Attendance, Attendance, Attendance
It is important to have your child at school everyday. If they miss a day of school, they are missing vital classroom instruction.
Attendance is taken each day at 10:00. If your child is not present at that time, they will be counted absent, unless you have a note from a physician. It is important that you report your child's absence in Skyward. Skyward has an app that is very user friendly. You can download it by visiting your App Store.
Visitor lunch coming soon!
Visitors may start attending lunch on September 4, 2023. This will ensure our leopards learn the Café procedures.

Arrival/Dismissal Reminders
Arrival Reminders:
1. If your child is eating breakfast, please drop them off in the front of the school by the cafe.
2. Please stay in your cars at all time.
3. Do Not switch lanes once you have entered the car rider line. That is a safety issue and we want to keep all students safe.
Dismissal Reminders:
1. Stay in the same lane you start, do not cross the white line. The lanes are the same in the afternoon, they are all K-2.
2. Stay off your cell phone while in a school zone, this includes texting.
3. Have your car tag hanging in the rear view mirror with your child/children's name and grade level.
4. If your child needs assistance in buckling their car seat, please park in a parking space after your child has gotten in the car. This will help with the flow of traffic.
4. If you have a child absent, please continue to pick siblings up in the same dismissal area.
5. Please make sure that your child is picked up no later than 3:45 pm.
6. If your child is a walker, you are no longer allowed to pick your child up in the parking lot by car. You may walk to pick your child up by the gym and walk them home.
Thank you for your support in keeping our Benignus community safe.
Update student enrollment
Please go to skyward and complete the annual update. It is very important that we have up to date information on every student.
ASIU: Students enrolled in a Klein ISD school during the 2022-2023 school year are automatically re-enrolled for the 2023-2024 school year.
All parents of returning students MUST complete the Annual Student Information Update in Skyward for each student by August 23rd. It is important to update your Skyward information each year to ensure that in the case of a school emergency or the need to send parent notification, we have the correct phone number and email address.
Ask your child about Beni Bucks
Our school is participating in an important district initiative called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS includes school-wide procedures and processes intended for all students and all staff in all settings. Our Benignus Leopards earn Beni Bucks daily for showing their SPOTS behaviors. Students can then spend their Beni Bucks on Beni Cart passes and items or through classroom reward menus.
Beni Bucks can be cashed in for the follow passes that may require items from home:
-wear a hat
-bring a stuffed animal
-wear your pajamas to school
-show and tell
Ask your child about SPOTS and how they show our Core Values at Benignus.
