5Essentials Parent Survey: We would like to invite you to provide feedback to assist us in driving our school improvement efforts. The survey is called the 5Essentials Survey, which will help schools and districts identify areas of strength and those in need of support. There is an optional parent survey that goes along with the teacher and student survey. PBL schools will get a report from the parent survey if the school achieves a 20% response rate. We are asking that you please take a few minutes to complete the survey. The survey is located at: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/

On Wednesday, February 7th, administrators from Ford County Schools met with staff from the Champaign-Ford County Regional Office of Education Attendance Improvement Program for a collaborative discussion aimed at improving attendance across our educational institutions. One area all our schools have been discussing is the increase of chronic absenteeism for students in Ford County Schools. Chronic absenteeism is when a student misses 10% of the school year or 17.5 days or more of school in one year.
