The Psychology class made menus for a zombie restaurant. The goal was to make a creative menu that includes parts of the brain in each dish. The description of the dishes shows what each part of the brain is responsible for. Connor Stahlschmidt, Makayla Austin, and Manny Lopez did an excellent job meeting all requirements, see for yourself!

Dear Parents,
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey has officially opened up for students, parents, and teachers. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of your child’s school. As a parent, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about your child’s school.
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey will be administered online by UChicago Impact at the University of Chicago. The survey gathers data related to five indicators that can predict important student outcomes, including improved attendance and larger test score gains. These five indicators that affect and predict school success are:
Effective Leaders
Collaborative Teachers
Involved Families
Supportive Environments
Ambitious Instruction
Prior research in more than 400 schools has shown that schools that were strong on at least three of these “5Essential” indicators were 10 times more likely to improve student learning gains in math and reading than those that were weak on three or more Essentials.
All teachers and 4th through 12th-grade students will be responding to this survey. These reports will be sent to schools and districts in May 2023 and will also be included in the State School Report Card.
If at least 20 percent of Donovan Elementary School, Jr. High School, and Sr. High School parents complete this survey, a parent supplement report will also be generated. The parent data will not be reported on the State Report Card.
Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child. If you have multiple children in the school please take a parent survey for each child.
To take the survey please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/login/ and select the appropriate survey to begin. Thank you!
If your child is interested, forms are due tomorrow! We would love to have as many kiddos as possible. This is such a fun night for everyone!
