Hello, Coyotes! We hope that this Back to School newsletter finds everyone rested and full of great summer memories. We are excited to be starting the 2022-2023 school year next week! We cannot wait to see all of our returning students and staff, and we are thrilled to be welcoming our new students and families!
Our Kohrville Chronicle will be published each month and is full of helpful information to keep our community informed.
- All Klein ISD families of returning students need to complete the Annual Student Information Update by Friday, August 5 to ensure that they have a smooth start on day 1!

This will provide us with the necessary information to register them and assign a homeroom teacher. Please note that all new students must complete this process and upload all required documents or the Registrar's office will NOT be able to process the application. If you have any questions, please reach out to Leah Elmer at 832-484-7200 or come up to the campus between the hours of 8:30am-Noon and 1:00pm-3:30pm.

PARENTAL RESPONSIBLITIES/RIGHTS - CUSTODY ISSUES
The school district does not have the obligation to contact the managing conservator when the possessory conservator requests permission to review the child’s records and/or consult with the teacher.
Any conflict between two parents should be handled outside the school.
The school district should be advised of any limitations of contact that may be established in the divorce decree; i.e., a visit with the child exclusive of a review of the records, etc.
Please assist us in the handling of custody related issues. It is the responsibility of the parents to provide the campus registrar a certified copy of the court order affecting any other person’s right to their children.
Should you have any questions please call Ms. Kia Bowie at 832-484-7200.
MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL
All medication whether prescription or over the counter must be delivered to the clinic by a parent or guardian. Please contact the nurse’s office to schedule an appointment to drop off medicine. Prescription medications must be in the original container with prescription label. Most pharmacies will provide you with an extra bottle when you fill prescriptions if you ask them. Over the counter medications must have a dosage for the child by age or weight and can only be given for 2 weeks without a doctor’s note. Unused medication cannot be sent with the student. If the parent or guardian cannot pick up medication you may make arrangements with the nurse for another adult to pick up medication. No vitamins, health food, or herbal preparations may be given.
ATTENDANCE
- In the event a student is absent from school for any reason, it is required that their parents log in to their child’s Skyward account to report the absence.
- Or on their return to school they can bring a written excuse signed by the parent/guardian or a medical note.
- In order for the absence to be considered an excused absence, the note must be presented within five school days after the absence.
- We will be strictly adhering to all Texas state compulsory attendance laws.
