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.

You'll need your student's 6-digit ID number from Infinite Campus.

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!

Subject: Friendly Reminder: Complete Your Student's ISP Intake Form — First Day of School is Almost Here!
Dear Kimball Jr/Sr HS Families,
Thank you to everyone who has already sat down with their student to complete the ISP Intake Form — we've received 62 so far, and it's been wonderful to see students and parents engaging with this process together.
With the first day of school just 20 days away, we're getting everything ready for your students' return — including pairing each student with an adviser for our new advising program. We're hoping to arrange a time on the first day of school for students to meet with their advisers, but to do that, we need every student's intake form completed first. Your student's plan can't be built without it.
If you haven't had a chance yet, please set aside 20–30 minutes to complete the intake form with your student by Friday, August 7. That gives us time to build each plan and match students with their advisers before school begins.
Here's what you need:
The intake form link: https://isp-student-success.onrender.com/#/intake
Your student's ID number (a 6-digit number found in Infinite Campus) — email me at dreader@kpslonghorns.org if you need help locating it.
The original message with full details about the program is attached/linked here: https://www.kpslonghorns.org/article/3035782.
If you started the form but didn't finish, no worries — just re-enter your student's ID number and you'll pick up right where you left off. Your answers are saved automatically.
If you have any questions or run into any trouble, please reach out. We're excited to get this program off the ground, and every completed intake brings us closer to having every student paired and ready on day one.
Thank you for partnering with us — we can't wait to welcome your students back in just a few weeks.
Sincerely,
Danielle Reader, Principal
Kimball Jr/Sr HS
