Dear Kleb Families,

As we close out the first quarter, I want to express how proud I am of our students’ hard work and dedication each day. Our students are soaring in the Triple As of Academics, Arts, and Athletics! Thank you for entrusting us with your child and allowing us to invest in their development. At our October Board of Trustees meeting I had the pleasure of recognizing two Outstanding 8th grade students, Lily Ellis and Sebastian Sloat, along with our exceptional Theatre and Reading elective teacher, Mrs. Richardson. Kleb is a better place because of their excellent impact on their peers and Kleb family.

Beat Doerre Spirit Week is happening after fall break, October 20th–22nd! Show your school pride by participating in fun dress-up days and celebrating Kleb spirit!

Safety is our top priority at Kleb. At the start of the school year, every student received a new ID badge. All students are required to wear their ID badge visibly around their neck on a lanyard, with their name and photo clearly displayed. This policy helps ensure the safety of all Klein ISD students and is part of our dress code.

If a student arrives at school without their ID badge on, they must purchase a temporary ID band for $1 at the ID station in the cafeteria before school. Consequences reset at the start of each grading period. Here is the sequence of consequences for not wearing the ID badge:

1st: Purchase temporary ID ($1), warning
