We miss our Leopards when they are not here!
Please try to have your child at school everyday.
Attendance is taken each day at 10:00. If your child is not present at that time, they will be counted absent, unless you have a note from a physician. It is important that you report your child's absence in Skyward. Skyward has an app that is very user friendly. You can download it by visiting your App Store.
The tardy bell rings at 8:10. If you child arrives after 8:10, you will need to park your car and sign your child in at the Front Office.
Early dismissal cut off is 2:30. If you are needing to change transportation please email bdc@kleinisd.net no later than 2:30 pm. You will need to park your car and sign your child out for any Early Dismissal.
Annual Student Information Update
Please go to skyward and complete the annual update. It is very important that we have up to date information on every student.
ASIU: Students enrolled in a Klein ISD school during the 2021-2022 school year are automatically re-enrolled for the 2022-2023 school year.
All parents of returning students MUST complete the Annual Student Information Update in Skyward for each student between July 18-August 5. It is important to update your Skyward information each year to ensure that in the case of a school emergency or the need to send parent notification, we have the correct phone number and email address.
Meet the Counselor
A little about me:
Hi Leopards! My name is Kim Walla and I am super
excited to start my 5th year as Counselor and my 15th
year in Education. I grew up in Klein ISD, attended
Texas A&M for my undergrad and my Master’s
degree program. I previously taught Kindergarten, 1st
grade and 3rd grade at Benignus and in Cy-Fair ISD.
I’ve been married to my husband, Bryan, for 5 years.
We have 2 daughters, Parker and Peyton. I enjoy
spending time with my family, traveling, and reading.
My Role:
As a School Counselor, I am here as a support person who works with all students, staff, and
families. My role is to help promote both academic and social-emotional growth of all
students. I provide many different services throughout the school year. I teach guidance
lessons in the classroom, see students on an individual basis, and work with students in small
group. I am also available to provide resources to parents and families.
If there is anything you or your child needs as we begin the new school year please reach out
by phone or email.

Meet the Librarian
Hello! I am Leane Krause and I’m
privileged to begin my fifth year as
the Librarian at Benignus! I grew up
in Klein ISD, attended The University
of Houston, and obtained my
Masters Degree from Texas Woman’s
University. In my spare time, I love
to travel and take care of my crazy
little dogs, Coco and Phoebe!
This will be my 13th year teaching
and I am hoping to make it my best
year yet! Students will get to check
out books, participate in
Makerspaces, and learn lifelong skills
to promote a love of learning and
literacy!
