5Essentials Survey
Share your thoughts to help improve our schools! If you have not done so already, please be sure to take the Illinois 5Essentials Parent Survey at https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/
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. We must get a 20% parent response rate for our results to be reported.

School Closure Notification Process:
If Kirby School District 140 needs to close schools due to inclement weather, families will receive notification from SchoolMessenger, our electronic messaging system, and an alert will be posted on our District/School websites. KSD 140 also communicates school closure information through Facebook, Twitter, and the Emergency Closing Center (ECC).
