A Fun Little Health Note from Your School Nurse!

Flu season is rolling in like it owns the place, so let’s team up and keep those sneaky germs from crashing our holidays!

Suds Up!
Handwashing is your child’s (and your) superpower. Soap + water = the dynamic duo that sends germs running. Aim for 20 seconds, hum a quick song, make bubbles, have some fun with it!

How Germs Spread (a.k.a. Germ Gossip!)
Germs LOVE family gatherings. Lots of hugs, shared snacks, and everyone touching the same things. They travel through coughs, sneezes, high-fives, and even that one cousin who double-dips.

Stay-Healthy Hacks for the Season

Wash those hands like you mean it

Cover coughs and sneezes with elbows, not hands

Wipe down handles, phones, and shared surfaces

And if someone isn’t feeling great, no shame in a cozy day at home

Let’s keep our school healthy and our holiday gatherings full of joy, not germs!

Just a few reminders…

No medication is to be brought to school by students (including cough drops and nasal sprays). If your child needs allergy medication, please medicate them the night before school or in the morning, before school. You can find more information about medications at the above link. 

The clinic is in need of donations. We are needing shorts, leggings, t-shirts, and new underwear for those that have accidents at school. 

We are also in need of rolls of paper towels. We appreciate you more than you know.

Creating an early pattern of regular attendance establishes attitudes and habits that will carry over into adult work habits. Inconsistent attendance results in falling behind in class work and class instruction making it difficult to catch up. Your child's success in school depends on having a solid educational background, one that can only be gained through regular school attendance. While some absences might seem more excusable, the impact is actually the same whether your child is sick, cutting class or taking a family trip. Some absences are unavoidable, but too many put your child at risk academically. Save absences for when it is absolutely necessary. If your child has been ill and has seen a physician for treatment, please remember to turn that note into your campus attendance office within five days of your child returning to school. If your child does not need medical attention but is out, please enter the excuse on your Family Access/Skyward account within five days of your child returning to school.

An important step toward student achievement (College & Career Readiness) is being at school every day. Attendance is critical to student academic success. In order to provide increased communication regarding attendance issues, Klein ISD works to provide prompt notification for parents when attendance issues arise in the Family Access/Skyward account.

Please contact our registrar Mrs. Stone with any questions at dstone1@kleinisd.net

Dress Code

KISD Student Handbook

The district’s dress code teaches grooming and hygiene, prevents disruption, minimizes safety hazards, and maintains a positive learning climate. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following:

• Students may not wear a military uniform to school unless it is in conjunction with a school-approved activity.

• Students may not wear suggestive or inappropriately located decorative patches, insignia, or clothing with improper advertising, pictures, slogans, or statements.

• An American or any state flag or facsimile thereof may not be attached on a garment in a disrespectful manner.

• Hats or head coverings may not be worn in the school buildings.

• Appropriate footwear is required.

• Any attire or accessory, including blankets, that is distracting, disruptive, or disturbing will not be permitted on school property. This includes outfits that are too short, too revealing, low-cut, see-through, or backless. Underwear-styled garments should not be worn as outerwear.

• Hair must be clean and groomed. Any hair style that is distracting or disturbing will not be permitted on school property.

• Facial hair must be neatly groomed and styled in a way that is not distracting.

• No paraphernalia that indicates or promotes gang membership may be worn or displayed (this may include but is not limited to bandanas, chains, jewelry, baggy pants, tee shirts, gang writing, and color codes).

• Tattoos, icons, and any other markings on the body that cannot be removed shall be covered at all times in an unobtrusive manner that is not disruptive to the instructional process.

• Students may not wear orthodontic appliances unless prescribed by a medical dentist/ dentist.

• Sunglasses may not be worn inside the building.

• Clothing and accessories that endanger student or staff safety may not be worn.

If the principal determines that a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school and return to the classroom. If the problem cannot be corrected at school, the principal will work with the student and parent to obtain an acceptable change of clothing for the student in a way that minimizes loss of instructional time. Repeated or severe offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
