Ensemble students should arrive by 5:30 for the evening performance and report to the music rooms.

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
