Hello, The 5Essentials Survey is now open for parent input. This survey generates valuable data that districts can use to guide their ongoing efforts to improve schools and to offer students an excellent education. The survey is another improvement tool that allows districts and the state to share data as a means to inform parents and community members about the school’s learning environment. The window to complete the 5Essential Survey will close on March 31, 2023. Please use the link below to begin the 5Essential Survey. Thank you.
