Week of April 1st
Message from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Parents,
We are so excited to welcome back our students on Monday! We have missed seeing their smiling faces at school. We hope everyone had a relaxing break and able to enjoy some extra special quailty time together! As we enter the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment to recognize all the hard work and dedication our students have shown throughout the year. With your continued support, we can ensure they finish strong and make the most of these remaining months. Please take time before we return to celebrate your child's academic accomplishments and remind them of our school expectations, to stay focused on learning and to be respectful, responsible and safe. If there is a conflict brewing, please encourage your child to immediately inform their teacher. By working together, we can ensure a successful, positive finish to the school year. Thank you for your continued partnership and support!
As always, please feel free to reach out to me any time with questions, concerns or feedback.
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera

Summer Offerings
The last day of school this school year is Thursday, May 23, 2024. As we have shared, this summer will be longer than a typical summer break due to construction, interior renovations, and staff moves taking place as part of our Moving 15 Forward initiative.
To that end, the district has worked with local community organizations to pull together some additional summer program offerings available to help bridge the gap our extended summer creates for our families. If you do not see information from a specific community organization, please check out their website for more information.
Rolling Meadows
- The Rolling Meadows Park District is offering a variety of summer camp options for children ages 3-12. The program guide is available on their website (www.rmparks.org). Registration will open on March 12 for Residents and March 19 for Non-Residents. If you have further questions, please contact the Supervisors for the corresponding programs listed below.

Open House and New Family Welcome
As a reminder, we are excited to host our annual Open House on May 2nd from 5:30-6:30pm for all current families. Students will have an opportunity to show their family around their school and families will learn more about what happens during the day in their child’s classroom. You can pop in and out at your convenience as there will not be a teacher led presentation at this event.
New this year, we are excited to offer a New Family Welcome Night on April 17th from 6:00-6:45pm
for our new students who will be attending our school next year. New Family Welcome Night is an optional, additional opportunity for students who will attend a new school in the 2024-2025 school year.
During this event, new students will hear a welcome from the principal followed by self-guided tours and an opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt to find specific locations in the building.

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.
