The holidays are over. Daylight is short. It’s cold, and the kids are stuck inside. What’s a parent to do?

Keep Moving

Brookwood

  • Fitness is key to feeling good.
  • Don’t hesitate to dress your children up warm and hustle them outside for a bit.
  • If the weather is too inclement, then take the kids out to a mall for some walking or to a local rec center.
  • Check Groupon for some deals on indoor jumping centers.

Make Sure They’re Eating Properly

Brookwood

  • The holidays are over.
  • Chances are both you, and your kids have overdosed on sweets and treats.
  • That throws off the blood sugar and can lead to swinging moods.
  • Ensure your kids are eating nutritious meals and snacks.

Have Indoor Fun

Brookwood

  • Break out the board games or play any other game that requires conversation.
  • Try your hand at making slime or look online for different experiments you can do with your kids.

Create A Nook

BrookwoodBrookwood

  • Place a chair by a window and encourage reading during the weekend hours when the sun is out.
  • Or, let your kids use their imagination and create a small nook or fort using blankets and sleeping bags.
  • Make sure it’s by a window where the kids can take advantage of the sunlight.

Be Alert

  • Increased crying
  • Fatigue or loss of energy
  • Increased sleep and difficulty waking in the morning
  • Changes in appetite
  • Difficulty concentrating

Brookwood School District 167 relies on parent
feedback when planning for the future.

Dear Parents/Guardians/Families:

We highly encourage you to complete the 5 Essentials Survey for your child’s school. Your feedback matters. We use this feedback to develop school improvement plans and activities to make continuous improvement. The data needs to reflect the voices of our parents in order to address/validate school concerns or support for existing programs.

Your honest responses are confidential and needed to better inform our upcoming goals and strategies we will be implementing for the 2021-2022 school year.

Please share your input through the annual Illinois 5Essentials survey! The survey is administered by UCHICAGO Impact and is based on the Five Essentials for School Success, an evidence-based framework developed by the University of Chicago.

The 5Essentials Are:

⤷ Effective Leaders      ⤷ Collaborative Teachers       ⤷ Involved Families       ⤷ Supportive Environment      ⤷ Ambitious Instruction

Steps To Complete Survey:

The survey takes about 10-15 minutes to complete; 

⤷ Select the necessary language to complete the survey (English or Spanish);
⤷ Enter the name of your county and the name of your child’s school;
⤷ Advance to survey questions;
⤷ Answer all applicable questions;
⤷ Click Submit Survey

Each school needs a parent response rate of at least 20% to receive a results report. Please complete the survey no later than April 2, 2021.

Thank You For Your Participation!

Bethany A. Lindsay, Superintendent

Brookwood
