Mission: Our mission will be to provide a safe environment where all stakeholders empower students’ social and academic growth.

Motto: Level Up!

Greetings Grizzly Families! It is hard to believe that we started Quarter 2 this week! Students have been working hard in their classes and are making major academic progress each day! We are truly proud of their efforts.

We also would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU for all of your support this school year. Field Day was an absolute BLAST! Our parents and community members have provided time and resources that we are extremely grateful for. We are looking forward to celebrating our students attendance, academics, and positive behavior during Quarter 2!

Vision and hearing screenings will take place Oct. 31- Nov. 4. Please make sure your child brings their glasses/hearing aids when they come to school for those days. Thank you!

Students must be fever-free for 24 hours without the help of medications before returning to school. Using medications to lower a temperature does not make the student less contagious and can lead to illnesses being spread to other students.

Please contact Nurse Brown via email, cbrown15@kleinisd.net, if you have any questions for our GFE Clinic.

• Please place extra clothes in student's bags in case of accidents or spilled food for students in Grade K-2.
• The clinic needs a 2-weeks notice if you are bringing snacks for your child’s class. Please email Nurse Brown if you have any questions.
• Parents must drop all medications off in the clinic due to paperwork that is required.

Email gwfepto.president@gmail.com for additional info.
