This week, our Kleb Intermediate students will participate in MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing – a valuable tool that helps us celebrate student growth and plan for future success!

Why MAP Testing Matters: MAP testing isn't just another test – it's a growth measurement tool that shows us exactly where each student is thriving and where they need additional support. These results help our teachers create personalized interventions and enrichment opportunities tailored to your child's specific learning needs, setting them up for continued academic success.

IMPORTANT TESTING DATES 

Help Your Child Succeed:

Your child's attendance on these dates is crucial for accurate growth measurement. Together, we can use these results to unlock each student's full potential!

Dear Bearcub Students and Parents:

Kleb will be celebrating our students' hard work and growth this year with various activities and celebrations, including 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade campus celebrations, indoor and outdoor games, and field day activities. These celebrations will begin the last week in May.

Throughout the year, we have communicated the Kleb Core and Matrix to our students. To ensure we finish the year strong, we are asking that all students maintain both academic and behavioral excellence. The following criteria have been established for participation in end-of-year activities and celebrations:

Criteria to Attend All Activities:

Beginning April 13, 2026:

Most of the events will feature games and activities similar to those offered in Physical Education classes. Students who do not meet the criteria above, or who choose not to participate, will have alternate activities available.

We look forward to a rewarding and successful end of the year with our Bearcubs.

Kleb Intermediate Administration
Excellence in All, For All, By All.

Please check your child’s account for any outstanding fees. Unpaid fees may affect their ability to participate in certain school events and activities including school dances.

Kleb athletes, families, and fans:

Please visit www.klebintathletics.com for Sports, Athletic Forms, Schedules, Announcements, Tickets, and more.

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

6th: Purchase permanent ID ($5), 1 day in-school suspension (ISS)
Additional Offenses: Considered major non-compliance

Kleb administration reserves the right to adjust consequences as needed.

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
6 or more Tardies: 1 day in-school suspension (ISS)

Kleb Administration reserves the right to adjust consequences at any time.

Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late to class will be considered absent without permission (truant), and a discipline referral will be submitted.

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.

Please refer to the Student Handbook [here] for our dress code guidelines. To help maintain a positive and respectful school environment, students are expected to follow the dress code.

Students may bring water bottles with closed lids to school. Please make sure the lids are securely closed to prevent spills.

To help prevent spills and keep our hallways safe from slipping hazards, please do not bring open containers or cups with straws to school. 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!
