  • Tips for Navigating

    ALWAYS, ALWAYS bring your Original Government Issued ID when you come into school. Pictures on phones and copies of any documents will no longer be allowed. We are video monitored by the Katy ISD Police Department to make sure we are checking identification for each and every person that enters the school to ensure the safety of your child and our staff. Therefore, we are unable to let you into the school without proper identification.

    The doors open at 7:50a.m. and children are expected to be seated in their classroom by 8:10. Please note that children are not allowed to enter the building until the 7:50. bell, (unless they are signed up for a morning program).  Please allow your child enough time to walk into the building and get to class before the bell rings.  Please have your child ready to exit the car when you are in position to unload.

     ** If a child is late, please park and walk them in for a tardy slip. 

     Please be on time to pick up your child at 3:20 PM.

    Cut-off time to make a transportation change is 2:40p.m. We are unable to accept changes of transportation by phone, therefore all changes must be in writing. Changes of transportation can be sent:

    • with your child in their daily folder,
    • hand delivered to the front office,
    • by email to WECOT@katyisd.org,
    • faxed to 281-644-1620 (copy of parent driver’s license is required for transportation changes sent by fax or email).

    Please include the following information:

      1. Child’s full name,
      2. Date,
      3. Teacher’s name,
      4. bus number, car tag number, Walker
      5. parent signature.  

    NOTE: Each family is assigned a car tag number. 

    Checking out your child from school.  Our schools are funded based on many factors, one important one being attendance.  It is always in the child’s best interest to be in school a full day, but we know that is not always possible.  If you need to check your child out for doctor’s appointment, dentist, etc. towards the end of the school day, it must be done before 2:40 p.m.  After that point it becomes more difficult to enter the campus due to the car rider line as well as having a hard time locating the child once they enter the dismissal areas of the school. 

    Per Katy ISD Policy, we will no longer be accepting birthday treats (food, gift bags, birthday invitations, etc.) Teachers will recognize birthdays within the classroom.  You may wish to recognize your child’s birthday by purchasing a spot on the marquee or by signing up your child for the birthday book club.

    Lunches must be dropped off at the front desk with students' name, grade level and teacher. Please make sure your child’s name is on all lunch boxes, water bottles and clothing. (These items will be donated at different times during the school year if not picked up.)

    Lunchtime is a time to promote student independence and peer relationships.  Please try not to use this time as a special occasion, (such as a grandparent leaving after a weekend visit). This sometimes upsets the child, thus making it difficult for the teacher to get the student back on task for learning.  Additionally, we strongly encourage parents to limit their visits to the cafeteria.  We are very limited on seating and need to provide everyone an opportunity to eat with their child.

    Student Work
    Please look at your child’s folder nightly for important information.  Typically, most information is sent home on Wednesday, but occasionally information may come home another day.  Forms of communication from the teacher and school are through Remind, Emails and Newsletters are sent by the school weekly.

    Weather
    Please plan ahead for rainy/cold weather by sending jackets and umbrellas. If your child is a biker/walker and there is a chance of bad weather, our campus will send out a text or phone call to inform you we are having a rainy day dismissal. Your student will need to be picked up in the car rider line.
