We are a tiger family
Hello Epps Island Families and Happy March!
This past week, Governor Abbott issued Executive Order GA-34 rescinding the statewide mask mandate and opening Texas businesses to 100% capacity effective this Wednesday, March 10, 2021. Klein ISD is currently reviewing the Executive Order and seeking guidance from the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
As we have done so successfully all school year, Klein ISD will continue to follow current TEA health and safety guidance. All safety protocols will remain in effect until further clarification is obtained. Klein ISD thanks our school community for your continued patience and understanding.
Remote Learning Days
Friday, March 12, 2021 is a district-wide day of Remote Learning (Learning from home) for ALL students.
Our teachers are working harder than ever to teach students both in-person and virtually. To support our teachers in providing a positive learning experience for your children, one area in need of immediate attention is additional planning and preparation time for our classroom teachers. To that end, we are designating the following dates as Remote Learning Days:
Friday, March 12, 2021
Friday, April 16, 2021
On these Remote Learning Days, Klein On Campus students are strongly encouraged to learn remotely on these days and will receive a packet to work on at home. Klein On line students will also receive a packet or assignments on Schoology in an asynchronous format (not live Zoom.) Students who attend school on these days will be monitored by teacher assistants and required to complete the same work as students in remote learning.
On campus learning will be available for parents who request it by filling out this RSVP form:

All students must turn in completed assignments at the end of that day in order to be counted present on these Remote Learning days.
