5Essentials Survey
Share your thoughts to help improve our schools!
D140 students, teachers, and parents will be given the opportunity to have a voice in improving their schools by taking the annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey from February 3 through April 2, 2021.
Please click here to take the parent survey.
These surveys will serve as an opportunity for schools to reflect on progress since the last statewide implementation. School and District leaders use their 5Essentials data to better inform their school improvement plans and help identify key strengths and areas for growth. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
5Essentials Student Survey
Students will take the 5Essentials Survey during their asynchronous time. Hybrid students will be given the information they will need to complete the survey from one of their teachers. Remote students will receive an email with instructions on how to take the survey.
PE & Enrichment Reminder
Just a reminder that for 3rd Quarter, students are required to attend a minimum of two weekly live Zooms for both PE and Enrichment. The schedules are posted below. The schedule varies day to day in order to accommodate all of our students' schedules. Students may attend during their PE, Enrichment, and Independent Study times.
