This an important reminder that tonight there will be a meeting for parents of 2013 Seniors. It will be at 5:30 in the KHS cafeteria. Student leaders, along with Ms. Taylor, Mr. Soeth and Mr. Lycan, will be on hand to present information about upcoming senior events as well as events through the rest of the year. We will also discuss ways parents can be a part of making these events successful. See you tonight, January 14, at 5:30, in the cafeteria.
 
The annual Kimball High School Colloquium for current  9th - 11th grade students will be held on Thursday January 17th during the school day.  Students will attend during their English Classes.  The Colloquium offers opportunity for students to investigate classes they may wish to take next year.

Teachers and students will be present to answer question regarding Advanced Placement courses, electives and pathway related courses.  New course for next year will also be present at the Colloquium. Students, start thinking about the classes you may wish to take next year and any questions you may have about them can be answered at the Colloquium.   Our counselors will also be present to answer any program question you may have.  See You at the Colloquium!
 
John C. Kimball High School is hosting a Cash for College Night. Students will be able to begin completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). In order to be eligible to receive any financial aid students must complete a FAFSA application. This is true no matter how or where the money will be used, for a four year college, two year college, private school or vocational school. This is a must for all seniors. You can do this on your own at home, but for this event representatives from Delta College will be here to help out with the process. The workshop is set for this evening, January, 9, 2013, from 5:00-8:00 pm. Students will only need to stay until they complete the application. Students and parents will have the ability to work at a computer and fill out the FAFSA paperwork online. One of the students who attends tonight’s session will be winning a $1000 scholarship. The Cash For College workshop will be held in computer rooms F7 and F8.
 
Kimball High School will host its Colloquium for incoming 8th grade students on January 17, at 6:00 pm.

Selecting classes for the first year of high school can be an exciting as well as a daunting task for many 8th graders. The Colloquium is a chance for students and parents to find out about the courses and programs available at Kimball. Faculty, students, counselors and administrators will be available to talk to you and answer your questions to help you make informed decisions when completing course request forms.

Also, at Kimball all students are part of a Pathway. The Pathways are smaller groups of students organized around common interests whose learning experiences can reflect those interests. We have three Pathways from which to choose at Kimball, Communications, Health Sciences, which includes Education, and Architecture, Construction and Interior Design (ACI). Each student selects a first and second choice for their Pathway when they complete their course request form as an 8 th grader. The Colloquium is a great opportunity to find out about these pathways so you can make the best choices.
