Attendance
When a student’s absence for personal illness exceeds 5 consecutive days, the student must return to school with a Doctor’s note.
Texas State guidelines state that a student who has been absent for a total of eight (8) cumulative days or more will be required to bring a note from a physician verifying the illness.
School attendance is essential and we are required to monitor attendance by the State. Excessive absences will require further monitoring. When your student is absent, you must report the absence to our attendance clerk daily. To report an absence, go to the Golbow website and fill out the Absence Reporting Form. This form is required each day your student is not in attendance at school:
Absence Reporting Tab
Complete Form/Submit
Send documentation (doctor’s notes, etc.) when your student returns. Be sure your first and last name is on any documentation sent to the school.

KISD DISCIPLINE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
The 2023-2024 Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct was approved by the Board of Trustees on Monday, July 31st.
Important changes include:
- Mandatory disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) placements for first-time offenses of e-cigarettes or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). (Students are no longer sent to the DAEP “on the subsequent vaping infraction” due to legislative changes in HB 114 that add e-cigarettes and THC as specific mandatory placements.)
- Added permissive placements to the DAEP for:
- Engaging in multiple assaults,
- Engaging in a significant health or safety hazard, or
- Violating the District’s safety and security expectations.
- Dress for Success visual to assist students, parents and staff in understanding dress code expectations.
Parents and students should review the Discipline Management Plan to be aware of the campus and District behavior expectations as well as the potential consequences.
NEW SMART TAG ID SYSTEM- 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEARThis school year, a new SMART Tag bus rider ID system will be rolled out across Katy ISD school buses to help monitor the ridership of eligible bus riders. The system will enable parents, bus drivers, and school administrators, to review in real time, when and where a student is picked up or dropped off by a school bus. Student identification (ID) cards for eligible riders will include the SMART Tag ID information. Buses will be equipped with a tablet that will read each student’s ID every time they enter and exit their bus. Parents and guardians will also have access to the SMART Tag Parent Web Portal — a cloud-based platform that will enable them to monitor their student’s ridership and bus route. Parents and guardians of eligible bus riders will receive additional information about the Smart Tag ID system via the email address they have on file with the district. The Smart Tag ID system replaces Katy ISD’s Edulog Lite App. The parent portal is live https://parent.smart-tag.net/Home/SelectDistrict Parents will need their student’s ID number, birthdate, and campus name. o Parents who need assistance with SMART tag can email SmartTagHelp@katyisd.org o The Katy ISD website has quite a few good resources for parents. https://www.katyisd.org/Page/10104 Campus Code: 05378025 | Student Information If you are looking for your student’s Katy ID, their ID and other pertinent information can be found on the student’s ID badge. It is located under the bar code and begins with an alpha character. Additionally, the Katy ID can also be found by logging into Home Access Center (HAC). Click on the Registration icon – Demographic Tab and locate the field called Student ID. | STUDENT BADGES REMINDER: Every student ID badge includes a unique student ID number that is used to check out library books and textbooks, to purchase food items in the cafeteria, to permit passage to certain club meetings, and to provide easy identification of students in common areas of the school. Secondary students must wear their ID badges at all times during school hours, while on school property. If a student loses the ID, a replacement must be purchased promptly from the designated school office/location. Failure to follow these procedures may be considered a violation of the Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct. For more information regarding student ID badges, please review the Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct. |
