ILLINOIS 5ESSENTIALS SURVEY ENDS 3/11: It’s that time of year again and we want your input!

Please CLICK HERE to take the parent survey. It is open now through March 11.

If you have any questions about the survey, please contact 5Essentials Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or 5essentials@uchicago.edu.
