals. My daughter's confidence as a learner has significantly increased this year and for that I am incredibly thankful. She forms bonds with the kids, so they feel like the classroom is a safe place and a place they are valued. Franzen, 4th Grade.
In addition to this shout out, any parent or community member recognize may a staff member through the nomination form below. Board Salute nominations are reviewed monthly and announced at our Board of Education meetings.
