Dear Klein ISD Local Residential Treatment Center Family
Welcome back!! We are excited about the 2018-19 school year and all that it holds for our students in Klein ISD. This letter is to ensure notification is acquired for this school year’s registration and family onboarding process for every student in Klein ISD. We embrace the promise to purpose vision for every student in Klein ISD, and in the spirit of equality, all students in Klein ISD will access the same enrollment and registration process for school enrollment throughout the school year. Our awesome Therapeutic Education Program previously assisted with the process of reviewing records and information for many of our students housed in residential centers and we are thankful for their prior efforts, yet to ensure all students are enrolled without delay and indiscriminately, all caregivers will follow the district’s registration and family onboarding process. The teams at the Therapeutic Education Program will no longer assist in the pre-registration process of screening student intake packets.
We ask that all enrollment information and registration items needed for our students be provided directly to the designated staff associated with district registrations throughout the school year. You will find information to our Klein ISD website regarding pre-registration and family onboarding here: https://sites.google.com/kleinisd.net/familyonboarding/home
Klein ISD acknowledges that many of the students you care for are under the conservatorship of the Department of Family and Public Services (DFPS) and therefore for those applicable students receiving foster care services, we request that you report the student to be a foster student during enrollment and also provide the following state agreed information during the family onboarding process throughout the school year:
- The DFPS 2085 series form(s)
- Names and contact information for the student’s DFPS worker, DFPS supervisor
- Attorney Ad litem and court ordered attorney, if applicable
- Guardian Ad litem, if applicable
- CASA worker, if applicable
- Court orders if a surrogate parent is assigned by the court
- DFPS green academic records binder
We know our community collaboration with schools and staff will provide a pathway to the promise to purpose endeavor for every student in Klein ISD. We appreciate your continued engagement in supporting students in Klein ISD.
Sincerely,
Rekina Romes
