Back-to-School
Klenk Families,
As we prepare for a new school year, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for all the wonderful things ahead. It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome back to all our returning families and a heartfelt greeting to those who are new to our school community. Our Klenk Team is committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and positive atmosphere where every student learns and grows.
We have a lot of important updates and reminders included below as we countdown to the first day of school. We are excited to begin this new school year with you and your children. I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to working with you to make this an exceptional year for our students. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we can make this school year extraordinary!
Gratefully,
Dr. Allie Martin
Principal

Wednesday, August 14: First Day of School
We will open our doors beginning at 7:45 AM. School starts at 8:10 AM and concludes at 3:25 PM. Your child's teacher will ask how your child will go home on the first day of school and beyond. Please know that there are often delays on the bus route and car pool line during the first few days of school. If your child will be a car rider, you can pick up your number at Meet the Teacher or on the First Day of School.

Bus Buddies: Volunteer Opportunity
Bus Buddies is a partnership between volunteers and Klein ISD to provide assistance to elementary students to help them get off of the bus at the correct location. This program requires one "Bus Buddy" per elementary bus the first three days of school (August 14 - 16, 2024). This approximate time commitment is from 2:45 - 5:00 PM.
