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

📣 Kimball Jr./Sr. High School Families – Action Required

Dear Kimball Jr./Sr. High School Families,

We're just one month away from the first day of school, and our staff is excited to welcome students back for another great year!

This year, we are launching an exciting new Advising Program designed to help every student develop a clear sense of purpose while preparing for success after high school.

Our school theme for 2026-2027 is:

Own Your Path

Every student will create an Individual Student Plan (ISP)—a personalized roadmap that includes academic, personal, career, and post-secondary goals. Each student will also be paired with a faculty adviser who will meet with them monthly to monitor progress, celebrate successes, and provide guidance throughout the school year.

We Need Your Help

Because you know your child better than anyone, your input is an essential part of building a meaningful plan.

Please complete the ISP Intake Form with your student by Friday, July 24, 2026.

The form takes approximately 20–30 minutes and asks about:

  • Academic strengths

  • Interests and activities

  • Career interests

  • Plans after high school

  • Goals for the coming school year

How to Complete the ISP Intake

Step 1 – Find Your Student ID

Log into Infinite Campus and open the Student Summary page. Your student's 6-digit Student ID is listed there.

If you need assistance locating the ID, email me at dreader@kpslonghorns.org.

Step 2 – Open the Intake Form

ISP Intake Form:

https://isp-student-success.onrender.com/#/intake

Step 3 – Verify Your Student

Enter the Student ID when prompted.

The system will display:

  • the last four digits of the ID

  • your student's grade level

Please verify this information before continuing.

Step 4 – Complete the Form Together

Please complete the questions with your student.

To help protect student privacy, refer to your child using their Student ID or "my student" rather than entering their name.

Step 5 – Submit

Once submitted, the ISP will be created and reviewed by your student's adviser before the school year begins.

Families with Multiple Households

If more than one parent or guardian may complete the form, please coordinate so only one intake form is submitted per student.

Once an intake has been submitted, additional submissions cannot be accepted.

This program represents an exciting step forward in helping every student discover their strengths, establish meaningful goals, and truly Own Their Path throughout junior high and high school.

Thank you for partnering with us in helping every student succeed. We appreciate your support and involvement.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The high school and junior high volleyball have been putting in a lot of work with open gyms, team camps, and clinics! 🏐We had the opportunity to have Coach Fati from WNCC come work with us. We focused mostly on some hitting and a little serving. These girls worked hard and made huge improvements! 🏐The high school played in a team camp in Pine Bluffs. We lost 3 sets and won 10!! A BIG thank you to all of the red and white sponsors for making these opportunities possible for these athletes. ❤️🏐❤️

Because of your generous support, several of our student-athletes had the opportunity to attend the CSU Track Camp this past weekend. The athletes received outstanding one-on-one instruction from experienced coaches in their individual events, helping them build skills and confidence for the upcoming season.

It was an incredible experience, and our athletes came home with new knowledge, motivation, and excitement. Thank you for investing in our students and making opportunities like this possible! #GoLonghorns #RedAndWhiteSponsors #TrackAndField #ThankYou

Longhorn football had a good Lock-in camp over the weekend to get our summer program rolling. We will be having regular evening (Tuesday Thursday 7pm) team workouts (weight room and 7on7) the remainder of the summer. We had great opportunities to set our baseline strategies, work on leadership, great weight room time and just some good team bonding. A big thanks to the Kimball Pool for working with us to allow a time to escape the heat and have some fun! Another example of a community that pours out the support for all of our programs!
