Hello Kleb Family & Friends!

We want to make sure that our teachers at Kleb know how much they are loved and appreciated for all their hard work. To help welcome them back to school, we are STOCKING THE TEACHER LOUNGE with treats and goodies and would love your help to get it done! Any donations can be dropped off at the front office. As always, the Kleb PTO is so thankful for our friends & families generosity and willingness to help.

Sincerely,

Kleb PTO Hospitality

The school building will open at 8:35 am for student entry. If your students is dropped off before 8:35 am they will not be supervised which poses a safety concern. Students may be dropped off before school in the Lyons Road Parking Lot ONLY. Please remain in your vehicle and follow the car rider drop-off line, which enters by the tennis courts on Lyons Road. Parking in the Kleb parking lot is NOT ALLOWED as students would be crossing bus traffic.

Students may ONLY be picked up after school in the Lyons Road Parking Lot for after-school dismissal. Students MAY NOT be picked up in the front of the school for after-school dismissal. All car riders will exit the building by the gym entrance for pick-up. Parking in the Klein HS parking lot is not allowed and students will not be permitted to walk across the parking lot. To alleviate traffic on Lyons Road parents will make two lanes. Once you get to the cones, we will make one lane. Cars will exit airport style. Please be mindful when the Klein High School Band is practicing. For the safety of your child, please remain in your vehicle while in the car rider line and follow the directions of school staff to ensure everyone’s safety.

Please refer to the Kleb Core Matrix here.

Safety is our number one priority. All students will receive a new ID at the beginning of the school year. ID badges are required to be worn by all students at Kleb around their neck on a lanyard with the student name and photo visible. ID badges are required for the safety of all Klein ISD students. Student non-compliance with wearing ID badges will result in disciplinary action (see below). Students must be wearing their own permanent ID badge in order to get into any extracurricular activities (sporting events, etc.) ID badges are part of our dress code.

If a student does not have their ID badge when they get to school on any given day, they will need to get a temporary ID band (cost $1 each time) at the ID station in the cafeteria before school. ID consequences start over at the beginning of each grading period. Consequences are given as follows:

1st Offense:

2nd Offense:

3rd Offense:

4th Offense:

5th Offense:

6th Offense:

Additional Offenses:

*Kleb Administration has the right to adjust the consequences at any time.

Please review the Safety and Security at School information at Kleinisd.net.

No phones are allowed to be used during the school day. Cell phones will only be allowed before students arrive on campus and after students leave campus. If a parent/guardian needs to get a message to their student, they should call the school to have the message delivered to them.

• Cell phones will not be permitted in the hallway, in the classroom, restroom, or in the cafeteria.

• The expectation is that PRIOR to entering the building, students will put away their phones and headphones (wired or wireless) in their backpack and/or purse, remaining concealed until the end of the school day. Students should not have their phone in their hand or pocket. Students who fail to meet this expectation will be immediately sent to their administrator’s office with their phone to be turned in to the grade level discipline office.

• Phones that are turned into the office are required to be picked up by the student’s parent/guardian. No phones will be given back to students once they have been turned in to the office.

• Students may only wear wired headphones during instructional time, per teacher direction. No bluetooth or wireless earbuds will be allowed in the classroom or on campus at any time, as this poses a safety issue.

Tardy Definition: At Kleb Intermediate, a student is considered tardy if they are not inside the doorway of the classroom at the time the bell is finished ringing for the beginning of class.

Tardy Consequences: Tardy counts start over at the beginning of each week. Consequences are given as follows:

1 Tardy-Free

2 Tardies-Warning

3 Tardies-1 day Before/After School Detention

4 Tardies-2 days Before/After School Detentions

5 Tardies-3 days Before/After School Detentions

6+ Tardies-1 day ISS

*Kleb Administration has the right to adjust the consequences at any time.

Students more than 15 minutes late to class are considered absent without permission (truant) and a discipline referral will be submitted. If a student is consistently late to class without trying, this is not just tardy, but considered out of area or noncompliant. A tardy will be issued to the student and behavior consequences can be given in addition to tardy consequences.

Please refer to the Student Handbook here. Students who do not adhere to the dress code will face discipline based on the student code of conduct.

Any student who owes fees will not be allowed to attend any extracurricular events, including games, dances, field day, snack day, etc. Please check your student’s SchoolCashOnline account on a regular basis to pay any outstanding fees (ID fees, etc.) so they may participate in these events.

Student school bus information may be found here on the Klein ISD website.
