5 Essentials Survey

Parents - Your Feedback Is Needed! If at least 20 percent of Kaneland parents complete this survey, a parent supplement report will also be generated. The parent data will not be reported on the State Report Card.

Your participation in the parent portion of the survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Your identity and survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.

The Illinois 5Essentials Survey for students and teachers will be conducted February 18, 2025 through March 28, 2025. The Parent Survey Supplement will be conducted during that same timeframe. To take the survey please visit http://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/survey/parent/  

Here is what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place in our centrally located LRC library . . . 

* All students will create a “Wish List” the week of March 17th – 21st.

* Purchase books during school hours Monday, March 24th through Thursday, March 27th, 4th & 5th grades March 20 - 27.

* Open House on March 27th from 5:00pm – 7:00pm.
  

* HEADPHONES NEEDED * From April 9–16, our 3rd–5th grade students will be taking the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR).  In preparation for the assessment, please make sure your child has a working pair of headphones that can be left at school.  We are asking students to have their headphones left at school over Spring Break so we can come back ready to assess.
