P. E. Happenings
CUP STACKING
Dear Parents,
We are really excited about the Sport Stacking unit we are currently doing in PE. Sport Stacking is an exciting sport where students stack and unstack 12-specially designed cups (Speed Stacks). Sport Stacking uses both sides of the body and brain developing important athletic and academic skills.
One of our goals, as Physical Educators, is to promote activity at home through positive alternatives to computers, televisions and video game screen time. We believe that Sport Stacking is a unique, fun and simple activity that motivates kids to get up and move.
We have Speed Stacks Sets and StackMats for students to purchase here at the school with an added benefit of raising funds for our PE program. Here’s why you should participate:
- Sport Stacking is healthy for kids.
- Sets are $20.00. Pro Series 2 sets are $25.00. StackMats (mat, timer and gear bag) are $25.00. You pay no shipping, PLUS, the school will earn a percentage of your purchase in equipment for our PE program.
- Speed Stacks Sets and StackMats are available for immediate purchase. ‘First come, First served’ on color and design choices.
Act now, I have a limited supply of colors and quantities. I plan to close our New Group Order on February 20th. All orders must be paid with a credit card. To purchase your student’s Speed Stacks Set and/or StackMat, go to this link, choose your school and place your order. www.speedstacks.com/go/ After you place the order, print out the receipt and have your student bring the receipt to me to pick up their item(s). Please encourage your student to have a second choice in mind since it is ‘First come, First served’ on color and design choices.

Link will close February 20th.
Sincerely,
PE Teachers
Thank you for supporting our Physical Education Program!
SPIRIT NIGHT!
Early Dismissals and Transportation Changes
Car Line Reminders
All students are picked up at the front porch. Please do not use cell phones while moving through the carpool line. Please be mindful that we load many cars at one time. Keeping your carpool tag visible helps us load cars more quickly. Once all cars are loaded, you will be motioned to move forward. Thank you for your cooperation. If you are late. . . Your student(s) will be waiting for you in the front office. You must sign them out with the front desk.
Thank you for your cooperation and help, as we work to keep all of our Racers safe.

Absence Reporting & Electronic Gradebook: Skyward is a Wonder!
Good attendance is of prime importance for the educational development of each student. A student should not be absent unless it is absolutely necessary. It is mandatory that written notes be submitted to the Attendance Office within 5 (five) school days of the absence. If the Attendance Office does not receive documentation from the parent or a physician’s office by hand delivery, online, or fax within 5 (five) school days of the absence, the absence will remain unexcused.
We are no longer able to accept emails about student absences. All Klein ISD campuses will accept digital parent notification of absence online through Skyward. To report an absence, please go to Skyward Family Access. When you log in through Skyward, click on "Attendance" and click on "Absence Request" at the top right of the screen. A small dialogue box will appear showing request history. In order to add an absence, click "Add Request". A new dialogue box will open where information about the absence can be entered. The calendar will let you choose the dates in the past/future. A comment box also allows you to describe the nature of the absence. All fields are required. Once you click "Save" the entry is then sent to the attendance office for review and approval. You will be able to check the status of the request to see the outcome. Click HERE for a brief handout on how to report an absence.For more helpful tips on using Skyward, please click here: https://kleinisd.net/cms/one.aspx?pageId=1973215

Box Tops For Education
French collects Box Tops For Education. Each paper “coupon” is worth 10 cents.
The item code and valid expiration date MUST be visible or it will not be admissible.
Box Tops For Education is also going digital.
Download the BoxTops App
Within two weeks of a store purchase, upload your receipt to the APP for credit for the Box Tops purchases.
Why is the program going digital?
Companies that participate in Box Tops must set money aside to cover EVERY Box Top coupon they have on products. These often have expiration dates several years out. Going digital allows them to know how much money they will pay out, without having to hold on to the money for several years.
