Help Our Warriors Write with Pride!

We are thrilled to announce the continuation of our "Write with PRIDE" initiative for the upcoming school year! This program, which began as a successful pilot last year, is designed to help all students practice writing across the curriculum during our weekly PRIDE advisory period. The month-long pilot demonstrated great results, and we are excited to expand the project to help our Warriors become the best writers they can be.

To ensure every student has the necessary materials, we are asking for your help! We need donations of composition notebooks. You can contribute in one of two ways:

1. Donate via our Amazon Wish List: amzn.to/3Usc3YI (The QR code in the image links to the same page.)

2. Bring notebooks to your student's 5th-period teacher by Thursday, August 22nd.

Any shortage after the donation drive ends will be covered by the school to ensure every student has a notebook. Thank you for your support in helping our students build their writing skills and confidence!

As we gear up for week two, if a student has a question about their schedule, please have them complete the schedule change request form that is located in Schoology. All students should remain in their scheduled class. Their counselor will call the student down to resolve any issues.

Please note, that while we try to make as few schedule changes as possible after the first day of school, counselors are still trying to level classes to accommodate our enrollment numbers and give our students and teachers the benefit of the smallest class sizes possible. As we move into week two, a few schedules could change as counselors work through this process. Counselors will try to keep students with the same teachers as much as possible. If you have any questions about a specific schedule change, please reach out to your child's counselor.

Students will receive their 2025-2026 IDs when they pick up their Chromebook or on the first day of school in their first period class.

Students are expected to have their IDs on a lanyard, around their neck, and visible at all times.
IDs may be taken off during physical activity but required to be put back around neck.
Students who do not have their ID will be required to acquire a temporary ID. A $1 fee will be added to the student's school cash account.

Students who lose their ID may request a new one. The student will be provided with a new ID, lanyard, and sleeve. A $5 fee will be added to their school cash account.

Here are this year's standard lanyard colors:

6th Grade- Yellow

7th Grade- Black

8th Grade- Red

*Note lanyard color travels with the student, so returning students will be able to use last year's lanyards, but a new one will also be provided to each student.

For the first week of school, 3rd period teachers with 6th grade students will bring students down early to lunch. 6th graders will sit in a section with their 3rd period class for the first week of school. 4th period teachers will pick 6th grade students up at the end of lunch. Students will have staggered dismissal. Lunch will take place during 4th period for all grade levels.

During 4th period, 7th and 8th grade students will be dismissed to lunch at the appropriate bell. Please see the graphic below for which classes will eat A, B, and C lunch.

If you need to bring your child lunch, please know what lunch period they have and deliver it to the front office with their first and last name on it.

Please do NOT Door Dash, Grub Hub, Uber Eats, etc. food to the school for your child.

This is a reminder to parents and guardians of bus riders that behavior expectations on Klein ISD buses apply throughout the entire duration of the ride. Any referrals made by the bus driver will result in disciplinary actions in accordance with the student code of conduct, which may include a three-day bus suspension or up to the removal of bus riding privileges for the entire academic year. Our goal is to ensure that all students experience a safe school day as well as a safe commute to and from home. If you have any questions, please contact Assistant Principal Mr. Ryan for further assistance.

To ensure all students are safely supervised, we do not student allow entry unless their teacher is present. Between 8:00 and 8:25, students can enter the building for tutorials through the secondary front door (the entrance nearest the handicap parking spots). Students must present their student ID and sign in, indicating where they will attend. Students will only be permitted to attend tutorials for teachers who have marked themselves present.

We will publish the tutorial schedule for your reference in the August 24th volume of The Arrow as we are currently working to compile this information for teachers.

After 8:25, students will not be able to enter the building until the bell rings at 8:35, allowing our staff time to prepare for the school day and report to their morning duty stations.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
