Dear Parent/Guardian,
Our Five Essentials Survey is now open. Parents can participate in the parent survey supplement, part of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey administration. We guarantee that survey responses will never be connected to the identity of you or your child. School reports will only present aggregated information of how parents and students responded as a whole.
A parent survey report will be generated if at least 20 percent of parents/guardians respond to the survey. While the parent data will not be made public, the parent report will be made available to Mr. Matt Maaske, Principal, Mrs. Michelle McClay, Assistant Principal, and Dr. Andrea Guerrero, Superintendent, and will enable them to make considerations based on the responses given by Knoxville CUSD 202 parents/guardians. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at your childโs school and guide improvement. Again, your identity and individual survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
Teachers and fourth through 12th grade students throughout Illinois are taking the 5Essentials Survey. School-level 5Essentials Reports will be generated if teachers and/or students meet their 50 percent response-rate thresholds. These research-based reports will be sent to schools and districts in May and will also be included in the State School Report Card, released statewide in the fall.
Please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ to take the parent survey.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact UChicago Impact Survey Support at 1-866-440-1874 or impact-surveys@uchicago.edu.
Sincerely,
Matt Maaske, KJHS Principal
Michelle McClay, KJHS Assistant Principal
