Meesage from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Parents,
Thank you to all Room Reps that helped create wonderful memories for our students at the Valentine's Day celebrations. Students had such an amazing time and were engaged in such fun filled activities. These are such great added opportunities to build community amongst students and parents!
As a reminder, there is no school for students on Monday or Tuesday. We look forward to seeing all students back to school on Wednesday, February 21st.
As always, please email me any time with questions, concerns or feedback. Thank you for your continued support!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera
Kimball Hill Principal

Drop Off and Pick Up Reminders
Student safety is always our highest priority at Kimball Hill School, so maintaining a safe drop-off and pick-up routine is essential. To support arrival and dismissal times, I continue to be in consultation with the Rolling Meadows Police Department. We greatly appreciate every parent that continues to follow our school drop off and pick up procedures. If you have new family members or friends helping with drop off or pick up, please communicate our procedures. We kindly ask all parents to follow our procedures; as well as traffic laws. Please refrain from using our front and side staff parking lot. When parents utilize these spaces, our staff lose their parking spots.
When we all work together, our arrival and dismissal routines are safe and efficient. Thank you for your continued partnership!

5Essentials Survey
We are now at 8%!
Let's show everyone how amazing Kimball Hill Parents and School is!! Please consider taking this important 5 minute survey to help us understand how our school is performing from a parent perspective. The information we gather from this survey is not only used internally to make improvements to our school culture and climate, but also becomes part of online school ratings and rankings used across a variety of platforms.
If our parent participation level is below 20 percent, we will not receive any parent information from the state regarding this important and valuable data. Parent feedback will also be omitted from our online ratings. Last year, our school had a 19 percent participation rate from parents. We kindly ask that you take five minutes to take the anonymous survey asap. As an incentive, I will add the names of parents who show completion of the survey into a raffle for the chance to win a $20 gift card. Please email me a screenshot after completion.
The survey can accessed by following this link: the 5Essentials Survey website
Registration for 2024-25
Online student registration for the 2024-2025 school year is now open. The year ahead brings many new and exciting initiatives to District 15! One such something new is that this is the first year we will offer FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN for every student. Additionally, many of our schools are undergoing construction which will be completed for the upcoming school year, AND our 6th graders will join their adolescent peers in our newly restructured middle schools.
The first day of school for the 2024-2025 school year is Thursday, September 5 for grades 1-8 and Friday, September 6 for kindergarten and early childhood students.
Please visit our registration page to begin registering your child(ren) for school. Doing so helps us solidify staffing for our schools, allows your child(ren) to be placed on a class list, and allows your child(ren) to ride a bus to and from school. Registration MUST be completed and student fees must be paid by July 1, 2024. With close to 12,000 students to place in a classroom and on bus routes, we ask that you please do your part and register on or before July 1.
