October Chapel Offerings

This month's offering will go to the Adopt-a-Family program here at Trinity Klein. This program assists families in the community with hardship by providing them with Christmas gifts. The gifts help families to experience Christmas joy and the love of Jesus during the holiday season. 

5th grade will have another opportunity to lead chapel on October 29.

Winter Sports Information

All athletes need to have a baseline Impact test, a physical and athletic participation forms on file to participate in sports.  Please see our athletic requirements for more information regarding rules and regulations.

Swim

Swim is for boys and girls in grades 5 - 8.  Swim will begin practice the week of October 27.  Although coach Greg Kam is not able to be at the Oct 21 Winter Sports Parent Meeting, Jillian Gifford, who runs the school side of the swim team, will be there and able to share information and answer questions..
The practices are held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM, then students have the option of being taken home to get ready for the school day, or come to campus and use the showers in the FLC Fitness room to get ready for school pending proper supervision is secured.

Basketball

For Basketball, students must attend both days of their tryouts for a fair evaluation of everyone involved in the process. In the event of illness or injury, please notify me. Tryouts are closed to spectators; only players, coaches, and evaluators will be allowed in the gym or on the walking track during tryouts.

We anticipate fielding a Girls A team (primarily 7th and 8th), a Girls B team (primarily 5th, 6th and 7th), and a Girls C team (5th and 6th).  

For Boys basketball, we anticipate having 3 boys teams. There will be a Boys A team (primarily 7th and 8th), a Boys B team, and a Boys C team that will compete in the HAPS league.  Other teams may be formed, although the level or name of those teams cannot be determined until we know how many boys commit to playing basketball.

If your 1st-8th grader is interested, parents should complete a Google Form PSIA Registration by October 27 to indicate which event(s) their child might like to try. Starting in November or December, most events offer a weekly coaching session before or after school, led by a parent or teacher “coach.” Performance in the coaching sessions or on practice tests determines which students will represent Trinity at the district competition held at Trinity on Saturday, February 28, 2026. The top 1 or 2 students from each event at District advance to the State Competition, which will be held at Texas State University in San Marcos on Saturday, May 2, 2026.

 If you have questions, please contact Kim Schleicher at schleicherk@trinityklein.org.

Dress Code

The 2025-26 Dress Code Regulations can be found HERE.  Policing dress code takes time away from the teaching and learning that we value at Trinity Klein.  Please review the dress code linked above and ensure that your student is coming to campus dressed in accordance with those standards each day. We need your help to make our current dress code work! 

• • You can order Trinity Polos or uniform-style bottoms online at Flynn O'Hara Shop or visit their store front in Houston. 

5th Grade Homework Expectations

Homework is a very important part of TKLS education.  Your child will have homework and quizzes weekly.  Our homework calendar will let you know assignments, quizzes and tests that are coming up and when they will be due.  Please help your child to get in the habit of carving out time to study and complete homework.   We do offer daily study halls for students who find it difficult to complete work or study at home.  If assignments are turned in late, you will receive a notification and 10 points will be deducted from your child's grade for that assignment.   A link is also located in the Resource Documents section.

How to Access Clever from Home

The easiest way to access Clever (at home OR school) is via a student’s “Clever  badge” (a QR code that students should keep in their binder). There is an alternate method if the badge is unavailable. See steps below:

1. Go to www.clever.com 

2. Click “log in as a student”

3. Search for “Trinity Klein Lutheran School, TX”

4. Click “Clever badge log in” (along right side)** (See below if you don’t have a badge or it doesn’t work.)

5. Hold Clever QR code (should be in students’ binder, on a lanyard) up to  your computer camera.

6. You should now see all of the educational apps that have been loaded for your child. The most commonly used app will be Google Classroom.

**If you don’t have a Clever badge, you can “sign in with Google.” You will use your child’s Trinity email address (firstname.lastname@tkeagles.org) and password.  Note that the email address uses the full first name, not a nickname. 

**If there is a problem with access in Google Classroom, start by double checking that your child is logged into Google through their Trinity account. (HINT: Look for the profile picture near the nine-dot “waffle” when you are on Google. Many times parents will see that Google has defaulted to their account or to their child’s personal account. Your child’s profile picture for their Trinity account should be their first-name initial. When you hover over the profile picture, it should show your child’s Trinity email address. If it does not show, click the profile picture and click “add account” to enter your child’s information.
