Remote Learning Day

Our teachers are committed to providing quality instruction for our students and are working harder than ever to teach students both in-person and virtually. To assist in this work, one area in need of immediate attention is additional planning and preparation time for our classroom teachers.

We will have the following teacher planning days, which will be a Klein Online remote learning day from home for all students to address the need for additional planning time for our teachers.

Teacher planning days are as follows:

  • Thursday, February 11, 2021
  • Friday, March 12, 2021
  • Friday, April 16, 2021

Teachers will create packets (one assignment per subject) to be completed independently for the Klein On Campus students who are working remotely. Klein On Campus students are encouraged to access assignments online or use the packet provided by teachers. Klein On Campus students that need to come to campus on February 11th will be monitored by a paraprofessional. Buses, breakfast and lunch will be provided. Klein Online students will remain online and access assignments as usual, but please note that there will not be live instruction.

Please note, for all students, homeroom and classroom teachers will not be available for instruction as they are planning with support staff throughout the day.

Please begin to make arrangements for February 11th. If your child needs on-campus care on February 11, 2021, please complete Benignus RSVP Link Thank you for your continued support of our campus and school district. Please let our staff know if you have any questions.

Valentine Parties

Valentine Parties will be on 2/10 and there will be dress up days all week; parents will not be invited to attend. No cards will be exchanged, but a snack, drink, and activity will be provided.

Families, if you receive an overdue/lost book notice via email, please do not panic! If your child has returned the book(s) please email lkrause1@kleinisd.net and we can check the shelves and get it officially checked back in if it’s found. If you still have the book(s), please return them on your child’s next library day and we can renew them if needed. This is a new feature and we appreciate your help! If you have a book that has been lost or damaged, please let me know and I will add a partial charge in School Cash. Please do not purchase a replacement. Please email lkrause1@kleinisd.net with any questions or concerns.
