Beginning January 30 until March 29th, 2024, students and teachers across Illinois will have an opportunity to participate in the eleventh annual statewide Illinois 5Essentials Survey. This survey is designed to generate a detailed picture of the inner workings of our school. As a parent/guardian, this opportunity will allow you to share your thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness in a survey about Kenwood. For a more detailed overview of the 5 Essentials survey please see the link above. You can access the parent portion of the survey at the following web address.
