Technology Update...Klein ISD
Please keep personal computers at home. See information below...
Due to the impairment of content filtration and the lack of security mitigation, students will no longer be permitted to use their own personal devices on campus. Teachers/admin staff are requested to please take the personal devices away from the students and keep them until the end of the day, when the student can pick them up and take them home.

There are 2 different grant opportunities! HEB Excellence is for Teachers and Staff nominations. The Texans/Chevron is just for Teacher nominations. Please take a moment to nominate your fellow staff for this awesome opportunity! Click on the picture for more information.
