📢 Have you seen this form come home in your child’s backpack and wondered what it is?
Our school has been using Closegap last year as part of our support for student mental health and well-being. Closegap is a fun, digital check-in tool that helps students share how they are feeling so that only the counselor, administration, or classroom data team can see and respond.
✅ What’s new this year is not the program—the only change is that a new Nebraska state law now requires schools to collect parent consent for all mental health surveys.
Closegap helps us ensure that every student has the best chance for a successful school experience. It’s a simple way to connect students with the right support when they need it most.
If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Lewis or Mrs. Culek.
💌 Thank you for supporting our students!

Our first post of the senior class photo accidentally cut a few students out of the frame. We’re reposting the full picture now in two parts to ensure all are in the picture—apologies for the mistake, and here’s to a great year for the Class of 2026!



Huge THANK YOU to the Booster Club for hosting the scrimmages tonight and the Kimball Hospital Foundation for donating water for our students, parents and community! It was a great night to kick off the Fall sports season! #FN5GL #sweepstakes #longhornpride @kpslonghorns @tmobile





Today at Friday ELITE, we enjoyed playing outside in the cool weather, using bubbles and sidewalk chalk.
Then we made Painted Toast! We used colored milk to paint our bread before toasting it. 😋

BIG improvements made by the Lady Longhorn Volleyball Team! The young ladies put up a great effort against a talented Alliance and Morrill squad. You won't want to miss catching this team in action this year! They begin their season next Thursday with a triangular in Hemingford! #LonghornPride






🎉 Today at Mary Lynch Elementary, we officially rolled out our new Longhorn P.R.I.D.E. PBIS initiative during our end-of-the-week assembly! 🐂✨
The whole school came together to learn and practice the Longhorn P.R.I.D.E. Pledge, and our students did an amazing job working together to get it down! 🙌
Afterward, students participated in our expectation rotation, learning what it looks like to show Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Empathy all around our school. 💪👏
Be sure to ask your student:
👉 “Do you have Longhorn P.R.I.D.E.?”
It’s a great day to be a Longhorn! ❤️🤍








The JH Football boys will have practice tomorrow morning, Friday August 22nd, at 8am. Please contact Coach Wurdeman if you are unable to attend

Congratulations to KPS Board Member Jen Griebel on receiving her level award this evening at the NASB Area Membership meeting! #LonghornPride
