For safety purposes, Kehillah now has a vehicle gate. You will need to fill out our Vehicle Registration form in order to be granted access through this gate.

You will need the following information for each vehicle: 
  • Name of main driver
  • cell phone number
  • vehicle license plate number
  • year, make

Shuttle service for the 2024-2025 academic year will be provided by Kids Kab, a safe and reliable door-to-door transportation service for students. Their drivers are criminal background checked, fingerprinted, and CHP, CPR, and First Aid certified.

Click here for more information about their organization.

Shuttle signup is limited to a first come, first served basis, with a maximum of 28 signups.

In order to play sports at Kehillah, it is required by the state of California that all athletes are cleared to participate. The health examination must be completed within 12 months of the participation dates. These are often completed during yearly physicals, but can also be completed retroactively by physicians, or at a wellness checkup (CVS, sports physical).

Please note that all forms need to be signed and returned before they can participate in any activity (practice, match).  This is California state law.

  • Online Forms: This set of forms is viewed and signed online, with no need to submit hard copies.
  • Health Examination: This form needs to be signed by a physician and either turned in as a hard copy or submitted electronically so that I can print it. Doctors' offices may have a different pre-participation sports form for high school athletics, which will work.

Athletic Interest Form:

Things may change between now and each season, but please take a minute to complete this form, as it helps us plan.

Athletics Interest for 2024-2025
