              Rylander Family,                                                                                 

               

              We hope everyone enjoyed the extra day yesterday with good food and fun! Just in case you have not seen the updated cell phone/smart watches Board policy, Katy ISD has updated its cell phone/smart watches policy. Students must power down all cell phone/smart watches during the instructional day. If your student brings a cell phone/smart watch to school, please make sure they are turned off and kept in their backpacks until after dismissal. Teachers will take up any cell phone/smart watch that are in violation of this policy and parents will need to pick up the items from school. For additional information, please review the Discipline Management Plan & Student Code of Conduct page 19:

               

              Elementary students in Pre-K, K, and 1st grade shall not possess a telecommunication device during the instructional day (8:00 am to 4:00 pm), while riding to/from school on District transportation, during tutorials or detention, or while participating in a school-sponsored extracurricular activity on or off school property. For example, an elementary student performing at a PTA meeting or on a field trip to the zoo may not be in possession of a telecommunication device; however, an elementary student could possess a telecommunication device at an event open to the public (in which the student is not performing) such as at a carnival or a sporting event. Elementary students in grades 2-5 may possess telecommunication devices; however, these devices shall be turned off and not visible at all other times during the school day on school property, including on school transportation.

              Please help us by reviewing this policy with your student(s).

               

               

              Class 1:1 Reminder: Parents with students in grades 3-5 have until September 14, 2024, to purchase Chromebook insurance. If your student started school after the first day of school, you have 30 days from the enrollment date to purchase insurance.

            • PROHIBITED ITEMS & CONSEQUENCES

              Students who unintentionally bring to school a prohibited item which is not illegal, may turn in the item to a staff member without disciplinary consequences if this is done before the item is discovered or reported by a staff member or another student. This option applies only to the first time the prohibited item is accidentally brought to school. The second time the prohibited item is brought to school, the item will be confiscated, and the student disciplined according to the type of item brought to school. Parents/ guardians may pick up confiscated items which are not illegal within two school days. Items not picked up within two school days will be discarded. Illegal items and items designated as evidence will be turned over to the Katy ISD police.
