Surveys are discussed

The Illinois State Board of Education notified all school districts last week that the administration window for the annual 5Essentials Survey has been delayed due to technical difficulties. We will email all parents when the link is available so that parents and employees may access and complete this survey.

In addition, District 7 is conducting a communication preferences survey to assist the district in its efforts to efficiently and effectively communicate with parents, employees, and members of the community about school district news and activities.

The link to this survey will be sent with the link to the 5Essentials survey.
