A Message from the Principal
We hope you enjoy the extra days off with your child!
It was great to see so many families at Open House! We hope your visit was a positive experience!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making Teacher Appreciation Week so memorable for our hard working staff! It has been a great honor in my life to serve as Principal at such an amazing school, to support our students and to ensure that they have the best, most positive school experience with high quality learning taking place. We couldn't be this successful without our Kimball Hill staff! I have watched first hand each one of them serve as not only teachers, but to also be a friend, an advocate, a counselor, a helping hand, a guiding force. Each day, these roles change and our staff adapt and make sure our students get whatever it is that they need. I am so proud to work alongside this bunch every day!
A huge shout out to our stellar PTA who has really spoiled everyone this week!
Lastly, I would like to wish a Happy Mothers Day to ALL of our Kimball Hill Moms, Mom figures, Grandmothers and Godmothers! As a Mom of 3, I know what it takes and how hard it is to juggle home, work and school! Being a Mom can be one of the hardest, but most beautiful and rewarding jobs of a lifetime! Wishing you peace on your special day!
Warmly,
Michelle LaCamera

Parent Survey- Please Help
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.

View the recorded CCSD15 Parent University sponsored registration webinar. For written registration instructions, please watch our Campus Parent - An Introduction.
