Our KPS calendar has been updated and is ready to use! Kimball Public Schools is transitioning to Bound as our one-stop calendar for school events and activities.
How to get started:
1️⃣ Open the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
2️⃣ Search for and download the Bound app.
3️⃣ Open the app and search for Kimball.
4️⃣ Follow Kimball Public Schools to view KPS events and activities.
You can view the full Kimball calendar or search for and follow individual sports, activities, and groups. Turn on notifications for the groups you follow to receive schedule changes and important updates!
We are still learning as we go, so we appreciate your patience during this transition. Some extracurricular activities are not listed yet because we are still waiting to receive their schedules. Those events will be added as soon as the information becomes available.
Schedules can be updated directly in Bound, giving families access to the most current information in one convenient place.
You can also view the calendar online at:

Jr/Sr HS Students and Parents - one week until school starts — and we need your help!
We're down to the wire: 85 ISP Intake Forms are in, but we still have 98 to go. If you haven't completed your student's form yet, now is the time!
Each student's Individual Student Plan (ISP) is built from the intake form — it's how we match them with an advisor and plan for their success this year. We're setting aside time during the first day of school for advisors to meet with their advisee groups, but that can only happen if:
Your student's intake form is complete, AND
They've been matched with an advisor
Please complete the form by Wednesday, August 13 so we have time to assign advisors before school starts on Monday, August 17.
Form link: https://isp-student-success.onrender.com/#/intake
You'll need your student's 6-digit ID number from Infinite Campus.

Thank you for helping us get every student set up for a great year!
Winner winner! We had a great turn out for the Kimball-Banner County Fair Swine and Beef shows with our FFA students taking home some great awards that were definitely deserved. These students put in countless hours of work, effort and care for these animals and having the opportunity to present their projects is very enriching for these kids. Allie Cook took home the Grand Champion and Reserve Showman FFA Market Swine Ribbons and Grand Champion Overall Swine, Trey Cook took home the Reserve Champion FFA Market Swine, Reserve Showman FFA Market Swine, Reserve Showman FFA Market Beef and Grand Champion Ultrasound FFA Market Beef Ribbons, Jax Toth took home the Grand Champion Ultrasound FFA Market Swine Ribbon, Aubrey Culek took home the Grand Champion FFA Market Beef Ribbon, and Wyatt Cook took home the Reserve Champion FFA Market Beef Ribbon and Round Robbin Grand Champion Showman for FFA. Please take the time to congratulate these winners and join us in the live auction on Saturday, August 8th at 1:00!
