Safety is our top priority at Kleb. At the start of the school year, every student will receive 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

A student is considered tardy if they are not inside the doorway of the classroom at the time the bell finishes ringing to signal the beginning of class.

Tardy Consequences: Tardy counts start over at the beginning of each week. Consequences are as follows:

1 Tardy: Free
2 Tardies: Warning
3 Tardies: 1 day before/after school detention
4 Tardies: 2 days before/after school detention
5 Tardies: 3 days before/after school detention

Please be advised that the dress code will be enforced starting from day one. Some important points to remember include: no head coverings, hats, bandanas, or similar items are allowed; all shirts and shorts must be of appropriate length.

Closed bottles or spill-proof containers are the best choice for staying hydrated without accidents. Thank you for helping us maintain a clean and safe environment for everyone!
