Dear BPS 101 Families, We are reaching out to remind you about the 5Essentials student survey (Grades 4-12) that will be administered at your student’s school. This is the thirteenth year the Illinois State Board of Education will implement this survey across the state. 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 input to help develop school improvement plans. Students’ identities will be completely confidential. Teachers or administrators will never see individual responses to survey questions and will only receive aggregated information, such as the total percentage of students who agree homework assignments help them learn the course material. Please be aware that under the Protection of Pupil Rights Act. 20 U.S.C. Section 1232(c) (1) (A), you have the right to review a copy of the questions asked of your student(s). Survey questions can be found on the UChicago Impact Support Center (https://impactsurveyshelp. If you do not want your student to participate, please contact your child’s classroom teacher. Have a neighbor, family member, yourself or friend who has a student that will be turning five by September 1, 2025, that they are considering entering kindergarten at a BPS101 elementary school for the 2025-2026 school year? Batavia Public School District 101 strongly encourages families of incoming kindergarten students to begin the enrollment process. We are looking for as many registrations entered before we leave for Spring Break. All families who complete the registration process before Spring Break will be cordially invited to an April Kinder Preview event, more information to come. Visit our website to register: bps101.net/ We will continue with weekly Messengers on Fridays throughout the school year. All school messengers can also be found on our News Wall.
