          • Physical/Hard Copy Government-Issued Identifications

            As Katy ISD continues its review of safety practices and protocols, it's essential to stress the significance of physical/hard copy government-issued identifications for accessing campuses/facilities, student registration, and student pickup. The district is strictly enforcing this requirement and will no longer accept paper or digital copies of driver's licenses, visas, and passports at any of its campuses or facilities, for these purposes. Katy ISD greatly appreciates the community's cooperation with these safety procedures and the ongoing partnership to maintain safe and secure environments across campuses. 

             

            Identificaciones físicas/impresas emitidas por el gobierno

            A medida que Katy ISD continúa su revisión de las prácticas y protocolos de seguridad, es esencial enfatizar la importancia de las identificaciones físicas/impresas emitidas por el gobierno para acceder a los campus/instalaciones, el registro de estudiantes y la recogida de estudiantes. El distrito está haciendo cumplir estrictamente este requisito y ya no aceptará copias impresas o digitales de licencias de conducir, visas y pasaportes en ninguno de sus campus o instalaciones, para estos fines. Katy ISD aprecia enormemente la cooperación de la comunidad con estos procedimientos de seguridad y la asociación continua para mantener entornos seguros en todos los campus.

          • 2024 Paraprofessional of the Year

            Congratulations to Ms. Day, our 2024 Paraprofessional of the Year.  Ms. Day is known for her dedication and enthusiasm, but more importantly, for the support that she provides students in the classroom day in and day out.  She is very intentional in her role, and she is able to adapt to any challenge.  She is admired for her enthusiasm for helping students, combined with seemingly infinite patience.  She is truly a rockstar paraprofessional!   When you see Ms. Day, please congratulate her on this recognition.

          • Student Safety Survey

             

            Senate Bill 2050, passed during the 87th legislative session, requires school districts to collect information annually through student surveys on bullying/cyberbullying and use the survey results to develop action plans to address student concerns. All Katy ISD students in 4th-12th grade are invited to participate in an online survey administered by K12 Insight.

            K12 Insight manages online surveys for school districts nationwide, safeguarding the confidentiality of participants’ responses. Students will be prompted to enter their student ID numbers solely to verify student participation by campus and grade level in an effort to maintain data integrity. K12 Insight will not provide Katy ISD or any outside party with data that connects a participant to his or her survey responses.

            During the survey window of February 20th – March 8th, a date will be selected for students to complete the survey during their Reading Language Arts (RLA) class.  RLA teachers will be notified of any students who have opted out of taking the survey.  We encourage your child to participate as their feedback is important to us and is valuable for campus planning.

            Participation in the survey is voluntary. Parents and guardians may opt their child out of participation by logging in to MyKaty and selecting the KISD Option Portal icon. The opt-out deadline is February 9, 2024.

            Click here to review the survey https://www.katyisd.org/Page/10092

          • Vaccine Update for 6th Grade Parents

            Is your child 11 years old? Has it been 5 years since their last DTap? If you answered yes to one or both questions, your child should be eligible to receive their MCV4 (Meningitis) vaccine and/or Tdap Booster. State law requires one dose of the meningococcal conjugate (MCV4) vaccine and a dose of the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine for students in 7th-12th grades. The full vaccine requirements for 7th grade students can be found on the DSHS Immunization Unit website at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/. We also want to remind you to get your child’s vaccinations early— before the busy back-to-school season. Getting your child vaccinated not only protects your child’s health, but also that of the community.

            We will distribute $30 Colt Cash to our 6th graders that provide the clinic a copy of their updated vaccine record that includes both vaccinations. “Colt Cash” is a campus incentive system in which students can trade their “cash” in for prizes.  Students will have until Friday, December 15th to receive $30 Colt Cash. After this date, any records turned in will receive $15 Colt Cash.

            Let’s prep early for 7th grade to begin the 24-25 school year on the right foot!

            If you have any questions about vaccines, please consult your healthcare provider. You can also email the clinic nurse kristinediaz@katyisd.org or clinic aide gabrielamrivas@katyisd.org a scanned copy of your child’s records. Please remind your student to visit the clinic to pick up their Colt Cash should you decide to email. If you have any questions, call us at 281.234.0626. The clinic is open M-F 8:20p – 4:20p.

            Thank you for your help with this and continuing to keep your child and our community safe!

            Tutorial Late Bus runs begin this coming Tuesday, September 5th. To help us in assisting your students to determine their tutorial bus run and modified bus stops, please review the following attachment with your child at home as a resource to prepare your child for staying for tutorials and knowing their routes and modified stops. 

             

            Resource Guidance:
            Page 1 includes all stops in a 2-column format for Tutorial Bus #1 and Tutorial Bus #2. Pages 3, 4 and 5 include the modified bus stops mapped out. Poster sized copies will also be placed around our school for additional support. Also, tutorial teachers, after school detention teachers, and study hall teachers have been provided this same resource to aid your child while at school.

            Together, with all these layers, we will be successful in providing every student a safe ride home. Please contact Assistant Principal Tamara Meldahl with any questions.
