A Moment With Mrs. O'Donnell
Dear Attea Families,
A majority of Attea students have completed the 5Essentials Survey during SEL this week. We appreciate them share their thoughts on their experience at Attea. We will be following up with any student that did not complete the survey yet or were absent, as every student will need to complete the survey.
It would be greatly appreciated if parents would consider helping Attea gather your input as well in the 5Essentials Survey. The parent response rate is only 5%! We need 20% for our school to receive results. It is my hope all our parents will complete the survey for Attea to use the responses to help us reflect on areas of strengths and understand better areas for improvement and growth. We consider this data to be vital to celebrate our successes and set goals based on your feedback! We are only seeing a raise in our parent participation increasing by 1% weekly. The Attea community values your support and partnership! Parents we need your voice! Please click on the link below get started.
Trimester 3 is coming to a close on March 10th. Please make sure to log into PowerSchool to check on any assignments that need to be submitted for students to complete work that has been assigned. Our LRC is open every morning before school and after school on Monday-Thursday to provide a space for the student to complete school work.
Our staff looks forward to connecting with students and parents on Friday, March 3rd, for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Please make sure to make your appointment to connect with staff. If you missed the sign up window please contact the teacher who emailed you with conference information.
And don't forget to browse our Winter BOOK Fair! Our students are proud to share their accomplishments and would happily select a book to read to celebrate their learning success!
Go Flyers!
Mrs. O’Donnell
Principal

2022-23 Illinois 5Essentials Survey
Have you taken the 5Essentials Parent Survey yet?
Your input on this statewide survey -- given to parents of all students throughout the state of Illinois -- allows us to help us improve our schools for our students. As a parent, taking the survey will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness. The statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey is administered for the Illinois State Board of Education 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 shows that schools strong on at least 3 of the 5Essentials are 10 times more likely to improve student outcomes.
Please click here to take the parent survey. We ask that you take the survey for each school in which you have a child. We will be pleasantly persistent in the coming weeks as we hope to reach 100% participation before the survey closes on March 31, 2023. We plan to use the results of this year's survey to give us a clear picture of our schools' climate and culture. If at least 20% of parents participate in the survey, a parent supplement report will be generated and we will share these results with the community.
