We have a few exciting things to share before we leave for the holiday break:
- Children's Museum will be here on Thursday for our Title I Family Night.
- Students may wear their cozy pajamas to school on Friday, December 15th.
- Students will dismiss at 12:20 on Friday.
Teachers/staff return to school: Tuesday, January 2nd.
Students return to school: Wednesday, January 3rd!
We wish you a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones.

We are proud to announce the 5 winners that will represent MRE with their rodeo art.
KISD District Judging will take place on December 11th. This will determine which art pieces will represent Katy at NRG for the 2024 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Your child will have the opportunity to purchase holiday gifts for friends, family, and teachers at low prices.
Prices range from twenty-five cents to sixteen dollars. To make it easy, you can purchase GIFT CERTIFICATES online for your child. This allows students to make purchases without keeping up with cash!
As we approach the holiday season, our teachers are beginning to prepare for our annual winter parties at MRE. The Winter parties will be held on Friday, December 15th. Because this is an early dismissal day, we will need to limit the parties to students only.
No lunch visitors on December 15th (early dismissal)
