Each year, District 2 administers the Illinois 5Essentials Survey to provide an opportunity for teachers, students, and parents across the District to have a role in improving their schools.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey provides a comprehensive assessment of school organizational culture with actionable reports to help drive school improvement on five "essential" indicators of success:
Between Tuesday, January 30, and Friday, March 29, parents will be asked to take the 15-minute research-based 5Essentials survey to help identify strengths and weaknesses in their school’s climate and learning conditions.
Parents that participate can be entered in a raffle to win a seasonal Family Pool Pass for this summer. Please let your child’s teacher know if you take the survey.
Attendance Incentive Going Strong
Every day that your child arrives to school on time they will receive an "Attendance Ticket." Students can get a ticket every day during the week. Then every week on Friday, we will pull three names from each grade level to earn a special reward.
Please help your child earn an "Attendance Ticket" by having them come to school ready and on time.

We have noticed that students are bringing many items, such as toys, to school. These items should be kept at home unless your child's class is having a celebration.
There has also been several students using their phones while in school. Phones should be in your child's backpack until they have left school for the day.
