Information for Parents
Fire and Other Emergency Procedures
In the event of an emergency, an alarm will sound. During this alarm, absolute silence is necessary so that everyone can hear and obey orders. Each classroom teacher will give specific instructions either to evacuate the building or to go to a designated area of the classroom or hallway. The alternate evacuation site for Gissom will be the Tinley Park Recreation Center, if emergency oficials require us to vacate the campus.
AHERA Public Notification
Based upon the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) requirements, it is the responsibility of Kirby School District 140 to inform each parent/guardian that our asbestos management plans are available for review.
Asbestos Management Plans, six-month inspections, three-year re-inspections, and past abatement projects that have occurred during the summertime or on an emergency basis are available for your review at the District Office.
Report Cards
Report cards are issued at the end of each quarter. This evaluation of the student's progress takes into account individual characteristics, abilities, and effort. If parents or students have questions about a report card grade, please contact the classroom teacher for clarification.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
After the end of the first marking period, a parent/teacher conference will be scheduled as needed. At other times throughout the year, conferences may be arranged between parents and teachers. Consult your child's teacher for a mutually convenient time.
Our core subject-area teachers work within teaching teams. Conferences can be made with the entire teaching team or with specific teachers. Request your child's team leader only if he or she plays a role in the concern you have at the time for your child.
