Dear Parents/Guardians/Families:
All parents are encouraged to participate in a brief survey to help Brookwood School District 167 gather valuable data to inform school improvement. The Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey is administered annually by the Illinois State Board of Education. The survey is open now through March 20th, 2024. The survey gathers data related to five (5) indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains.
Prior research in more than 400 schools has shown that schools that were strong on at least three (3) of these “5Essentials” indicators were ten (10) times more likely to improve student learning gains in Math and Reading than those that were weak on three (3) or more Essentials.
Each school needs at least twenty (20) percent parent participation for a data report to be provided for the school. All teachers, and 4th through 12th grade students will be responding to this survey.
5Essentials Reports will be generated for schools. If their teachers and/or students meet the response rate threshold of fifty (50) percent. These reports will be sent to schools and Districts in May and will also be included in the State School Report Card.
The 5Essentials Are:
⤷ Effective Leaders ⤷ Collaborative Teachers ⤷ Involved Families ⤷ Supportive Environment ⤷ Ambitious Instruction
Each school needs a parent response rate of at least 20% to receive a results report. Please complete the survey no later than March 20th, 2024.
