Eligibility Report/Progress Report #2
Presidential Warning System Test
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has postponed and rescheduled the nationwide test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) for Wednesday, October 3, 2018. FEMA and the FCC will conduct a nationwide test of IPAWS and its Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to (1) assess the operational readiness of the infrastructure for distribution of a national message and (2) determine whether improvements are needed. The WEA portion of the test will commence at 2:18 p.m. ET, and the EAS portion will follow at 2:20 p.m. ET. This test message will be sent to cell phones that are connected to wireless providers participating in WEA, which is why it is important to make state and local education agencies aware in advance.
***Learning time will likely be disrupted***

Klein ISD is going to Space!
We are ready to LAUNCH—literally--into our first Innovation Challenge this year! We wrote and won a grant and are very excited to be one of the districts selected to participate in the Students Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) Space Shuttle Competition. Teams of 3-5 students in grades 5-12 will design an experiment showing the effect of gravity being turned off in a system. Each team will need one educator-sponsor to facilitate, but the research, ideas, and written technical proposal should come from our brilliant students.
If you’re interested in this Innovation Challenge and want more information:
- Please fill out the Interest Form.
- You will receive an access code to join the informational Schoology course once you submit the form.
- Once reviewing the information about the program in Schoology, you can sign up if you want to be a sponsor and list your student team members.
- This form, with the names of your team members, is due by September 17. (And teachers of our younger learners, don’t worry! There’s a related innovation challenge coming your way soon…more information in a future Exchange.)
Relationship Driven: #purposefulkindness
If we can create a community where no one is left behind and seen as an outcast, then we can focus on helping one another and building up each other’s strengths, allowing our world to be better for EVERYONE. Imagine the things our community can accomplish when everyone comes together and works towards a common goal.
~Klein Cain Culture4Caring Student Director Brayden Espinosa (You can read the whole awesome post here.)
PASS IT ON- honor your students and colleagues with a note. #purposefulkindness note cards can be found in any of the grade level offices, the front office, and in the teacher's lounge.
Results Focused: PRIDE
Click HERE for the PRIDE site on the Doerre Dashboard for all things Pride (calendars, resources, lesson plans, etc)
A Pride activity for today has been posted on the Doerre Dashboard.
- The PLC’s will decide who they need for intervention and/or enrichment for PRIDE and send the student names to the department chairs who will then send one list for the department to their specialists.
- Each teacher will claim students on the PRIDE lists.
- The priority calendar will work like this: 3 weeks math, 3 weeks ELA, 1 week science or S.S. or Electives.
- In October, teachers will fill in their offering choice by Monday (study hall will be offered through athletics, so we do not need any more options for study hall)
- Students still need to pick their Friday choice during Pride on Wednesdays.
- Students will be sent an email on Friday with their PRIDE schedule for the following week. Please still communicate with your students about where they are going.
