IMPORTANT: Family Surveys
The Archdiocese released surveys for families, students, and staff. The surveys were created by the University of Chicago and measure climate, culture, and Catholic identity of schools. The results of the survey will be shared with schools in late May. Schools use the results to plan adjustments, activities, and professional development for the upcoming year. We hope all families take the survey so that we get accurate information for creating a strategic plan for the upcoming year. Small samples of surveys make it difficult to get enough information to get a true picture. Please complete the survey at:
2021 Archdiocese of Chicago Parent Survey
Link to survey: http://survey.5-essentials.org/archchicago/survey/parent/
Opens Feb. 16, 2021 and closes March 26, 2021.
*If at least 50% of our families complete the survey by March 26, students will earn a free out of uniform day on Thursday, April 1.
