Happy New Year and welcome back to school! With the New Year comes hope and excitement. At school, it means checking students’ progress and making necessary adjustments to help improve their learning. We will be starting the middle of the year MAP growth assessment for our Kinder-5th Grade students. This online test is used to measure what your student knows and how they are growing academically in Reading and Mathematics.

Please view the Klein ISD legislative priorities here. The district has created a website with an abundance of important information regarding the 89th Texas Legislative Session and how you can make a difference! We need your voice!

Quarter 2 Report Cards will be posted to Family Access on January 10th. For information on how to access Skyward Family please click here.
