Weekly Highlights at Kleb Intermediate 🤩

We had another incredible week at Kleb Intermediate! Our students have been busy excelling in academics while also showcasing their talents across a variety of exciting activities. The Track Zone Meet brought out our athletes' competitive spirit as they raced, jumped, and threw their way to personal bests. Meanwhile, the Klein ISD STEAM Express visited our campus, giving students hands-on opportunities to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics through interactive demonstrations and activities.

Our creative arts programs have been equally impressive this week! Our theater students have been hard at work rehearsing and bringing stories to life on stage, demonstrating their acting skills and theatrical passion. Additionally, our talented choir delivered beautiful performances that showcased the incredible vocal abilities of our students. From academic achievements to athletic pursuits, from STEAM exploration to artistic expression, this week perfectly captured the well-rounded education and diverse opportunities that make Kleb Intermediate such a special place. We're so proud of all our students for their dedication, enthusiasm, and outstanding efforts across every area!

Dear Klein ISD families,

Using your Skyward Family Access account (https://skyward.kleinisd.net), please take a moment to complete the following (if using the mobile app, switch to Desktop View):

Reminder: Klein ISD used a combination of student assessment results, classroom performance, and additional data to recommend initial course placements (ex: 6th Math, Power Reading) in compliance with Senate Bill 2124. Final adjustments will be made, and families will receive notification of their student’s course placement in June 2026.

Contact familyaccess@kleinisd.net if you need assistance with your parent/guardian login information. Please include your student’s name(s), campus, and your full name.

The deadline to make schedule changes for the Fall 2026-2027 school year is Thursday, April 2, 2026. If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor.

Our Math Department is excited to announce the initial standings for our Fact Fluency March Madness Bracket! This exciting competition is designed to help students build confidence and master their multiplication facts while having fun with friendly classroom competitions.

How It Works: 
     • Students compete in weekly fact fluency challenges
     • Classes face off against each other bracket-style
     • Each week brings new matchups and opportunities to advance
     • The goal is to build both speed and accuracy in multiplication facts

Why This Matters: Strong fact fluency is the foundation for success in higher-level math concepts. When students can quickly recall their multiplication facts, they can focus their mental energy on problem-solving and critical thinking rather than basic calculations.

Cheer on Your Student: Encourage your child to practice their multiplication facts at home! Even just a few minutes of daily practice can make a huge difference in their confidence and performance.

Go Kleb Mathletes! Let the mathematical madness begin! 🧮✨

*Check back next week for bracket updates and see how your student's class is advancing through the competition!

Parents and guardians can also support their students by talking with them about their future college and career ideas to help them choose the best courses for their goals.

3 Tardies: 1 day before/after school detention
4 Tardies: 2 days before/after school detention
