Message from Admin

Welcome to September Eagle Families! During this month, you will see our students shift to even more academics with their classroom focuses and continued practice on our campus routines and expectations. MAP testing will begin this week in our Grades 1-5 so be on the lookout for communication regarding your child's specific progress on that assessment. Our teachers and campus staff are available to schedule phone calls or conferences should you need anything. Please make sure you are checking for announcements, newsletters and messages from your child's teachers through the Klein ISD app. If you are still having trouble accessing communication, here is the link for support: https://kleinisd.net/RoomsForParents.

Thank you again for your support and assistance during our arrival and dismissal routines. These times of day are going smoothly and students are being supervised and supported in a safe way! We will stop taking car rider numbers at 3:45pm beginning today. Any pick ups after that will occur in the front office where you will need to sign your child out for the day.

Thank you all again for an amazing August! The family connection and feel of Ehrhardt is something that truly makes our school so special. We thank you for all your support as we kicked off this year!

Upcoming Events at Ehrhardt Elementary

Cafeteria Visits

We are excited to invite families back to campus for student lunch times starting September 8, 2025. Please make sure you and any other guests have their IDs with them when signing in at the front office. Lunch visitors are able to eat with their students in the cafeteria and then will be asked to sign back out once lunch time is over. There will be tables by the stage for guests. Please keep these guidelines in mind when joining us for lunch at Ehrhardt:

Operation Adopt an Eagle

We are excited that Ms. Session is continuing her Adopt an Eagle group again this year. Please see this message from her and be on the lookout for more information about this amazing family engagement opportunity:

Hello Families,

Just a quick update to our Operation Adopt an Eagle. Our meeting days will not be Wednesdays, they will be Thursday afternoons, still from 4:00-5:00pm. 

All students who are signing up will need to have paid their dues prior to their first meeting with us. Campus meetings will start 9/11/2025. Signups never close, but paperwork and dues must be submitted before participation in the meetings can begin. 

I cannot wait to see all the amazing things these Eagles do this year! 

Thanks,

Allison Session

Arrival/Dismissal Information

Student safety is a top priority at Ehrhardt and during arrival and dismissal times, it becomes very important that everyone follow procedures to make sure students arrive and exit safely, quickly and appropriately. Please support our campus staff by adhering to the arrival and dismissal procedures. No matter what, we require that all family members remain in their vehicles during arrival and dismissal times. We also require that all Ehrhardt families are good community members and follow posted and known traffic laws and regulations. This includes parking in appropriate areas and being mindful of private property around the school property. While we know car rider lines can be long, they are truly the quickest and safest way to drop off and pick up from school.

Arrival: There are two arrival drop off points for students on campus. The drop off line at the main entrance to the building is the slower moving line. This line is often used by our younger students who need a little more time or assistance to exit their vehicles. These entrance doors are also closer to the PK and Kinder classrooms inside the building. The drop off line at the back entrance by the cafeteria is the quick drop off line. Staff members are present to open doors and provide minor assistance, but students should be independent when using this line. Both drop off lines start unloading cars at 7:45am and will stop at 8:05am. If you arrive later than 8:05am, please park and walk your child into the main office to sign them in for the day.

Dismissal: All car rider dismissals occur from the back entrance of the building by the cafeteria. Cars will line up starting at the cafeteria stop sign and moving into our surrounding neighborhood. Please note that car rider dismissal begins promptly at 3:25pm. Again, please be mindful and respectful when waiting in our car rider line. Do not block driveways, intersections or other roadways. Please also be aware that many Ehrhardt Eagles bike and walk to school and will be using the sidewalks around the neighborhood to get home each day. A staff member will stand at Seven Pines and Rosebrook Lanes to take your assigned car rider number. Car numbers can be picked up at Meet the Teacher or will be sent home on the first day. If you do not have a number, be prepared to stop and give the names of the students you are picking up. Our staff aims to load cars as quickly and safely as possible. Please be patient for the first few days while everyone learns the procedures. I will alert families to when car rider cut off times of 3:45pm will begin.

Walkers/Bikers: We love our students who walk or bike to and from school each day. Students in grades PK-2 need to be picked up each afternoon at the backdoors of their hallways. Older students in grades 3-5 will be walked off property by a staff member. Older students may walk around the building to pick up younger family members. All students who walk or bike home should leave campus as soon as they are dismissed and head straight home.

Medication Drop Off

If your child will require medication while at school please follow these guidelines:

  • Prescription medicines must be in the original container with the pharmacy label clearly showing student name and dosing information

  • Over the Counter medicines must include a doctor's note. This is a change from previous year's procedures

  • Unused medication cannot be sent home with students. An adult must come and collect the medication from the school nurse.

If you have additional questions, please contact our school nurse, Lady Rhodes.
