S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Golf Event
Some of our Brill Broncos had an amazing time at the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Golf event at The Woodlands Country Club! âłď¸ Through this community-based learning experience, they practiced new skills, built confidence, and enjoyed a fun day of putt-putt with peers and staff. Weâre so proud of their participation and the joy they brought to this special event!
Campus Visitors
Visitors should ring the doorbell located at the front door of the school in order to notify the front office staff of your arrival.
Visitors will be asked to present their IDs to the camera before entering the building.
Visitors should ensure that only they enter the building and the door closes behind them. If another guest is waiting to enter, please don't allow them to enter with you as they need to go through the same process before coming inside.
Once inside, visitors should report to the main office to check-in and receive their visitors badge. Visitors are asked to remain in the areas noted on their badge.
Students will not be released to visitors during school hours without a photo ID, thank you for understanding and for helping us to keep our Broncos safe.

Classroom Food Treats- 2 Weeks
Please note that any classroom food treats that are brought to campus must be cleared by the nurse two weeks prior to serving the students. The clinic will need an ingredient list sent to them with the child's homeroom so that they may screen it for allergies. You may also order a treat through cafeteria by visiting Klein's Food Service. Thank you for understanding. If you would like to bring something sooner, we recommend non-food items such as pencils or stickers.
Personal Electronic Communication Device Reminders:
As we prepare for the start of the school year, we want to make sure our families are informed regarding a new state law, House Bill 1481, that was recently passed by the Texas Legislature.
Beginning with the 2025â2026 school year, this new state law prohibits students from using personal communication devices during the instructional day while on school grounds. This includes cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, earbuds, and any other device capable of digital or telecommunication.
What This Means for Our Students
Students may bring personal communication devices to school, but they must be turned off, out of sight, and stored away in their backpack, pocket, laptop sleeve, or other personal belongings while on school grounds from the first bell to the end of the instructional day, including during class, passing periods, lunch, and recess.
The law requires disciplinary consequences for the use of personal communication devices during the instructional day while on school grounds. Exceptions are provided for students covered under a Section 504 plan or an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that includes personal communication devices as an accommodation. Access will be permitted as outlined in their individual plans.
Communication and Support
The majority of our schools implemented similar personal communication device expectations for students last school year and found that their students were less distracted, resulting in more focused learning environments and increased positive face-to-face interactions for students and staff.
Prior to the first day of school, we encourage you to discuss this new Texas law with your children and emphasize the importance of focusing on learning throughout the school day. School leadership will also communicate to students the expectations and consequences for failing to keep personal communication devices off and out of sight when they return to school.
Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to ensure a positive, safe, and focused learning environment for all students.
Attendance Procedures
Regular school attendance is essential for a student to make the most of his or her educationâto benefit from teacher-led and school activities, to build each dayâs learning on the previous dayâs, and to grow as an individual. Absences from class may result in serious disruption of a studentâs mastery of the instructional materials; therefore, the student and parent should make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences.
Did you know you can now report an absence in Skyward? Click HERE for more information.
Any student who is absent for the whole day is required to submit in Skyward one of the following within 5 days of their absence(s):
- Parent Note
- Message through Parent Skyward account
- Original medical note (copies or altered notes will not be accepted)
- Faxed notes must be sent from physicianâs office
- Court note
- Official note for observance of approved religious holy days
New this Year:
The front office is only able to submit Doctors Notes for absences. All other absences must be logged by the parent through Skwyard.
Bronco Five
As we begin this year with a continued focus on safe and disciplined schools, I want to remind all our families about Klein ISDâs student behavior expectations. It takes staff, students, and families working together to promote the good behavior we expect to see in our school.
Klein ISD has a Student Code of Conduct to promote a safe and disciplined learning environment for every student that will be strictly enforced on our campus. Therefore, please review with your family these standards of conduct along with the disciplinary consequences for infractions.
We take great pride in creating safe learning environments for our students and staff members. The overwhelming majority of our students are model citizens. We expect every student to take responsibility for contributing to a positive school environment, and we will not tolerate disruptive or disrespectful behavior. Our administrators and staff members are committed to actively monitoring hallways and restroom areas to ensure the safety and well-being of all students.
Safety is everyoneâs responsibility, and I ask you, as parents, to partner with us by speaking with your children about appropriate behavioral expectations to ensure a positive learning environment in our school.
I also encourage you to take a look at our Keep Klein Safe website (https://kleinisd.net/keepkleinsafe). If you or your child see or hear something that is a safety concern, itâs critical that you report it. Our Klein ISD Police Department is here 24/7 to keep our students, staff, and community safe and take these reports seriously. Additionally, our school administration is here to serve and support students and they are available anytime during the school day to answer questions and support all efforts for student safety and success.
Thank you for your partnership and for working with us to help every student achieve success and find their purpose.
Note from the Nurse:
Student Illness:
As cold, strep and flu season progresses, we are in that time of year when many students are coming down with upper respiratory symptoms. These include nasal congestion, cough, sore throat, headache, and possibly fever.
Please be aware that Klein ISD requires that students be excluded from school for a fever of 100.0 or higher and they may not return to school until they are fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
Temporarily masking a fever with medication does not change the fact the student is in the contagious period of an illness and may be spreading the illness, like the flu, to others by coughing, sneezing, and touching surfaces.
While we value student attendance, it is important everyone plays their part in keeping the spread of illness to a minimum by following this rule. Please also make sure your contact information and emergency contacts are up to date with the Registrar so that you can be reached in the event your child is ill and must be picked up from school.
NEW Medication Guidelines:
If your child will need a medication while at school, there has been a change to Klein ISD procedures. Medications will need a written order by a licensed healthcare provider. Clinic staff will not be able to use the prescription label as proof of the written medical order, as in the past. The licensed healthcare provider can use the Klein ISD Medication Authorization form, an action plan, or a letter from their office to provide their signed consent. If you have any questions, please contact our school clinic.
Also please contact the clinic for any student needing an action plan.
Ex. Action plans may include the following:
- Asthma
- Allergy to foods
- Diabetes
- Seizures
