Dear Avon Parents and Guardians,
The first trimester has come to an end and teachers are busy working on report cards. Report Cards will be
coming home with students on December 15. We hope that you will find the district report informative as it
shows how your child is progressing in a particular subject area.
Please see that attached letter concerning the 5 Essentials Survey. This survey is an opportunity to share
your thoughts on the effectiveness of our school from a parent’s perspective. The survey will be open until
January 16th.
● Cold and Flu season is upon us. In order to keep students and staff healthy please keep a
sick child at home. Children can return to school after they are 24 hours symptom free.
(CCSD 46 Parent Handbook p. 27)
● As we enter Fall and Winter and the weather cools off, please make sure that students are
sent to school with the appropriate jackets, hats, and gloves. We do not have any extra
clothes. Please see the CCSD 46 Parent Handbook p.37 for details on Recess during the
Winter.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Parents, teachers and selected students in Community Consolidated School District 46 will have an opportunity to participate in
the fourth annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey, available in English or Spanish, is designed to generate a
detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts
on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child’s school. On behalf of the Illinois State Board of
Education, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago. The
survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and
larger test score gains. These five indicators that affect and predict school success are:
● Effective Leaders
● Collaborative Teachers
● Involved Families
● Supportive Environments
● Ambitious Instruction
Prior research in more than 400 schools has shown that schools that were strong on at least three of these “5Essential” indicators
were 10 times more likely to improve student learning gains in math and reading than those that were weak on three or more
Essentials.
If at least 20 percent of parents complete this survey for each school, a parent supplement will be generated. The parent data will
not be reported on the State Report Card, but will be used by the district as a measure of continuous improvement. Teachers and
students in grades 68 will be responding to this survey. The information from these surveys will be included in the State School
Report Card. Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school
and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to
you or your child. For parents, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be available between December 5, 2016 to January 16, 2017.
To take the survey please visit https://survey.5essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin.
For students, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be available between December 3, 2016 and December 16, 2016 during school.
This survey should take approximately 25 minutes to complete. Please see the additional information regarding the Student
Survey for more details.

Estimados Padres o Tutores: El Distrito 46 de Grayslake se ha unido con el Consejo Educativo del Estado de Illinois (ISBE por sus siglas en inglés) al invitar a todos los maestros, padres y estudiantes en Illinois la oportunidad de participar en el cuarto año del Estudio 5Essentials. Este Estudio esta diseñado para generar información detallada del funcionamiento interno de la escuela de su hijo. Como un padre, esta oportunidad permitirá que usted comparta sus pensamientos sobre los elementos importantes de la eficacia de la escuela en una encuesta sobre la escuela de su hijo. De parte de la Junta Estatal de Educación de Illinois, el Estudio 5Essentials se administrará en línea por UChicago Impact de la Universidad de Chicago. La encuesta recoge datos relacionados a los cinco indicadores que pueden predecir resultados importantes para estudiantes, incluyendo mejor asistencia y calificaciones en las pruebas. Estos cinco indicadores que afectan y predicen el éxito de las escuelas son:
● Effective Leaders (Lideres Efectivos) ● Collaborative Teachers (Maestros Colaborativos) ● Involved Families (Familias Dedicados) ● Supportive Environments (Ambiente Soportante) ● Ambitious Instruction (Instrucción Ambicioso)
Investigaciones previas en mas de cuatrocientos escuelas, ha demostrado que las escuelas que eran fuertes en por lo menos tres de estos ‘5Essential’ indicadores fueron 10 veces más que probables para mejorar la capacidad de aprendizaje de los alumnos en matemática y lectura. Si por lo menos 20 por ciento de los padres completan esta encuesta, en cada escuela, un reporte suplementario con esta información será generada. Los datos de la encuesta para los padres no será parte de el ‘Boletín de Notas de los Estados. Su participación en la encuesta para los padres nos ayudará a comprender las condiciones en las escuela de su hijo, y esa información se puede usar para mejorar la escuela. Su identidad y sus respuestas se guardaran en forma totalmente confidencial y nunca será conectado a usted o a su hijo.
