During the fourth quarter, KSD 140 is offering families the choice between a full day in-person learning model and a remote learning model. Please consider which option works best for your family and complete one survey for each K-8 student in your household by noon on Friday, February 19th.
Please click here to complete a Fourth Quarter Student Learning Commitment form for your student(s)
Our updated Back-to-School plan, including learning model descriptions, summaries, frequently asked questions, and detailed plan components can be found below.
Student schedules and transportation information based on learning choice selection and staffing needs will be released to families by the end third quarter.
Please email us at Contact KSD 140 or reach out to your building principal with any questions.
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.
Thanks for your support!
