   December,   2016 

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.

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. El Estudio 5Essentials de Illinois, se conducirá el 5 de diciembre hasta el 16 de enero de 2017. Para tomar la encuesta visite https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ y seleccione la encuesta propia para empezar. Para más información sobre el ‘Illinois Estudio 5Essentials’, o para ver los informes de pasado, visite https://illinois.5-essentials.org. Attemente: Sincerely, Paul Louis - Assistant Superintendent of Teaching, Learning and Assessment
