Parents across Illinois once again have an opportunity to participate in the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of your child’s school as it relates to the important elements of school effectiveness.
On behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey is administered online by the University of Chicago. All survey responses will be kept confidential. The state will provide survey results for individual schools only if a school has at least 20 percent of parents take the survey. If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school.
To take this short survey:
1. Visit 5Essentials Survey Link
2. Type and select “Dupage” as "County." (The county is the location of the school district's main office.)
3. Type your school's name into the "School" field and select your school.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Dr. Pohlmann

Sign up now for the Steck Science Fair which will be held Wednesday, March 20 from 6:00 - 6:30 pm, followed by the hands on Steck STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Night from 6:30 - 8pm!
The Steck Science Fair is a fun night for everyone! All ages are encouraged to participate in a student led science experiment! You can work with a partner or sibling if desired. It's a great chance for students to explore science and put together a poster of their findings. At the fair, science "judges" will come around and ask the student about their project. All projects will receive a participation ribbon, as there is no official judging.
The deadline to register for the science fair is March 13th Don't delay, do so today!
