Developing Independence Help your child gain confidence and develop important life skills: • Organization skills • Accountability • Preparing for the next day • Chores • Bedtime – adequate sleep affects academic performance and emotional state “Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire.” ― John F. MacArthur Jr.

  9. Attendance • We were disappointed that Kreinhop did not meet our attendance goals last year and it hurt us in many areas. This year we have set new goals and are working hard to meet them and need everyone’s help. Please have your children at school each day. Being on time and remaining in school for the entire school day is a critical part of student success. We teach from bell to bell at Kreinhop. It is important to be in class each day as close to 8:00 as possible. • Early Dismissals

  10. From Mrs.Trammell… • Reminder that class placements are always tentative and often have to be adjusted after the first 10 days of school to adhere to the 22/1 ratios. • This year one of our campus goals is for all students to participate in hands on science labs weekly. There is a giving tree in the front hallway to help stock the science lab with needed materials. Feel free to take a leaf, purchase the item and return it to the front office. • October 8th – Kreinhop’s Curriculum Night

  11. From PTO… • Please join PTO ($10). Membership supports class parties and your membership entitles you to a student directory. The membership drive is in full swing and if our class wins for the grade level, we get a pajama day and bragging rights. • Please sign the “PTO/Room Parent Information” sign-up sheets by the door. You will then receive emails from our Room Parent or the PTO about upcoming events. Signing up does not obligate anyone to volunteer or serve as the Room Parent. It will be the only way the Room Parent will know which parents have students in their class. Of course, anyone interested in serving as the Room Parent is welcome to put an asterisk by your name or write “Room Parent” out in the margin and the Room Parent Coordinators will follow up with you.

  12. Communication Mrs. Brown jbrown4@kleinisd.net 832-484-4739 Mrs. Snyder tsnyder1@kleinisd.net 832-484-7430 Please call to schedule conferences. We will not answer phones during the instructional part of the day. You are welcome to leave a message or send an email. Our Conference/Planning Time is 10:00 – 10:45 daily (except for Mondays)
