Message from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Parents,
Thank you to everyone that attended our Family Reading Night. It is always so heartwarming to watch families make memories together through learning. Thank you to our PTA for hosting this engaging and fun event and thank you to all parent and staff volunteers. Please see the attached video below!
I am excited to share that we are currently at a 20% parent completion rate for the 5Essentials survey. While we have hit the state required target, I would really like to hear from more parents and
kindly ask you to complete this important survey if you have not done so already. I will be sharing the name of the raffle winner in my newsletter prior to Spring Break. Thank you to every parent that completed this survey!
Please email me a screenshot after completion if you would like to be added to the raffle.
The survey can accessed by following this link: the 5Essentials Survey website
Lastly, student grades should be available in your parent portal tonight around 5:00pm. If you are unable to log in, please call our office.
As always, please email me any time with questions, concerns or feedback. Thank you for your continued support!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera
Kimball Hill Principal

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.
