Pies for Teachers
We are asking parents to sponsor a pie (or two) for $20 each so that we are able to treat every teacher on campus. When you sponsor a pie for a teacher, they will receive a gift certificate to select a House of Pies pie for the holidays. Gift certificates will be delivered to the teachers boxes mid November.
A small portion of the proceeds will go back to our PTA! Click HERE to purchase.
Countdown: ONLY 93 MORE PIES NEED TO BE SPONSORED!!!!

Calling all Katy ISD Vollunteers
VOLUNTEERS & RAPTOR REGISTRATION
Katy ISD is excited to announce the implementation of the District’s Raptor Volunteer Initiative for the upcoming school year. Beginning October 1, the district will require all volunteers serving on campus during the instructional day to register with the district through its Raptor security system.
Raptor ensures quick and easy volunteer registration allowing individual volunteers to create and manage a personal volunteer profile. In addition, the Raptor Volunteer Initiative will:
- Provide an additional layer of protection for Katy ISD students, staff, volunteers, and campus visitors.
- Unite all district volunteers into one Katy ISD volunteer community.
- Measure and communicate the positive impact of Katy ISD volunteer organizations.
- Submit and track hours via their volunteer profile for every Katy ISD campus at which they volunteer.
- The system also provides quick and easy submission of individual off-campus volunteer hours.
Join our volunteer community and register today!
