This is a reminder to participate in the parent survey supplement, part of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey administration. We guarantee that survey responses will never be connected to the identity of you or your child. School reports will only present aggregated information of how parents and students responded as a whole.
A parent survey report will be generated if at least 20 percent of parents/guardians respond to the survey. While the parent data will not be made public, the parent report will be made available to the Principal and will enable them to make considerations based on the responses given by HSGS/JH parents/guardians. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Again, your identity and individual survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
Teachers and fourth through 12th grade students throughout Illinois are taking the 5Essentials Survey. School-level 5Essentials Reports will be generated if teachers and/or students meet their 50 percent response-rate thresholds. These research-based reports will be sent to schools and districts in May and will also be included in the State School Report Card, released statewide in the fall.
Please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ to take the parent survey.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact UChicago Impact Survey Support at 1-866-440-1874 or impact-surveys@uchicago.edu.

The Marshall County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce a new partnership with the Linked-Autism Safety Project, an innovative program designed to improve interactions between emergency responders and individuals in the autism and special needs communities. This voluntary registration program aims to collect vital information about individuals with autism and special needs to ensure that first responders can provide the best possible assistance during emergencies. Caregivers are invited to register their loved ones either online through the Sheriff's Department website using the attached link or by visiting the Sheriff's office in person to complete a paper form. A paper form will be accessible on the school website and will be sent home with all students. Please note these forms should be returned to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, not the school. All information provided through the linked Program will be kept secure and confidential, accessible only to the Marshall County Sheriff's Deputies and emergency responders. Each registered family will receive a Family Emergency Planning Packet. This program is available at no cost to all Marshall County residents. For any question s or further information, please contact the Marshall County Sheriff's Office.
