School Policies

Included on this page are highlights from our policies and procedures. The Kilgour Student Handbook includes more detail on each of these items.

Attendance Policies

As a reminder, our hours are:

School Hours: 9:10 a.m. - 3:40 p.m.
Office Hours: 9:10 a.m. - 3:40 p.m.

Absence Procedures

Students are expected to be at school on time each day. Call the office at (513) 363-3000 to report your child’s absence that day. Kilgour currently has a Health Assistant at school. To report an absent child, call the school office or email us using this Absence Reporting Form.

Bus Safety

Student behavior that distracts bus drivers is a hazard to the vehicle's safe operation, and jeopardizes the safety and welfare of all passengers. Misbehavior while on a yellow school bus or a Metro bus can result in disciplinary action for the student or the suspension of transportation service for the student. Read more about our requirements for student behavior on buses.

Discipline

Review CPS' Code of Conduct for disciplinary procedures.

Snow Days and School Delays

Snow days and school delays are announced on our website, local TV and radio stations, CPS' mobile app, and through automated phone calls. Assume school is open unless you hear otherwise. Learn more about CPS' severe weather and emergency closing procedures. Attendance is mandatory on snow days when school is open, but there is no yellow bus service. Parents/guardians should have a back-up transportation plan in place to avoid unexcused absences.

Visiting During School Hours

We welcome visits from parents and guardians. However, to protect student safety, all visitors must sign in at the main office and wear a visitor's badge. Parents/guardians who would like a conference with their child's teacher must schedule an appointment with the teacher.
