Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you may know, Covid cases are increasing in our community.  We would like to provide the families of RAE with some important information regarding staying healthy during this season as well as for other communicable diseases that may arise.

To prevent the spread of illnesses, we recommend that your child stay home from school if experiencing flu or cold symptoms. To decide whether to send your child to school, please consider the following guidelines:

Keep your child at home for treatment and observation if he or she has any of these symptoms:

• Fever‐greater than 100°F and your child should stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever. This should be determined without the use of fever‐reducing medicines (any medicine that contains ibuprofen or acetaminophen).
• Vomiting (even once)
• Diarrhea
• Chills
• General malaise or feelings of fatigue, discomfort, weakness, or muscle aches
• Frequent cough
• Lots of nasal congestion with frequent blowing of nose
• Symptoms of pink eye as some strains of Covid have caused conjunctivitis       

To help prevent illnesses, teach your children good hygiene habits:

• Wash hands frequently
• Do not touch eyes, nose, or mouth
• Cover mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing. Use a paper tissue, throw it away and then wash hands
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick

For additional information please contact your healthcare provider or campus nurse.

Thank you,

RAE Administration and Nurse Amanda

Dear StingRAE Parents:

We had a great first day of school.  Please see attached our arrival/dismissal procedures.  We are also including the car rider arrival/dismissal map and infographic to help.

As a reminder, today was the only day parents can walk their students to class.

Thank you for taking the time to review our procedures to ensure the safety of all in our school community.

Sincerely,

Your RAE Crew

Katy ISD’s Raptor safety protocol will require volunteers to register (or re-register) annually thus creating a new volunteer profile each year.

PSAT/NMSQT IS NOW DIGITAL!  
Katy ISD Administration Dates:    
10^th grade: Wednesday, October 11, 2023    
11^th grade: See below chart for specific campus testing date. 

The PSAT/NMSQT™ is a standardized test administered by the College Board and National Merit Scholarship Corporation. It measures the reading, math, and writing skills needed for college and career success in today's world. The PSAT/NMSQT™ provides valuable information to parents and students on student potential for advanced academics in high school. Juniors who score well may qualify for National Merit Recognition and Scholarships.   

Beginning in the fall of 2023, the PSAT/NMSQT will be making a full transition from a paper/pencil exam to a digital exam. The PSAT/NMSQT digital test is shorter, has more time per question, and comes with a built-in DESMOS graphing calculator. Sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT/NMSQT^® at their home campus free of charge. Students can prepare for this exam by reviewing the information at Preparing for the PSAT/NMSQT and reviewing the PSAT/NMSQT Student Guide. The College Board has partnered with Khan Academy^® to provide free SAT online practice. Additional parent and student information about the PSAT/NMSQT can be found on the Katy ISD website.  

Listed are the PSAT/NMSQT Campus Testing Dates.
