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:


  • https://www.katyisd.org/GE

  • 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.
