Starting February 18, students in grades 4-8, along with teachers and parents across the state, will be invited to participate in the annual Illinois 5Essentials Survey. The survey, administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago, gathers insights to improve school environments.
Student Participation
- Grades 6-8: Survey administered during the school day on February 28.
- Grades 4-5: Survey administered during the school day on March 4.
Students’ identities will remain confidential. Teachers and administrators will only have access to summary-level responses, not individual answers. Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Act (20 U.S.C. § 1232(c)(1)(A)), you have the right to review the survey questions. Sample questions are available on the 5Essentials website. If you DO NOT want your child to participate, please complete the opt-out form before their survey date.
