Tips for Navigating

ALWAYS bring your physical driver’s license or passport with you when you come to school. We are video monitored by the Katy ISD Police Department to make sure we are checking identification for each 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.

Our doors open at 8:10 a.m. We’ve found that having our “Explorers in by 8:20 a.m.” has been a great help in making sure they are in class ready to learn prior to 8:30 a.m. Please have your child ready to exit the car when you are in position to unload. Your child is encouraged to exit on his/her own, if capable. If your child is not in his/her classroom by the time the tardy bell rings (8:30 a.m.), he/she will be sent to the front office for a tardy slip. **If you arrive at the school after our morning duty staff have gone in, please park and walk them in to the front office doors for a tardy slip.

Likewise, please be on time to pick up your child. The teachers and staff are off contract at 4:05 p.m.; therefore, we do not have anyone to stay late for those children who are not picked up on time.

Please make sure your child’s name is on all coats, jackets, backpacks, and lunch boxes. These items will be donated at designated times throughout the school year if not picked up.

If you plan to check out your child early, please do so prior to 3:00 p.m. but after 9:55 am. (This would be considered an early checkout for attendance purposes.) Our schools are funded based on many factors, one important factor 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 a doctor’s appointment, dentist, etc. towards the end of the school day, it must be done before 3:00 p.m.

The Change of Transportation link is online on the Wolman Website. Changes of transportation can also be (1) e-mailed to the front office with a copy of the parent or guardian’s driver’s license to rjwetransportation@katyisd.org (2) hand-delivered to the front office. Change of transportation requests must be received no later than 2:00 p.m. on regular days and 11:00 a.m. on early dismissal days.

Please report absences online before 10:00 a.m. on our Wolman website under the Families/Absence Reporting. You may also call our front office on (281) 234-1700. Teachers are busy teaching our Explorers and therefore not able to relay your phone or email message to the attendance clerk.

We understand emailing the teacher is the easiest form of communication. However, it is not acceptable for changes in transportation, reported absences, or early checkouts. You can always email the teacher a “heads up”, but please know that the teacher doesn’t always have time to check email before or during class.

Plan ahead for rainy/cold weather by sending jackets and umbrellas. (Please write your child’s name on all jackets and sweaters). Children who are bikers/walkers may want to keep a rain poncho in their backpacks. If your child is a biker/walker and there is a chance of bad weather, please make it easy on yourself by submitting the online change of transportation with your child, making him/her a bus or car rider.
