5 Essentials Survey

The parent survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. You may skip questions you do not wish to answer, but the survey must be completed in one sitting and cannot be retrieved once it is submitted. If you have more than one child enrolled in a building (i.e., two students who attend the same school), you have the option of completing multiple surveys for that building. In addition, if you have children enrolled in multiple schools (i.e., a District 97 elementary school and middle school), you may participate in the survey for each school.

However, only one parent/guardian per household may fill out the survey. Your identity will be kept completely confidential and your responses will not be linked to you. In addition, school-level reports will only be generated if at least 20 percent of our parents/guardians complete the survey, which can be accessed until Friday, February 14, 2020 by visiting http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/. This percentage will be based on the total number of students enrolled at each school.

If we successfully meet this requirement, we will receive our reports in Spring 2020. The results will also be made available to the public via the Illinois School Report Cards, which will be released in the fall.

You can access general information about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey by visiting https://illinois.5-essentials.org/.

Thank you for participating in this important endeavor, and for your continued support of our schools and the children we serve.

Exemplary Rating from State of IL

Congratulations to Mrs. Sullivan, teachers, staff, the PTO and all of our Mustangs on having another year exemplary academically! As Mrs. Sullivan shared, we received, like last year, an exemplary rating from the State of Illinois.

This means that our Mustangs are doing well on their state exams and that there are not large disparities by demographic groups. As you may know, for the last two years the PTO has been working alongside our principals and their team on our School Improvement Plan. We highly encourage you to read the State of Mann documents to understand and support what we are doing together this year to take our efforts to the next level!

Volunteers Needed - Room Parents, Art Appreciation and More!

Did you miss the PTO Volunteer table at Open House last week? It's not too late to get involved and volunteer. Click here to complete a quick survey about where'd you'd be interested in volunteering.

Classroom Parents: Sign up to help other parents in the class plan holiday parties, teacher gifts, class t-shirts and more. The more parents that volunteer in each class means less work for all!

Classroom Art Appreciation: Sign up to lead or help facilitate an art project in your child's classroom. Usually done once a trimester with a date arranged with the class teacher.

Special Events, Fundraising, Green Team and Programming all need volunteers as well. If you have questions, please contact Jacinda Bauman.
