September is National Attendance Month! 📚💙

In support of this important initiative, here is the nurse’s perspective on attendance: In order for students to be educated, they must be healthy.

Regular attendance and good health go hand in hand. When students are healthy and present at school, they are better able to learn, grow, and succeed. Let’s work together to support the health and well-being of every student so they can be in school and ready to learn!

A School Health Hub graphic on student attendance stating that attendance is vital, but unhealthy students should stay home. It details reasons to stay home—including vomiting within the last 24 hours, fever higher than 100.4, diarrhea within the last 24 hours, body rash or open body sores, an ER visit or hospital stay, and red, itchy eyes—and notes that a doctor's note may be required to return.

What a fun week in Kindergarten! 📚 We’ve been learning all about nursery rhymes and bringing these famous tales to life! From trying to jump over the candlestick like Jack Be Nimble 🕯️ to tasting cottage cheese like Little Miss Muffet 🧀, we’ve been learning through laughter, movement, and a little bit of silliness! We also drew the main characters and events from It’s Raining, It’s Pouring and Rain, Rain, Go Away! 🌧️ (Don't worry, we weren't singing that one too loud!) You may catch our Kindergarteners reciting some of their favorite nursery rhymes when you see them! 🎵😊

Today was the 3rd day of the 3rd week of 3rd grade in Club H! In our class, we have started an attendance streak and our first goal was to have 100% attendance for 5 school days in a row. Yesterday we reached that goal, and today we celebrated with a bonus recess and are on a 6 day in a row streak of having all our classmate here!! Woohoo! Ms. Hinton is LOVING everything about third grade, especially the playground with all her 3rd grade friends! 😍

Dear Kimball Public Schools Community,

This letter is in reference to a possible threat to the campus received on the evening of September 1, 2026 resulting in an increased law enforcement presence at district facilities today (September 2, 2026). Last evening, Kimball Public Schools was made aware of a possible threat to the safety of our students. School administration and local law enforcement agencies have been working swiftly and diligently to investigate the matter and substantiate the allegations. Today, students, staff, and patrons will notice an increased law enforcement presence at district facilities as we want to continue to provide a safe and secure learning environment for our students.

The safety and security of our students and staff is and will continue to be our main priority. As we move forward, we are encouraging parents and students to report any information and provide any evidence to school administration of any potential threats to the safety of our students and staff. Any information that we receive will prove helpful as we strive to maintain a secure campus. We encourage the continued collaboration between Kimball Public Schools, the Kimball Police Department, the Kimball County Sheriff’s Office, and the community.

Kimball Public Schools administration can be reached by contacting the Mary Lynch office at (308)235-4696 / the Jr/Sr High office at (308)235-4861 or you may report to our anonymous tip-line at 833-980-7233.
