Meesage from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Parents,
All classes will be celebrating Valentine's Day in the classrooms. We are working with our amazing PTA to plan classroom parties and activities to mark the occasion. A big thank you to every Room Parent that has offered to help on this day. As a reminder, candy, flowers and balloons are not allowed in District 15 schools. If students would like to share valentines, they must do so for the entire classroom. We kindly ask that your child refrain from sharing a gift with select students as this can hurt the feelings of many students.
As always, please email me any time with questions, concerns or feedback.
Thank you for your continued support!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera
Kimball Hill Principal

News from our Art Teacher, Mrs. Sole
I am partnering with the company Art to Remember this year to bring you an opportunity to have your students artwork printed on a keepsake object. A wide variety of different things are available to purchase such as a mug, sketchbook, canvas, key chain, magnet etc. and will be keepsakes that will last a lifetime. A small percentage of sales will come back to the art program to be used to purchase materials used by all KH students. No obligation of course, just an opportunity for those that would like to participate.
Art projects are "in progress" in the art room already. Each student will receive an order form coming to you sometime in early April. Products should be delivered in early May. A wonderful gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day. :)
Additionally, I wanted to let you know that I have been keeping most student artwork and students will be getting their "portfolios" ready to share during Open House. Mr. Morales students will also be participating in the Art to Remember project.
Many thanks for your support!
Artfully Yours,
Mrs. Katie Sole

5Essentials Survey Reminder
We are at 4%! 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.
American Heart Association Kick Off
The students will be learning about how to keep our hearts healthy and helping others along the way. The school is having a fundraiser for the AHA. If you'd like to join forces, please click on the PDF below.
