The annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey is now open and available for families through March 31, 2025. Fremd High School encourages you to participate. Your input will help guide our school’s improvement efforts. The survey assesses the following five components of success:

• Effective leaders

• Collaborative teachers

• Involved families

• Supportive environment

• Ambitious instruction

The survey is in English and Spanish at http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/.

We highly encourage you to participate in this short survey. Note all parents or legal guardians are able to take one survey for every student you have enrolled in our schools.

It is administered by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago on behalf of the Illinois State Board of Education. It is important to us that each student’s family complete this survey, as we are then provided helpful information and feedback for improvement.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact our school’s survey coordinator, Assistant Principal Scott Newmark at 847-755-2618.

Thank you!

All juniors are invited to participate in a full-length practice ACT Test on Thursday, March 20 from 3:00-6:00 in order to give students one last chance to get ready for state testing that will occur on April 15th. Students should sign up HERE to reserve a spot. They will need to bring a charged iPad. Contact Assistant Principal Scott Newmark or Assistant Principal Kevin Farrell with any questions.

Representatives from colleges and universities across the country will be available to talk with students from all District 211 grade levels and their parents or guardians. We encourage students to research colleges/universities through MaiaLearning using their D211 google credentials prior to attending the event.
