Dear Oakwood Parents & Guardians,
We are writing to inform you that during the week of March 6 - 10th, a student survey will be administered at Oakwood CUSD #76 called the Illinois 5EssentiaIs Survey. This is the eleventh year the Illinois State Board of Education will implement this survey across the state for students in grades 4 through 12. This survey is based on 20 years of research at the University of Chicago. It asks students about their experiences in school, giving school leaders critical student voice and input to help develop school improvement plans. Please see the links noted below.
