Conferences will be held on Monday, October 12th from 4:00 - 7:30pm and on Wednesday, October 14th from 5:00 - 8:40pm. Each conference will be scheduled in 15 minute time blocks. Conferences allow parents the chance to learn about your student’s classroom performance from the teachers, it allows the opportunity for you to ask questions and they provide an opportunity to build a dialogue with the teachers regarding any thoughts and concerns you might have.

Pack Period

Tomorrow will be our first Pack Period of the school year.  For students new to WKHS, when you think about a Pack Period you can also think of it as something like a homeroom where announcements are shared, particular topics are addressed or discussed, or timely activities are completed. Our Pack Periods at Kilbourne are typically held as a component of your 2nd period class. (Sometimes specific grades will be called for an assembly during the Pack Period time to come to the auditorium for a group presentation.)

Pack Periods are held on Wednesdays approximately every other week.  The Pack Period is a time for students and staff members to forge stronger connections, share important information, and to build on student success skills for learning and for life.

One of the main items that all students will see during tomorrow's Pack Period is a video from the Counseling Center. 

We are on a different bell schedule during Pack Period days to give you an extra 24 minutes to be in the Pack Period.  This also  means each class is 3 minutes shorter - so your 2nd period class will begin 3 minutes earlier than normal (a really important point to be aware of if you are a student with late arrival and no class during 1st period so that you're not late to 2nd period on Pack Period days.)

Meeting with School Counselors

Students, if you want to meet with us - just drop by our offices! That is honestly the BEST way to meet with us. You don't need to schedule an appointment in advance. We're generally around before and after school as well as during your lunch or academic prep/ options periods for you to stop in and chat.

You don't need a big reason to come down and say Hi. We are happy to see you even if you just wanted to tell us how well or how poorly you did on a test that day. If we are busy meeting with another student or parent - you can stop back down, leave a pass for us, send us an email to let your counselor know you want to see her. If we haven't tracked you down that day or the following day, chances are the pass we sent for you didn't make it to you or we can't find you in the commons - so please come back!

During high school there are times when you may wonder if there is anyone who cares and is willing to listen to what you are going through and we want to remind you that we are here for you.

Parents, out of respect for your time and our schedules of trying to prioritize and maximize meeting with students during the school day, we do ask that if you would like to meet with us that you reach out via email or phone so we can set up a time to meet in advance rather than just having parents attempt to drop by like students are doing. Thanks for understanding.

Get Involved

Being involved in sports, clubs, volunteer outreach, or other areas of interest help connect students to the school and community. You have special gifts that only you can share and you can make a positive difference!  

WKHS is very fortunate to have a wide range of opportunities available within the school setting for you to get involved. There are 29 interscholastic sports, over 40 clubs, the school newspaper, video news team, yearbook and a wide variety of performance groups (choirs, bands, orchestra, and theater). While there is obviously no shortage of established groups that you can get involved with, if you have other passions that you want to focus on, don't forget that you can also help establish a new club. As long as you can find a faculty member who is willing to help you with club oversight, Mr. Todd and Ms. Masi in the athletic office can assist you with the paperwork needed to establish a new club or organization.

For underclassmen, getting involved makes your transition to high school easier because you get to know older students and you find a place where you can belong. For upperclassmen, being involved gives you the opportunity to demonstrate leadership and to grow in your areas of interest. (And no, for the record, I don't think you should just get involved because it will look good on your college applications... you should be participating because it is meaningful and important to you, but yes, being involved is a plus for college applications too.)

As we kick off the new year, perhaps getting involved can be one of your goals for the year. You will be able to contribute and find a sense of belonging all at the same time.

Reminders

Tomorrow (Monday, August 17th) is the first day back to school for students attending the Delaware Area Career Center. For DACC students, the bus will transport you from WKHS to DACC and back, but you will need to find your own transportation between home and Kilbourne. The bus up to DACC will leave WKHS in the morning at 7:15am. We hope you have a great first day at the Career Center!

Additionally, a reminder to seniors that tomorrow at 1:30pm is the second Common App 101 Workshop. We will meet in Room 201. Please be sure to bring your Chromebook or a laptop with you because you will work on your actual Common App while we are meeting.

New Names and Faces

Kilbourne was filled with a buzz of energy, excitement, and nerves today as everyone came through to pick up their schedules. Don't forget, there are 2 more days for schedule pick up this week... Wednesday afternoon from 12:30-3:30 and Thursday evening from 5-8pm.

As you see your schedules and/ or as you walk through the building you may see that there are many new names and faces this year at WKHS. We encourage you to welcome and say hi to the following new staff members:

We will have 3 new security monitors: Mr. Benver, Mr. Schreiber, and Mr. Turnbull.

Mrs. Bowman (Math)

Mr. Zarycki (Math)

Mr. Timms (Special Ed)

Ms. Bush (Health/ PE)

Ms. Glitsch (Tech)

Mr. Sullivan (Orchestra)

Science has a bunch of new staff including: Mr. Larson, Ms. Starr, Mr. Joyce, and Ms. Lavelle

Ms. Coleman (EL)

Although they are not new to WKHS, we have a few staff members shifting positions - Mr. Berens will now be in the Art Department and Mrs. Taylor will be in the English Department

We have 3 new Administrative Assistants taking over for secretaries that retired including: Mrs. Stead, Mrs. Kehlmeier, and Mrs. Moneypenny.

Mrs. Dyer is a new Assistant Principal. She will partner with Mr. Alexander on the top part of the alphabet (A-K). Mrs. Leiding and Mrs. Travis will now share the bottom part of the alphabet (L-Z).

And then there were a few weddings over the summer and so Ms. Johnson is now Mrs. Maddock and Ms. Hunt is now Mrs. Gorski.

What hasn't changed? That everyone at WKHS is excited to work with the students and to have a successful year ahead. So even if you're uncertain when you see that your schedule features names of people you don't know yet, please know that it will be great!

It's August!

It's August... which means a lot of things to different people. For fall athletes, it means seasons are now beginning in full-force. For students and teachers, it means summer is ending and the countdown to classes is on. And for seniors, it means that Common App is now live for the Class of 2027.

Common App is a website that students can use to apply to a wide range of colleges with the same basic core application and then separate individual smaller application sections for each individual college. There are over 1,100 colleges who accept the Common Application so it is definitely a site that a LOT of students will find themselves using if you will be applying directly to a 4-year college.

It can be great for seniors to log into Common App and start the basic information for your applications. But every year we have seniors who think they know exactly the right answers for various questions and then realize that they were not correct. We don't want that to happen to you!

In order to help prepare seniors for filling out the Common App we will host a Common App 101 Workshop where seniors will literally bring your computer and log into your own Common App account and we will walk you through the application step by step to help you be sure that you are completing all of the information accurately.

These are such an important part of the college application process that we will host the same workshop 3 different times so that you can pick the date and time that works best for your schedule. They are:

• Friday, August 14th at 10:30am
• Monday, August 17th at 1:30pm
• Thursday, September 10th at 7:45am

All of the workshops will be held in Room 201 at WKHS. Space will be limited for each session so we do ask that students register to let us know which session you will be attending.

Like you, we will be holding tight and trying to squeeze every last moment of enjoyment out of the remaining days of summer. But we are also looking forward to seeing you and hearing all about your breaks (and, for the seniors, which colleges are on your finalized list.)

So Much to Celebrate

As the year winds down, there are so many reasons (and people) to celebrate and thank...

Socratic Society:

30 students were inducted into the Socratic Society earlier this month. Students were nominated by staff members because of how they demonstrated the principles of Integrity, Personal Effort, Scholarship, Compassion, and Lifelong Learning. Congratulations to: Lara Balles, Cole Beckett, Lauren Bialecki, Jose Cano Illescas, Saith Chance-Vachio, Hannah Cole, Ray DiSalvo, Chloe Eberly, Scarlett Elder, Annabelle Epling, Gabrielle Epling, Zoey Gearhart, Bella Hollback, Jacob Kostelnick, Kellen Louk, Brogan McGlone, Davis O'Brien, Gia Pastore, Sarah Pelzer, Logan Poe, Emma Radick, Claire Renneker, Shawn Rice, Declan Ryan, Lilly Schultheis, Whit Sheridan, Seren Slentz, Tessa Terpenning, Gavin Troiano, and Lyla Woerth. We are proud of all of you!

Office Workers:

Every year we ask for students to volunteer in the Counseling Center. We have to rely on students to deliver passes and help us with other projects. We are so grateful for the students who have served as office workers this year. And, remember, if you're looking for community service hours next year, we would love to have you volunteer with us next year.

Advisory Council:

Parents, staff members and a few students are invited to share their insights and perspectives as a part of our advisory council board. They help guide the counseling center with our programming and outreach efforts. We are so grateful for the assistance and guidance provided by: Aya Ahmed, Luisa Anaya, Steve Buck, Kelly Campbell, Bice Dolciato, Elizabeth Ferguson, Christie Holtzclaw, Kim Huff, Megan Humphrey, Shion Jamshidimehr, John Lundine, Tiena Miller, Liz Renneker, Linh Rhea, Aric Thomas, and Angie Vantell. We weren't able to get a photo of the whole group, but this includes a few of our members at the last meeting.

Drumming Circle and Activity Club:

We have a special parternship with Iggy Garcia who provides drumming circles for us at Arts in Action Day. This special experience allows everyone to be able to feel connected through the beat of the drums as the whole room participates in unison. It is a nice chance to be reminded that we are all connected.

The drumming circle (along with several other Arts in Action day activities) was made possible by the WKHS Activity Club. This incredible group of dedicated Kilbourne moms helps to make so many opportunities available for our students. They are the reason that we have a nice Kindness Closet, Food Bags for families in need, the Toiletries Care Closet, After Prom, and SO MUCH MORE. A hgue thank you to Activity Club for making our school so much stronger! We appreciate you.

Teachers:

     This past week was Teacher Appreciation week. Teachers (and the rest of the staff too) were recognized and celebrated for the impact they have on our student body and the community as a whole. It's so easy to take teachers for granted, but they impact not only your learning, but also creatinv a safe, supportive environment that makes Kilbourne such a special place to learn and grow. The teachers are encouragers, confidants, coaches, and the people who see the best that

Free Vaccine Clinic

Kilbourne will be providing a free vaccine clinic for students on Wednesday April 29th from 8:30 -12:30 with Columbus Public Health. This is a super easy, convenient option because parents do not need to be present, all vaccines are free and no one has to drive downtown to the main clinic location.

Registration can be completed online Vaccine Clinic Registration or consent forms can be picked up from Nurse Julie in the Health Office, completed and returned to school for students to participate. 

This is the perfect time for current 11th graders to receive the Meningococcal vaccine which is a requirement for starting senior year.

If you have any questions, please stop by the health office and ask Nurse Julie between now and next Wednesday.

Caps & Gowns

The reality of high school coming to a close for seniors often starts to set in when caps and gowns are distributed and for the Class of 2026, that will take place during lunch periods over the next 2 days. We love seeing the looks in seniors eyes as they walk away from the tables carrying their cap and gown package. This is such an exciting time in your lives and you have worked hard over the last 13 years to get to this point. Don't forget to keep pushing academically, but also know that it's ok to pause as you pick up your cap and gown and realize that this is part of what your efforts have been for - to reach this milestone in your life! We're proud of you and excited for you.  

Also, one other hint from years of seeing seniors pick up their caps and gowns - when you get home, take the gown out of the bag and hang it up! There will be TONS of creases in your gown and you'll still have to iron/ steam it to try to get them all out, but giving gravity a chance to help is always a plus as well.

Parent/ Teacher Conferences

Tomorrow we will start meeting with every 9th grader and I'm looking forward to a busy, but meaningful day!

I also wanted to make sure that all parents know that Parent/ Teacher conferences are coming up next week and the online system for parents to sign up for a time to meet with teachers opened this morning. Conferences will be held on Monday, February 9th from 4:00pm - 7:30pm and Wednesday, February 11th from 5:00pm – 8:30pm. Each conference will be scheduled in 15 minute time blocks.  Conferences allow parents the chance to learn about your student’s classroom performance from the teachers, it allows the opportunity for you to ask questions and they provide an opportunity to build a dialogue with the teachers regarding any thoughts and concerns you might have.

Conferences will be scheduled as people sign up for them, so if you want to make sure you have times that work well for you, I strongly encourage you to register right away.

Thank you WEF

The Worthington Education Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support to projects in the Worthington school district that will benefit students. We wrote a grant application that was awarded to us last night during the Board of Education meeting.

The WEF has generously funded our grant application to start creating a Stress Management And Resiliency Training - "SMART" Lab. This new space in the counseling center will be a place where students can work to build the skills to help manage their feelings and emotions. Having new opportunities to practice regulating emotions is an opportunity we are really excited about having at Kilbourne.

Our goal is to start getting the SMART Lab set up early in 2026 so that all students can have the chance to start using it during the 2nd semester. More information about this new space will be forthcoming as we get it launched.

We're Moving

As you know, the Counseling Center and Administrative area has been in a bit of a construction limbo, but that is soon coming to an end! This week the new counseling center and administrative space is expected to be finished with construction and ready for us to start moving in. Obviously this is both exciting and a little bit hectic.

Although the construction is done, there are still some elements that are going to need to be finished over the weeks ahead (like getting doors for some of the counselor offices). But it is exciting that we are one step closer. They should begin moving furniture into our new spaces soon and then over the following few days we will move all of the other stuff out of the current counseling center and administrative areas and into the new spaces. We will have control over the timing of some aspects and just working to be flexible on other parts. But, I can tell you that the construction people would ideally like for us to be completely out of our current (old) space no later than Sunday because next Monday morning they want to begin demolition of our space to make way for the new library!

So why does that matter to you? Well, if you need something from me this week, you may need to be flexible about where to go to find me. If my computer is still in my old office, I will likely continue working out of that space. But once all of the technology stuff (computer and phone) are moved to the new space then that will be where you will find me... and honestly, because it has all been under construction I don't really even know how to tell you to find me there. So I anticipate we will post signs and you can always ask a secretary or other staff member and we will all figure it out together.

Remember, every step of construction progress is one step closer to construction being totally completed and that is GREAT news!

Homecoming Week

Student council coordinates spirit week themes for the entire week leading up to the homecoming football game on Friday night and the dance on Saturday.  This is a great way that students can support Kilbourne and show your school spirit.

Monday - PJ Day (because you didn't really want to get dressed up in real clothes on a Monday, right?)

Tuesday - Adam Sandler Day

Wednesday - Pink Out Day

Thursday - Jersey/ College Day

Friday - USA Day

It is important to remember that your attire for all of these days is still required to abide by the requirements of the student dress code.

In addition to the spirit themed dress, this week will also feature:

- Friday afternoon will feature a Pep Rally.  In order to allow for the whole school to participate in the afternoon pep rally, we will have a modified bell schedule for Friday.

- Friday night is, of course, the football game and will include the introduction of the Homecoming Court at 6:40pm.

- Dance out in the Stadium on Saturday night.

Clearly, it will be a BUSY and Fun-Filled week ahead.  I hope you will make the most of embracing the energy and excitement of the high school festivities.

Lockdown Reflection

I have thought a lot about it and tried to decide what I wanted to say about the lockdown situation we had last week and part of me wanted to just not address it on my blog... but I also believe that my blog is the place where I try to reflect on all of the things happening at school and this was a big one.

Thursday was scary. 

It is scary to think that something bad could happen in our school. There is so much in our world that is negative, beyond our control, and overwhelming to even think about. And then, on Thursday, we were all forced to react to the possibility that the scariness of the rest of the world was happening at Kilbourne - a place we all love, feel safe in, and where we are surrounded by friends and classmates. 

First and foremost, I want to acknowledge that those feelings of fear you were feeling during the lockdown were (and are) valid and real.

I wish none of us had to know a world where scary, unpredictable things can happen. And yet we do. And so that is why we have drills, so that we can practice and think about what it would look like if a real crisis took place. Because I suspect that many of you, like me, weren't really thinking a lot at first - you were just moving and doing the things you have practiced during lockdown drills.

There is no doubt that everything didn't go as planned or expected. There isn't anything good in that except that we are now learning from it. At school we spend a lot of time encouraging students to fail forward, to try hard in your classes and when it all goes wrong, to figure out where things fell apart and work to correct that for the future. I promise, the WKHS administration are working hard to get the various people involved with aspects of the system that didn't work properly to make corrections and get it right so that you will feel even more safe and reassured that should something ever happen at WKHS the systems designed to help keep you protected will work.

You all know that there wasn't actually a crisis that caused the lockdown. But there could have been. And that is yet another reason why it is always so important to speak up if you see something that doesn't look or feel right. You don't want anything bad happening at your school or to you or your friends. We have to look out for one another, support one another, notice if something isn't right and work to fix it. 

If you are still feeling stressed and uneasy about last Thursday's lockdown, I want to remind you that my door is open to you and I am here to talk about those feelings with you. I am so thankful that this wasn't a true crisis and that we are able to process all of this together now with that knowledge. 

Picture Day

I know that there were many students who were unable to have their photo taken during the schedule pick up nights. If the lines were too long or you were unable to attend on schedule pick up nights, it is still important that you get your picture taken. Not only are the pictures used for the yearbook and in Infinite Campus, but they are also used on your ID's which will allow you to access the WKHS sporting events for free.

Picture Make-ups for those of you who weren't able to have your picture taken yet for this school year will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, August 19th during all lunch periods. They will be taking these pictures in the Golf Simulator Room which is the old nurse's/ health office in the Art/ Tech hallway. There will be signs posted to help direct you to the right location. 

If you haven't yet had your picture taken, please be sure to make time during your lunch period to go and get this step marked off of your to-do list.

Construction Continues

Do you know that time period after you start cleaning your room when everything somehow seems to be messier than before you started? I like to think about the construction at WKHS as being a lot like that. Right now, we are in a bit of limbo. I know, you have been being flexible and adjusting to rotating classrooms being open/ closed for over a year now, but the end is coming... just not quite yet.

As you may be aware, the location of the Library at WKHS and where the Counseling/ Administrative areas are will be flipping. They have asked us to box up all of our stuff out of the counseling center so that we would be ready to move, but the space in the new area isn't done yet. And so we are currently still going to be in our old offices, but they won't look the same. And, quite honestly, it doesn't feel the same when everything is pretty sterile and there are stacks of boxes everywhere. But this is temporary. 

So please know that the Counseling Center space won't look or feel normal, but it is still a safe space for you to come, talk, share, vent, and celebrate. And then later this fall when we move into the new space, you'll be among the first who get to check it out and help to make the new space feel comfortable and welcoming.

I appreciate your flexibility as we navigate this transition. It will be awesome after it is done... we just have to be patient until we get there. And if the surroundings feel stressful and overwhelming to you, just let me know and we can always take a walk and talk elsewhere in the building.

Phones Off. Friends On.

By now I am sure that you have all heard about the new laws in Ohio and therefore rules in Worthington that we will be following for this school year related to cell phones... basically, you aren't allowed to be using phones at all during the school day.

I know that at first this will likely create some anxiety among students and possibly even parents. Change is hard. The phones have become an extension of ourselves and the data about the number of times that we tap our phone to make sure we haven't missed any alerts even though we haven't received notifications is confirmation enough about how addicted we are to our phones. 

As we make this transition, know that it is normal to feel skeptical or uneasy about how this will work. There may be legitimate concerns like how can I reach my parent/ child in the day if it is an emergency, but in cases of emergency we will be able to help support you in the offices and with the landline phones. If you really need to reach your parent (or they really need to reach you) we will help to facilitate that communication. There is no question that part of the uneasy feeling comes from the times of discomfort when we aren't really feeling like we are connected to people around us and so jumping on our phones allows us to escape the present moment... but remember, EVERYONE around you will be feeling the same way and seeking connections from others around them too.

What about lunch time or in the hallways? Yep, no cell phones there too. And that is where I actually think the concepts of "Phones Off. Friends On." is going to pay off the most. You want to know what is happening with your friends, awesome, come to school and be present with them. You want to de-stress and power off your brain, great, let's focus on developing some new and different strategies that don't require you to be on your phone... which will help you now and for the rest of your life. There is no doubt that everyone will immediately be more approachable in the commons when people aren't just looking down at their phones. So who knows, maybe you're going to find a new forever friend that you never would have had the chance to meet and get to know if it wasn't for this new rule. 

Be Here Now is one of my favorite reminders... to be present with the people I am around at any given moment in time. To savor in the moments, the memories, the simplicity of life - no matter how boring or exciting. Because the people around me (and you) all deserve to have our time and attention just like you deserve to have that from those around you. And I am sure you have had times where you felt like someone was only halfway paying attention to you because they were also on their phone at the same time. Without phones, the effort to be present and "Be here now" will be a little bit easier and for that reason, I am confident that the district's call for "Phones Off. Friends On." will prove to be true. 

Remember, if you are feeling stressed about this change, I am here to listen and give you a safe place to share those fears and frustrations. Change is hard, but you will get through this adjustment. (In case it helps, remember that it is actually kind of like going back to middle school rules because you weren't allowed to use your phones there either and you survived that and MS years are way harder than HS years.)

Schedule Pick Up

Is anyone else feeling a little overwhelmed by the fact that school starts next week? Somehow I suspect it isn't just me! I'd imagine it will start to feel real that summer is coming to a close when you come to pick up your schedules this week.

Due to the ongoing construction at WKHS, schedule pick up will look a little bit different than past years in that it will all take place on the 2nd floor and it will be held during the evening so that we aren't in the way of the construction workers.

The process is paperless again this year which means that your emergency medical information, health forms, and athletic forms need to be updated online BEFORE coming through the schedule pick up lines.  Those forms will all be on the Worthington Schools website (not counselor website).

Students and families are invited to come pick up your schedules, get your school pictures taken, and navigate all of the other stations (such as textbook pick up, vision & hearing screening, etc) on Wednesday, August 6th and Thursday, August 7th from 5-7:30pm.

When possible, they would ideally like for 9th and 11th graders to come on the 6th and 10th and 12th graders to come on the 7th, but if your schedule prohibts you from attending on your preferred date, please know that you can come on either evening.

Sorry, I can't email out copies ahead of time. And I know that every year there are questions about what you should do if you are not available to attend on your designated schedule pick up time. If you will not be able to attend either of the designated days/ times, then you will not be able to pick up your your books or get your student ID made until the 1st day of school, but schedules will be available online starting Monday, August 11th or you're welcome to come to school on either Monday the 11th or Tuesday, August 12th from 1:00 - 3:00pm.  (No morning pick up's on those dates though because we are all in mandatory meetings both mornings.)

Each year schedule pick up days are two of the craziest days for me, but I am looking forward to seeing you!

Kilbourne Kindness Closet

The Kilbourne Kindness Closet is a place where current WKHS students, parents and family members can get free Kilbourne spirit wear to show your school pride and feel like a connected part of our community. 

We count on donations from Kilbourne students, staff and families to keep the Kilbourne Kindness Closet stocked with clothes. As you do spring/ summer cleaning and find clothes that no longer fits you or doesn't apply to you any more, please know that we would love to have those donations for other families. Additionally, seniors, you are just about a week away from being alumni of WKHS. As you get ready to purge your high school gear that you no longer want/ need, please be sure to drop it off at Kilbourne for future wolves to wear.

We appreciate the community's support in making this project a reality!
