Welcome Back!
I hope all of our Tiger Families had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and are looking forward to finishing the semester strong! We have 3 weeks before the end of the fall semester. I have included the finals schedule for student and parents to begin planning studying for finals on top of all of the other events we have that happen during this very busy time. We have basketball and fine arts performances on the calendar, and I know our students are excited to showcase what they've learned during the first half of this school year.
It is important for students and parents to be informed on grades, as the six weeks will end sooner, due to the finals schedule, and we want all of our students to be prepared.
Let's have a great week, and GO TIGERS!
Mrs. Lowery
NEED INFORMATION ON KAP CLASSES?
The Katy Advanced Program (KAP) provides students with an opportunity to engage in above-grade level coursework in the areas of math, science, language arts, and social studies. KAP courses are available beginning in 6th grade and are open to all students. Every student is encouraged to take at least one advanced level course in an area of interest. The district will host a KAP Awareness Night via Zoom on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at 6:30PM. This is an opportunity for parents of students in grades 5-6 to learn about KAP prior to course selections. Parents of students who are considering KAP courses for the first time should plan to attend.

Eighth Grade Dance Sponsorship Information
Katy Junior High is preparing for it’s annual “send-off” of our 2022-2023 8th grade class. It is an exciting end of the year event that will feature activities, music, photography and refreshments for the students to enjoy! This event is sponsored by The Katy Junior High PTA, at no cost to our students.
We are excited for this event, as it allows us to celebrate the students. Katy Junior High School values our community’s involvement and appreciates your support. Any donation provided by you is greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged on the night of the dance.
We Love our Volunteers!
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
