Beginning February 5, 2024, students are expected to make informed choices about courses that will best meet his/her educational needs. There are different formats for the core courses from which to choose:

• Academic - on grade level and designed to prepare students for high school and college

• KAP (Katy Advanced Placement) - prepare students for Advanced Placement courses (college level instruction) while in high school

• KAP/G/T (Gifted and Talented) - placement requires the student to have met specific KISD screening criteria and have been accepted into the G/T program

On the 5th Grade Course Selection Worksheet, your child will request the following courses: English/Language Arts Block, Math, Social Studies, Science, P.E., and list your top four elective choices in order of preference. Students identified as gifted may opt for a class designated as GT.
