Message from the Principal
Dear Kimball Hill Families,
As a reminder, there is no school tomorrow, Friday, April 15th. Have a wonderful day off!
I wanted to provide some information and kindly ask for your help. It has been brought to our attention that there are several Tik Tok accounts that share photos and videos of students and spread rumors about the school. While this may not be applicable for our very young students, we do see children as young as 2nd grade on Social Media; therefore we are writing to all parents/guardians to use this as a learning opportunity for our school community.
Spreading rumors, misinformation, photos or videos of others without their consent, or any form of bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We ask that you please talk with your child regarding cell phone use and safety and privacy when talking with others online. We have included some resources below that may be helpful during that discussion.
Resources for Parents:
Additional topics and information can be found on https://www.commonsensemedia.org/
I would also like to remind students and families that cell phone use and use of Apple watches is prohibited during the school day. Please remind your child to go to the office if they need to call home. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against students who do not follow district policies.
We appreciate your support and partnership in keeping our students safe in school and online.
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera

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.
LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION?
View the recorded CCSD15 Parent University sponsored registration webinar. For written registration instructions, please watch our Campus Parent - An Introduction.
In the event that a family is unable to provide any needed documentation because of a temporary living situation, please contact Julie O'Hara, 847-963-3210, oharaj@ccsd15.net; or Min Goodwin, 847-963-3209, goodwinm@ccsd15.net, in the Superintendent's Office.
