👋Message from Principal Wilson👋

Hello Mahaffey Families!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving break full of family and fun. Hard to believe we are just one month away from 2026!

As you head into the holiday season with your families, I wish you health, happiness, and joy. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy some special time together during the break (starting December 22nd), and we will look forward to welcoming our students' shining faces back to school on January 7, 2026!

If you’re wondering what your child’s teacher enjoys or what might make their day a little brighter this season, feel free to check out our Staff's Favorite things list. Wishing you all a warm and joyful December!

Birthday Procedures

Birthday Invitations
Parents may send invitations to teachers for distribution in the classroom. Please ensure you invite either the entire class, only boys, or only girls. We do not give out student phone numbers, home addresses, or other parent contact information. 

Birthday Snacks
While the use of non food rewards and celebrations is always preferred, Klein ISD acknowledges that there are instances when foods are used appropriately as part of instruction. Parents/guardians are allowed to provide a birthday snack for their child's birthday. The following guidelines apply to such snacks: 

The campus nurse will be given a two week advance written notice of the parent / guardian decision to provide food items to students with a list of ingredients. 

In the case of commercially prepared food, the product label must be provided, including the complete ingredient list and all information about production line exposure to known food allergens.

All snacks must be individually wrapped and packaged in a disposable container. Schools will not be responsible for parents’ personal kitchen items.

Thank you for your cooperation!

  • Prescription medications must be in the original container with the pharmacy label clearly showing the student’s name and dosage instructions.

  • Unused medication cannot be sent home with students. If you cannot pick up the medication personally, please arrange with the school nurse for another authorized adult to do so.
