5 Essentials Survey
Help us meet our goal of 20%🙂
Beginning January 30, 2024 students and teachers across Illinois will have an opportunity to participate in the eleventh annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent/guardian, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child’s school.
Additionally, your district has chosen to provide the optional supplement parent survey. If at least 20 percent of Walsh's parents/guardians complete this survey, a parent report will also be generated. The parent data will not be included on the State Report Card.
You can learn more about taking the survey by viewing the video below.

NEW ATTENDANCE COMMUNICATION
You may have gotten messages similar to the ones pictured below. Walsh has a new attendance communication procedure that notifies parents when their child has been marked absent. You'll get this message for even if you've called your child in, you do not need to call in a second time. You might even get a message congratulating you on a great job of getting your child to school on time!
Walsh remains dedicated to providing your child the best education around. Help us by getting your child to school on time each day.
