Albright Parents & Guardians,  Please consider taking our 2022-23 5Essentials Survey to provide anonymous feedback about how we are doing as a school. We value our partnership with our parents and use these survey results to determine areas of focus for future improvement. If you have children at multiple schools, it is suggested that you take the survey for each school individually. The survey will remain open until March 31, 2023 and is linked here: http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/  We appreciate you taking the time to provide this valuable feedback, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email Ms. Aulisa at gaulisa@saltcreek48.org
