Krahn Newsletter

Hello Krahn Family,

It has been a fantastic kick-off to the school year! Your kids have been working hard to learn their routines and procedures while also diving into beginning of the year assessments and learning. We hope you will join us for Open House on September 19th for more information on what to expect for your child's learning this year. .

We love to partner with our families to make it a great experience for our students. Please see below for ways to support at home with family curriculum guides or ways to volunteer to help the school. In September, students' learning will take off. Please continue to encourage students at home and ask them about what they are learning.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or the school office. We are here to support you and your child. I am looking forward to an amazing school year.

Thank you,

Laura Hall

Interim Principal

Granny? Paw Paw? Abuelita? Grams? Whatever you may call your grandparents, we want to celebrate them this week! Let’s show our grandparents some love to celebrate National Grandparents Day! Bring a printed picture to hang in the cafeteria lunch line on our grandparent collage on Thursday September 5 or Friday September 6 and get a free cookie with your school lunch! Limit of one picture per student.

Please note the following start times:

• 7:40 Klein Breakfast available in the cafeteria

• 7:40 Students may enter the building

• 8:10 Tardy Bell/Instruction Begins

• 3:25 Dismissal

If your child will be dropped off after instruction begins at 8:10, you must park and walk your child into the building. Parents will need to sign their child in on the tardy sheet.

If your child rides the school bus, please take action and download the SMART Tag Parent APP to ensure your child arrives to school and home safely.

The SMART tag Parent App allows parents to

• View their student profiles and assigned routes.

• Monitor their student's riding activity.

• Sign up to get notified when their student gets on/off the bus at their home stop and school.

• Sign up to get notified when the bus is arriving at their home stop.

• Manage guardians authorized to receive their student at their PM drop-off stop (for the primary parent in Skyward only).

• Website: Kleinisd.net/curriculumguides

  The Family Curriculum Guides are resources designed to help guide parents through the content and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills your children learn throughout the school year. They provide information by grade level for each quarter and include:

  • Key concepts and skills students are expected to master for each subject

  • Questions to ask your child

  • Tips on helping students learn at home

  • Additional tools for success

Mastering basic math facts helps your child be able to tackle more difficult math problems. Please help us at home by trying the activities below so your child can practice every day.

The Gifted and Talented Referral Window is open from Sept. 1st - Sept. 30th. If you child is not currently identified as G/T and you would like to have them tested to see if they qualify for services, please use the following link to submit your referral.

Purpose Starts Here

At Krahn, we believe that students’ “Purpose Starts Here.” With an intentional focus on building relationships, character development, and innovative academics, Krahn commits to providing a quality education for EVERY student.

• Focus on Your Impact
• Lead with Resiliency
• Ignite Joy
• Go by the Golden Rule
• Help Serve Others
• TAKE FLIGHT

As a way to set students up for success we implement PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support). This system is a proactive support while preventing unwanted behaviors through positive reinforcements while building relationships. A school wide incentive we implement is the Cardinal Cart. This cart is filled with items students can purchase with their Cardinal Cash bi-weekly.

We had our first visit to the Cardinal Cart last Friday. It was so exciting to see students be motivated to make good choices and earn a positive reward for that hard work.

**If you would like to donate, you may access our Cardinal Cart Amazon wish list here

Our number one priority is to always keep everyone safe here at Krahn. Our new Campus Guard, Officer Williams is joining us this year in order to achieve that goal. We are grateful Officer Williams has joined our family.
