  • JWE Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I contact Mrs. Poursoltan, JWE's counselor?

    The counselor is available to assist any family with questions or concerns. The most efficient way to contact her is through the use of email (barbarahpoursoltan@katyisd.org). You may reach her by phone at 281-237-7231. Please leave a detailed voice message and she will return your call as quickly as possible.

    What if my child forgets their lunch?

    You may bring your child’s lunch to the front office by 10:00 am and it will be delivered to a cart in the cafeteria before their lunch time. Please note: the front office will not make deliveries after 10:00 am, and “fast food” will not be delivered to the students. If you want to provide “fast food” for your student, you must stay and take it to the cafeteria at your student’s lunch time.

    What if my child needs to leave during the school day?

    You can check your child out at the front office for appointments. Be sure to bring your photo ID. It may take a few minutes to locate your child from specials or the playground so please allow enough time. If you take your child out prior to 10:00, please bring a note from the doctor and present it upon your return to school. This will prevent your child from having an absence. If the student has an early appointment and comes to school afterwards, bring a note from the doctor and the student will not be marked tardy for the day. Tardies and late check-ins, even with a doctor’s note, will count against perfect attendance. Students may not be checked out after 3:00 as they will be moving to their dismissal locations at that time.

    What if my child is ill and can’t come to school?

    Parents SHOULD email their student’s absences to our absence email. Please include: Student name, teacher name, date of illness, and reason for illness
    The email address is: jweabsences@katyisd.org
