Attendance Counts: EVERY DAY, EVERYONEKlein ISD is dedicated to academic achievement and success for all students. Regular school attendance is an essential part of that success starting in pre-kindergarten and continuing through high school. Students who are absent from school, miss out on learning. Improving student attendance is a key strategy for ensuring students are on-track to learn and will reach their full potential.

Attendance

• Please have your children at school each day. Being on time and remaining in school for the entire school day is a critical part of student success. We teach from bell to bell at Kreinhop. It is important to be in class each day as close to 8:00 as possible.

• Early Dismissals

Best day to schedule appointments would be

Monday afternoons.

From PTO…

• Please join PTO ($10). Membership supports class parties and your membership entitles you to a student directory. The membership drive is in full swing!

• PTO will have two fundraisers this year.• PTO and Kreinhop are working together.

We really need parents to support these two fundraisers.
