A Note from our Principal ✨

It’s our final week of October and our students are well on their way into quarter 2.  Your student has had the opportunity to reflect on quarter 1 and are tracking their progress with their personal student tracker.  Please take a moment to visit with your student on their progress thus far and the plan that is in place to meet their needs.  

We’re continuing to strengthen Klein ISD’s culture of voting, and we want to encourage every member of our Klein Family to make your voices heard. Participate in the legislative process and exercise your civic responsibility to vote!

Early Voting takes place October 20-31, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. Visit harrisvotes.com for more information and to see a sample ballot.
