5 Essential Survey
Mundelein High School parents and guardians,
School District 120 is participating with the Illinois State Board of Education in the 2023 statewide survey of school climate and learning conditions. This is your chance to provide input concerning your child’s education. We value your opinions about the operations of Mundelein High School.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey provides a unique opportunity for students, teachers and parents to have a voice in improving their schools. The surveys are available now through Friday, March 31. Please use the following link to complete the survey:
Link to survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/
Opens Jan. 24, 2023 and closes March 31, 2023.
We will take all of your input seriously and use it to continually review and update our current educational practices. Results will never be connected to your child. No individual will be identified in the school reports and teachers and administrators will not see individual responses.
The survey is administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago and provides a comprehensive picture of a school’s organizational culture in an individualized report measuring the five essentials critical for school success:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative teachers
Involved families
Supportive education
Ambitious instruction
The survey results will be sent to District 120 and will be included in the Illinois State School Report Card next fall.
Thanks, in advance, for taking part in this important survey.
Ramadan: From March 22-April 21 our Muslim students are observing Ramadan. Throughout the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast during daytime hours. During the evening hours, the fast is broken with a small meal shared with friends and family. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is a time of spiritual growth and renewal.
