Mission: Challenge, inspire, and empower each learner to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally – today, tomorrow, and always.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Once again we are conducting two parent surveys during the spring semester. We hope to hear your voice through both of these surveys!
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey is now open and will close on March 13, 2015. This is a survey being conducted across Illinois and may accessed at https://survey.5-essentials.
After March 13, the Center Cass District 66 Parent Survey will be open. A separate email will be sent to you at that time with the survey link.
The differences between the two surveys are the Center Cass 66 Parent Survey focuses on district-level improvement and was created by our own staff, while the Illinois 5Essentials focuses on school-level improvement and was developed by the State of Illinois.
All responses for both surveys are completely anonymous.
We need to have over 30% parent participation on the 5Essentials Parent Survey in order to receive results back from the state.
When completing the 5Essentials Survey, if you have more than one (1) child and they attend different schools, you may choose to complete the survey for each school.
This survey should take you 20 minutes or less to complete.
Thank you advance for your participation!
Sincerely,
Tim Arnold
Superintendent
