Message From the Principal
First, I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for your patience and generosity towards our teachers and staff members, as we all adjust to a different start to this school year.
I understand how difficult it has been for everyone to adjust to all the new changes. However, I commend each one of you for the unending support you continue to give your students in this virtual learning process.
Please know that you and your families are not alone. We are all in this together! We will persevere no matter what challenges we face.
I hope you all have a safe and much deserved, restful weekend with your loved ones!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ann Lalime

Beginning September 28 through December 11, 2020 KVA CTE labs will be opening before and/or after school for lab instruction. All CTE KVA students enrolled in the courses listed below are required to attend the minimum number of labs a week. In-person labs may be assessed and calculated as major grades.
If a student fails to attend the required labs, his/her semester grade will be negatively impacted and may result in a failing semester grade. CTE teachers will be communicating the weekly in-person schedule with you and your student. Transportation will not be provided.
Important Message from the Nurse
Hello Sabercats!
As we near the start of face to face instruction, we want to remind all parents whose children need medication administered during school hours or have emergency medication to be kept in the clinic, that we need all required forms filled out by their physician and filed in the clinic. Please contact me if you are unable to find the forms on the Katy ISD website.
We are setting up appointments to bring medications and forms to the school next week between 8/31/20-9/4/20. Parents MUST have an appointment to be able to come on campus and meet with the nurse. Call or email with your preferred date and time.
Lastly, Katy ISD’s immunization requirement deadline has been extended to 9/8/20. Please ensure your child is up to date on immunizations. If they are not, please help us by getting their immunizations as soon as possible and send the record to us via fax or email before the deadline. If you need vaccine clinic resources, give us a call and we will help provide those resources.
We are here for you and can’t wait to see our students’ faces soon! Call for ANY questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Tessa Gonzales, RN and Nidia Espino-Vasquez, MA

HAC reflects changes immediately when they are made. FAQ’s about Home Access Center, including access instructions, can be found at http://www.katyisd.org/Documents/Home%20Access%20Center%20FAQ.pdf.
Changes are noted in Canvas the day following the schedule change as updates to Canvas are made nightly. More information on accessing Canvas can be found at http://www.katyisd.org/Documents/Home%20Access%20Center%20FAQ.pdf.
