Thank you to those that have taken the Illinois 5Essentials Survey already! There is still time: https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/?target_name=parent Here is Woodland's Parent/Guardian response rate so far: Woodland Primary: 20% Woodland Elementary: 18% Woodland Intermediate: 25% Woodland Middle School: 18% This feedback is very meaningful to us, and we appreciate you helping us reach that 20% threshold! As a reminder, we need to reach a minimum of 20% at each school in order to receive the survey results.
