2 Weeks!

2 Weeks!  Can you believe it?!  In just two short weeks we will be back at school for the first day of the 2015-16 school year.  It is going to be a great year - it is Kilbourne's 25th anniversary year - and hopefully for each of you this will be your best year yet both academically and personally.

While many of you... and possibly me too :-) ...are wishing that these final days of summer would drag out and move slow, there is good news for how the first day of school will run.  We will not be on a normal bell schedule.

Freshman students will come to school at the normal time (7:45am) and they will have some introductory transition meetings and a chance to move through their bell schedule to find all of their classes in the morning before all of the upperclassmen join them in the building.

All students, grades 9 - 12 will start attending their actual classes at 9:50am.  So this means that for sophomores, juniors and seniors, the school buses will run twice on opening day and you won't have to be at school until later - a great way to transition back into the school year!

Here is the bell schedule for August 19th:

7:45 - 9:35am - Freshman Students Only
9:50 - 10:25 - 1st period
10:30 - 11:05 - 2nd period
11:10 - 11:45 - 3rd period
11:50 - 12:25 - 4th period
12:30 - 1:05 - 5th period
1:10 - 1:45 - 6th period
1:50 - 2:25 - 7th period
2:30 - 3:05 - 8th period

Also, a reminder for all freshman students and parents - there will be a Link Transition Day on Monday, August 17th from 11:00am - 3:00pm.  Busses do not run on this day so parents will need to coordinate for transportation, but it is a fun day full of activities, class bonding, and mentorship opportunities that freshmen students will not want to miss.
