Attendance * Instruction starts at 8:00 * Students cannot afford to miss instructional time due to the structure and pacing of the curriculum * We need students here everyday, all day, so if you can avoid late arrivals or early dismissals, it would be greatly appreciated. * If your child has a fever, please keep them at home for 24 hours.

Krahn in the News Krahn has been recognized by the Houston Chronicle as one of the outstanding schools in Houston. Our students scored very well on the 2014 STAAR assessment, but we did not achieve our distinguished rating from TEA because of our attendance rate. Therefore, Krahn is working hard this year to raise our attendance rate. Students should only miss school for true illness. Please schedule out of town activities, vacations, etc., during scheduled school holidays. Missed days of instruction are difficult for students to make-up.

Daily Schedule Specials are from 2:15 – 3:00 On P.E. days, wear tennis shoes. Bosquez’s PE Days: Mon, Wed, Fri Maddox’s PE Days: Tues, Thurs, Fri Art once a week Library Day is Tuesday
