A Message from the Principal
It has been so much fun to see our students and staff participate in our ABC celebration! We know there are a lot of special dress days so please feel free to participate in as little or as much as you would like! Today was our school-wide dance celebration! We all had such a blast and learned we have some great dancers!
As a reminder, there is no school on Thursday, May 5th & Friday, May 6th! We hope to see everyone at our Open House on Wednesday, May 4th at 6:00-7:00pm!
On May 13th, we will be practicing our last required Lockdown drill. This will be observed by the Rolling Meadows Police Department. As you know, students have already practiced one earlier in the year and did a fantastic job! If you would like to talk with your child about this, we would greatly appreciate it. We will be reminding students that we are all safe and that we practice drills to prepare in the event of a real emergency.
Lastly, I would like to honor ALL Kimball Hill Staff for Staff Appreciation Week! We have the hardest working, caring staff that give their all, every day for our wonderful students!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera

Parent Survey- Please Read
Our school is partnering with BrightBytes, a data analytics organization built to provide insights into our new and changing learning environments with the goal of ensuring equitable learning support for all students.
Last year, your participation helped us form a more complete picture of how learning is taking place and has allowed us to create targeted initiatives to support our teachers and students. In order to better understand our progress over the past year and identify next steps for our initiatives, we are asking you to provide your perspective around classroom support and resources.
This year’s survey is designed to capture your perspective around your child’s classroom support and resources (e.g., access to technology, instructional support, and student social-emotional competencies).
We are requesting that you take part in this important school survey. Your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy. The survey will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The last day to complete this survey is May 20, 2021. Please respond using the link below:

Our ABC Celebration
Registration for 2022-23
Online student registration for the 2022-23 school year is now open. If you have not already started this process for your student(s), please visit our registration page to start this process.
Registration is the first step in getting ready for the up-coming school year. After you register your child online you need to:
Pay student fees. Our student fee webpage outlines the District’s student fee structure and the three ways fees can be paid.
If you have a student that is starting Kindergarten, entering fourth grade, or entering 7th grade, you are required to prove residency in District 15. Our residency webpage outlines the documents you will need to provide to prove residency.
All three steps of the enrollment process must be completed prior to the start of the school year. Students of families that, when required, do not prove residency, will not be able to attend class in a District 15 until the family’s residency is verified.
