Dear Parent/Guardian,
Parents, teachers and selected students in Community Consolidated School District 46 will have an opportunity to participate in
the sixth 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 a school, a parent supplement will be generated. The parent data will be
used by the district as a measure of continuous improvement. Teachers across the district and students in grades 6-8 will be
responding to this survey. The information from these surveys will be included in the State School Report Card. Fourth and fifth
grade students will participate in a pilot administration of this survey. 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, 2017 through January 18, 2018. To take the survey please visit
https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin.
For students in Grades 4-8, the Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be administered during school. This survey should take
approximately 25 minutes to complete. Please see the additional information regarding the Student Survey for more details.
For more information about the Illinois 5Essentials Survey, or to view previous years’ reports, please visit
https://illinois.5-essentials.org. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact 5Essentials Client Services at
1-866-440-1874 or [email protected].
Sincerely, Paul Louis - Assistant Superintendent of Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Community Consolidated School District 46 will provide an educational environment that maximizes the potential of ALL students to be prepared for life’s opportunities while developing a lasting appreciation for learning.

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 está 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 (Ambientes de apoyo) ● Ambitious Instruction (Instrucción Ambicioso)
Investigaciones previas en más 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.
Los estudiantes de cuarto y quinto grado participarán en una administración piloto de esta encuesta. 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, para los padres estará disponible entre el 5 de diciembre de 2017 y el 18 de enero de 2018. Para tomar la
encuesta visite https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ y seleccione la encuesta propia para empezar.
Para los estudiantes en los grados 4-8, la Encuesta 5Essentials de Illinois se administrará durante la escuela. Esta encuesta debe tomar
aproximadamente 25 minutos para completarse. Por favor, consulte la información adicional sobre la Encuesta para estudiantes para más
detalles.
