Klonopin is a benzodiazepine which SOMETIMES shows up in a urine drug test. Sometimes it does not. There is nothing you can do to affect this drug once it is in your system. You can consider disclosing this ingestion to your supervisor, though because it was not prescribed to you I can't guarantee they will be okay with that.
