The outside lane in the front of the building will be for drivers to pull out into the left hand lane to go around and exit. All students who are car riders will enter the building using the designated front doors beginning at 8:30 am. Students who are dropped off at school prior to 8:30 will be unsupervised as staff duty begins at 8:30 am.

Parents, please remind your students to wear their ID badges every day!

Students are required to wear their ID badge around their neck at all times during the school day. IDs are necessary for purchasing lunch, checking out library books, riding the bus, and more. Students who repeatedly fail to wear their ID will receive consequences.

To help students build this habit:

• 1st Offense: Warning

• 2nd and 3rd Offenses: Lunch detention

• 4th Offenses +: ISS

ID Replacement Fees:

• Plastic Sleeve: $1

• Lanyard: $2

• Card Replacement: $5 (includes plastic sleeve and lanyard, if needed)

Wearing an ID throughout the entire day is an important part of our campus expectations. Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our school safe and support student accountability!

In alignment with House Bill 1481, a new state law taking full effect in the 2025–2026 school year, students must keep electronic devices powered off and put away in their backpacks from 8:30 a.m. until dismissal. Devices such as phones, smartwatches, tablets, and earbuds are not permitted during school hours. If you need to contact your student during the day, please call the school and we will deliver the message.

The law requires schools to issue disciplinary consequences for using personal communication devices during the instructional day. However, students with a Section 504 plan or IEP that includes device use as an accommodation will be allowed access as outlined in their individual plans.

Before the first day of school, we encourage you to talk with your children about this new Texas law and stress the importance of staying focused on learning during the school day.

We will be following the Klein ISD dress code as outlined in the Student Handbook.

We appreciate your support in ensuring that all students adhere to our dress code. Please ensure that students come to campus dressed appropriately. Shirts should be long enough to cover midriffs, and skirts and shorts should not be too short or revealing and should remain at the appropriate length throughout the day. Clothing should stay within dress code without needing adjustments after moving. Additionally, please remember that holes in pants should not excessively revealing, and no undergarments should be exposed. Leggings or shorts may be worn underneath pants to cover exposed areas. Shirts with inappropriate language or references to alcohol or drugs are not allowed. We kindly ask that you talk with your students about selecting clothing that stays in dress code throughout the day. Thank you for your cooperation!

To help students build this habit:

• 1st Offense: Warning

• 2nd and 3rd Offenses: Lunch detention

• 4th Offenses +: ISS

Attendance

The academic success of EVERY student at Hofius Intermediate is extremely important to us. Daily school attendance and arriving to each class on time are critical for your student's success. We ask that you be diligent in monitoring your student for regular school attendance. Arriving to school late or leaving early may count as an absence for that class period. You can help in the following ways:

Speak to your child about the importance of attendance and arriving to school on time every day.

Post the school calendar, and plan your vacations and appointments outside of school time.

Regularly monitor your child's attendance through Klein ISD's Family Access (Skyward).

Report absences to the school in a timely manner. Within five days of returning to school, a student who is absent because of a personal illness must bring a statement from a parent , doctor, or health clinic verifying the illness or condition that caused the student’s absence from school.

Communicate with the campus regarding any attendance concern.

Tardies

Our expectations is for our Hofius students to be in class on time and prepared and ready to learn! Students are tardy to class if they arrive after the tardy bell. Students are subject to disciplinary action for tardiness. If students arrive to class after 15 minutes, then the student is marked ABSENT and is subject to additional disciplinary action.

Disciplinary Consequences for Tardies (tardies reset every 3 weeks)

• 1st and 2nd Offenses: Warnings

• 3rd Offense: Warning and parent phone call home

• 4th Offense: Before School Detention or 2 days of lunch detention

• 5th Offense: In School Suspension

Tardies will begin to count the week of August 18th.

Students arriving late to school must check in at the attendance office and obtain a pass before heading to class. For early dismissals, parents are asked to notify the attendance secretary by 2:00 p.m. Both the student and parent must sign out at the attendance office before leaving campus.

All transportation changes must be submitted to the Grade Level Assistant Principal's Secretary by 2:00 p.m.
