Frank Flyer Family Newsletter

šŸ–ļøšŸŽ’ 25-26 Back to School Edition šŸš€šŸ“š

Good afternoon, Frank Family!

I am thrilled to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Frank Elementary! It is truly an honor to lead this incredible school community, and I am excited for another year filled with learning, growth, and connection.

My name is Meredith Moss, and I’ve been part of Klein ISD for over a decade. Frank Elementary holds a special place in my heart, and I feel so fortunate to work alongside such dedicated staff, supportive families, and amazing students.

On a personal note, my family and I live right here in the neighborhood. My husband, Tim, and I have four children. Our oldest two daughters, Maddy and Avery are Klein Cain graduates. Our daughter, Paisley, will begin her 9th-grade year at Cain, and our youngest, Gunnar, will be in 7th grade at Doerre. We love being part of this community, and you’ll often see us out and about—please don’t hesitate to stop and say hello!

As both a principal and a parent, I believe deeply in the power of strong home-to-school partnerships. At Frank, we know that students thrive when families and educators work together. I am committed to fostering those relationships from the very first day.

I can’t wait to see you all back on campus soon. Let’s make the 2025–2026 school year our best one yet!
