We have had several reports of parents driving too fast in the staff parking lot this semester. Unfortunately, we have even had some “close calls.” Before and after school drop-off and pick-up for YMCA and clubs, please be extra aware as this is often when staff and their children are most likely to be in the lot.</p></li><li style="text-align:left;"><p>We have noticed heavy drop-off lines before school between 7:50 and 8:00. Please help us combat tardiness and ensure all students are in the classroom and ready to learn by dropping off your child with enough time to get to class and settle (7:35-7:50). Please encourage your children to ride the bus if eligible, carpool with a neighbor, and/or walk you child to school if you live close. </p></li><li style="text-align:left;">Please note that the entire loop leading up to the front of the school is considered a Fire Lane and should not be parked along anymore. The curb has been painted to reflect this new change. If there are no available visitor parking spots in the front of the school, we invite you to either park in the staff parking lot or in the street.</li><li style="text-align:left;"><p>With the colder weather, we have seen an increase of unexcused tardies in the morning. Please remember, all students who enter the building after 8:00am are considered tardy and will need parents to check them in. We are also seeing an increase of early checkouts in the afternoon. At times, students may have doctor appointments and some unforeseen circumstances. With that said, your child benefits from being here all day. Please keep in mind that tardies/early checkouts mean that there is more classroom interruptions, which distracts from the flow of instruction. If your child leaves early or is tardy, he or she is not benefiting from a full day of instruction, which in turn could cause them to fall behind. We are here to partner with you to ensure that your child succeeds in school. Having a routine that allows them to be on time and present for every class greatly benefits your child. Thank you for partnering with us to making the most of your child's learning.</p><hr /></li></ul><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://katyisd.instructure.com/files/7602470/download?wrap=1" alt="Multicult.

I want to give you an idea that I know any one of us would love. Just write to your teacher and let him or her know how you feel. Tell them the ways they have positively impacted your child and/or your family. Let them know you appreciate them. The people at the school chose a profession that they knew would not pay well and that is largely met with criticism. Why would anyone do that? They do it because they want to impact the world. They do it out of passion. They do it out of love. When you tell them how they have impacted you and your family, you feed their soul. It's free and it only takes a little effort. Make their day and write them how you feel. If you email, cc me and that will be the icing on the cake for them and me. My address is: <a href="mailto:ronaldrmosher@katyisd.org" style="text-decoration-line:underline;margin-bottom:0px;">ronaldrmosher@katyisd.org</a>.

Please remember, all students who enter the building after 8:00am are considered tardy and will need parents to check them in. We are also seeing an increase of early checkouts in the afternoon. At times, students may have doctor appointments and some unforeseen circumstances. With that said, your child benefits from being here all day. Please keep in mind that tardies/early checkouts mean that there is more classroom interruptions, which distracts from the flow of instruction. If your child leaves early or is tardy, he or she is not benefiting from a full day of instruction, which in turn could cause them to fall behind. We are here to partner with you to ensure that your child succeeds in school. Having a routine that allows them to be on time and present for every class greatly benefits your child. Thank you for partnering with us to making the most of your child's learning. </p><hr style="margin:20px 0px;border-right-style:initial;border-right-color:initial;border-left-style:initial;border-left-color:initial;border-top-color:#c7cdd1;border-bottom:none;color:#2d3b45;font-family:latoweb, "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:#ffffff;" /><p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:12px;color:#2d3b45;font-family:latoweb, "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:#ffffff;text-align:center;"><span style="margin-bottom:0px;font-size:14pt;"><strong style="margin-bottom:0px;">Bullying Prevention and Intervention Resources</strong></span></p><p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:12px;color:#2d3b45;font-family:latoweb, "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:#ffffff;"><span style="margin-bottom:0px;">Katy ISD is pleased to share information with parents regarding our district-wide bullying prevention and intervention resources.

moved to the cafeteria. We have many (and we mean many!) lost and found items such as jackets, water bottles and lunch bags. If your child needs to look for a lost item, they will need to check during lunch. Parents are welcome to check the Lost & Found during the school day. You would need to come to the office with your ID to sign the Visitor Log and obtain a Raptor Badge. The Lost & Found is donated to charity regularly so please have your child check soon after the item is lost. The next donation will be on December 21, 2018. <span style="margin-bottom:0px;">TIP</span>: Mark your jackets, lunch kits and water bottles with a first and last name.

Due to the size of our student population and schools, preparing students and staff to respond to active events and threats is imperative. One of the trainings being provided to elementary students this year is called “Run, Hide, Fight.” Similar training is being used by school districts and law enforcement agencies nationwide. Below is a description of the training that will be provided in Katy ISD elementary schools.</p><ul style="padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:6px;margin-left:25px;color:#2d3b45;font-family:latoweb, "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:#ffffff;"><li style="margin-bottom:0px;">Elementary<ul style="padding-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:25px;"><li>Students will rely on and follow the direction of their trained teachers in the execution of the Active Threat response strategy (Run, Hide, Fight).</li><li>Schools execute “LOCK DOWN” drills in which elementary teachers rehearse how they will respond when alerted to a threat being inside or outside the campus.</li><li>During scheduled drills, students will rehearse how to prepare in the event of a threat in the school. However, the extent of defining the threat to elementary students will be limited to “stranger/danger” or a dog in the hallways, depending on the age/grade level of the students.</li><li style="margin-bottom:0px;">We encourage parents to discuss these topics with their students as they relate to schools as well as environments/locations outside of the school building.</li></ul></li></ul><p style="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:12px;color:#2d3b45;font-family:latoweb, "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:#ffffff;">While Katy ISD views this training as beneficial in preparing elementary students to be better aware of their surroundings and to respond to an active threat in school as well as other environments, We understand that maturity levels do vary.

Due to the size of our student population and schools, preparing students and staff to respond to active events and threats is imperative. One of the trainings being provided to elementary students this year is called “Run, Hide, Fight.” Similar training is being used by school districts and law enforcement agencies nationwide. Below is a description of the training that will be provided in Katy ISD elementary schools.</p><ul><li style="text-align:left;">Elementary <ul><li style="text-align:left;">Students will rely on and follow the direction of their trained teachers in the execution of the Active Threat response strategy (Run, Hide, Fight).</li><li style="text-align:left;">Schools execute “LOCK DOWN” drills in which elementary teachers rehearse how they will respond when alerted to a threat being inside or outside the campus.</li><li style="text-align:left;">During scheduled drills, students will rehearse how to prepare in the event of a threat in the school. However, the extent of defining the threat to elementary students will be limited to “stranger/danger” or a dog in the hallways, depending on the age/grade level of the students.</li><li style="text-align:left;">We encourage parents to discuss these topics with their students as they relate to schools as well as environments/locations outside of the school building.</li></ul></li></ul><p>While Katy ISD views this training as beneficial in preparing elementary students to be better aware of their surroundings and to respond to an active threat in school as well as other environments, We understand that maturity levels do vary. Therefore, the AVOID (RUN), DENY (HIDE) and DEFEND (FIGHT) training video will NOT be shown to elementary students by the district. However, staff will be trained using the video and teachers will conduct emergency drills using strategies demonstrated in the video.</p><p>We are providing a link to this video for parent education and for use by parent(s) to show their student should they so desire.<br>Elementary video - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6YjDmAnafQ&t=4s" data-preview-alt="SAUSD Run Hide Fight (Elementary School)">SAUSD Run Hide Fight (Elementary School)</a><br>These videos are also offered to our volunteers who spend many hours on our campuses.

Student Support Annex Named after Jeanne Coleman	http://www.katyisd.org/Lists/latestnews/DispForm.aspx?ID=978	Student Support Annex Named after Jeanne Coleman	2018-11-15T21:37:33Z	<div class="ExternalClass397D9F9DF93B47F2A738A74FE84B9D31"><p><span style="text-align:justify;"> </span><span style="text-align:justify;">Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees approved to name the Student Support Annex the "Jeanne Coleman Student Support Annex."</span><span style="text-align:justify;"> </span><span style="text-align:justify;">The annex, recently known as "Creech University", served as the temporary campus for displaced Creech Elementary students and staff following Hurricane Harvey.</span><span style="text-align:justify;"> </span><span style="text-align:justify;">The facility, which is now property of Katy ISD, will house the District's Early Childhood Testing, Work-Based Learning Program, Speech Therapy Testing, Vision Impaired and Braille staff, Occupational and Physical Therapy, Licensed Specialist in School Psychology and other special education related services.</span><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">Jeanne Coleman is well known in the Katy ISD Family for her passion and leadership skills. She began her educational career as a speech-language pathologist and worked for 13 years in two different school districts. Coleman was hired by Katy ISD in 1998 where she worked as a speech-language pathologist at Nottingham Country Elementary (NCE). A year later, Coleman was promoted as an instructional officer. Her role soon expanded to include the provision of speech therapy services for secondary students at the Opportunity Awareness Center and the Behavior Transition Program. She also coordinated district-wide speech therapy, adapted physical education and related services for occupational therapy, physical therapy, music and art therapy.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">She worked tirelessly on establishing eligibility guidelines for the district, overseeing assessment teams and establishing service program guidelines, all while maintaining federal, state and local guidelines. While in this role, her responsibilities continued to grow in size. Coleman became responsible for the supervision and administrative responsibilities for roughly 120 direct hires and contract speech-language pathologists. She also took on the instructional services for the visually impaired population throughout the district. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Coleman's passion continues today for children with special needs as she advocates on their behalf to help them achieve their goals. Coleman retired in 2016 with 31 years of dedication and service to students and parents.<br></p><p><img src="/PublishingImages/Lists/latestnews/AllItems/Jeanne%20Coleman%20headshot.jpg" alt="Jeanne Coleman headshot.jpg" style="margin:5px;width:419px;" /><br></p></div>

Superintendent Lance Hindt will continue to work closely with Mr. Gregorski and the Board until his retirement this January. </span><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">"My fellow Trustees and I believe that Katy ISD needs a leader who will continue to support the high quality leadership within, maintain our standard of student excellence, and advance the groundwork that has already been laid," said Board President Courtney Doyle. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Under Dr. Hindt's leadership, Katy ISD schools have taken the top spots in a number of regional, state and national rankings, graduation rates continue to trend upward each year, and students have consistently outperformed their peers across the state. During Hindt's tenure the district also implemented its first ever strategic plan, and developed and passed a $609 million schools bond. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Mr. Gregorski has 26 years of experience in public education, which includes roles as a classroom teacher, assistant principal, principal, assistant superintendent and deputy superintendent<span style="text-decoration:underline;">.</span></p><p style="text-align:justify;">The Katy ISD Board of Trustees continues to review and discuss options for its superintendent search. As this is the most important decision a school board makes, no definitive timetable has been set for the process at this time.<br></p><p><br></p></div>

Katy ISD Reaches Historical Goal of Enrolling its 80,000th Student!!	http://www.katyisd.org/Lists/latestnews/DispForm.aspx?ID=975	Katy ISD Reaches Historical Goal of Enrolling its 80,000th Student!!	2018-12-03T15:52:38Z	<div class="ExternalClass5A748F759DCB42329829082C02EE7D43"><p><span style="text-align:justify;">Expecting to end the year with an enrollment of 80,000 students, or fairly close to it, Katy Independent School District has reached this monumental milestone two months prior to the end of 2018. Davidson Elementary third-grader Christopher Morcos was the lucky student. He never expected his first week of school to be such an unforgettable experience. Christopher received a warm welcome by Superintendent Lance Hindt and other district officials. He was also recognized with several Century of Legacy gifts to celebrate the meaningful occasion. The celebration comes precisely when Katy ISD is commemorating 100 years of educational excellence. </span><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">"We are very excited about the continued growth here in Katy ISD. It is always great to welcome students and families to the proud traditions and exciting future here in Katy ISD," said Dr. Vonda Washington, assistant superintendent for school leadership and support. "Gaining our 80,000 student while celebrating a legacy of 100 years dedicated to learning is remarkable," added Washington. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Though Christopher was born in America this will be his first time attending a school in the United States. Just this week, the Morcos family moved from Egypt to Katy, Texas. For them, finding a good school home for their son was a top priority. "I did my research and everyone recommended Katy ISD as the best school district," said Peter Morcos, Christopher's father. "We decided to move into Katy and look for a house in this area so that we are able to go to a Katy ISD school," added Morcos. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">It's been no secret that families are moving west of Houston into what was known as a small suburb. Communities zoned to the district have been flourishing at outstanding rates making Katy ISD one of the fastest growing school district, not just in Texas, but in the nation. The quality of education offered in Katy ISD classrooms has attracted families from all parts of the world to what is now being called a destination school district. </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="https://youtu.be/hy4wlNcTpIg" title="Katy ISD Reaches Historical Milestone of Enrolling 80,000 Students!"><img src="/PublishingImages/Lists/latestnews/AllItems/110918_KDE_80000%20Student%20in%20Katy%20ISD.jpg" alt="110918_KDE_80000 Student in Katy ISD.jpg" style="margin:5px;width:393px;" /></a><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ugakv368u3txdq2/AAD8v6dOSjy4DCep3cH0TjJ4a?dl=0">Photo gallery of 80,000th student celebration for newscasts and publications.</a><br></p><p><br></p></div>

Katy ISD State of the District Presented to the Community	http://www.katyisd.org/Lists/latestnews/DispForm.aspx?ID=969	Katy ISD State of the District Presented to the Community	2018-11-01T13:48:54Z	<div class="ExternalClass4033FAFC70404CEEA7707BA19666C838"><p><span style="text-align:justify;">If a snapshot of Katy Independent School District was taken today, what would it look like?</span><span style="text-align:justify;"> </span><span style="text-align:justify;">As Katy ISD celebrates 100 years of providing unparalleled learning experiences, on October 26, Superintendent Lance Hindt spoke to the Katy ISD community and its staff regarding how far the District has come.</span><span style="text-align:justify;"> </span><span style="text-align:justify;">Katy ISD is proud to announce that not only this year, but in the past 100 years there have been several memories, milestones and accomplishments that speak volumes of one the fastest growing school districts in the nation.</span><span style="text-align:justify;"> </span></p><p style="text-align:justify;">"Katy ISD staff, principals, department heads, teachers, along with the thousands of other employees will continue to do everything in their power to provide the best education and access to unique learning opportunities today, and for generations to come," said Superintendent of Schools Lance Hindt. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">One of the hardest hitting obstacles Katy ISD faced in the past year was brought on by Mother Nature. Hurricane Harvey affected 16 campuses, including Creech Elementary, which was completely destroyed. Employees at the Education Support Complex were also displaced for several months. Despite the challenge, the District grew stronger and more united after this storm allowing for the passing of a Bond and continued implementation of several strategic design goals. </p><p style="text-align:justify;">"Strategic design discussion and input led to the creation of eight goals based on seven overarching beliefs, a learner profile and learner outcomes," said Ken Gregorski, Deputy Superintendent of Katy ISD. "We are now in the second year of our five-year plan," added Gregorski.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Katy ISD is one of 447 districts nationwide and in Canada recognized on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Roll for increasing access to AP coursework while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning a passing grade. Our students also excelled in the annual Katy ISD Livestock Show and Rodeo with nearly 465 projects, which totaled more than half a million dollars in sales. Additionally, the District earned an "A" letter grade in the TEA's new accountability rating. Katy ISD was the largest school district, with close to 80,000 students to receive this grade.

We are systemically improving our performance overall! We don’t strive for recognition. We simply strive to do what we believe. In other words…have integrity.

Katy ISD Participates in National Prescription Drug Take Back Event	http://www.katyisd.org/Lists/latestnews/DispForm.aspx?ID=955	Katy ISD Participates in National Prescription Drug Take Back Event	2018-10-05T20:35:48Z	<div class="ExternalClass73E2AE27FF3541F58B10767ED0BD9B25"><p><span style="text-align:justify;">The Katy ISD Police Department in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public an opportunity to safely dispose of potentially dangerous, expired, unused and unwanted prescription medications. According to the DEA, pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor's supervision. Needles or sharp objects will not be accepted and any liquids must be in prescribed containers. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.</span><br></p><p style="text-align:justify;">"Many families could be harboring dangerous prescription drugs in their own medicine cabinet without even knowing it," said Katy ISD Police Chief Robert Jinks. "Not disposing of these medications creates an easy access for students to obtain and abuse this types of prescriptions. Through the drug take back program residents have a better and safe option to dispose of these items," added Jinks. </p><p>Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Last April, Americans turned in 309 tons (over 617,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at nearly 5,500 sites operated by the DEA. </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>What:</strong><strong> <br></strong><strong>National Prescription Drug Take Back Event</strong></p><p><strong>Where:</strong> <br>Mark L.
