Hi Krahn Family,

We can't wait to see you all at Meet the Teacher Monday, August 11th from 4:30-6:00 pm.

If you are new to Krahn, please make sure you have completed your enrollment online (here). If you are a returning Cardinal don't forget to complete the REQUIRED Annual Student Information update by Friday, August 8th. Click http://www.kleinisd.net/update to start the process.

We have a few upcoming ways you can support our Cardinals starting out the year. The first is volunteering for our Bus Buddies for the first week of school. Bus Buddies is a partnership between volunteers and Klein ISD to provide assistance to elementary students to help them get off of the bus at the correct location. This program requires one "Bus Buddy" per elementary bus the first three days of school (August 13 - 15, 2025). This approximate time commitment is from 3:00 - 5:00 PM. You will need to complete your KISD Volunteer Application the process typically takes 5-7 business days. Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

For those that are new, here is a little bit more about me. I attended Klein ISD schools growing up and knew I wanted to return back here when starting my teaching career. I taught at Zwink Elementary. I served in the Assistant Principal role at Blackshear, Zwink, and Lemm Elementary before moving to Krahn. This is my 4th year as Principal at Krahn Elementary. My husband Allen and I have a daughter Brinley, who turned 1 in July.
