Dress Code Information
Some of the most frequent infractions that we spoke with numerous students about in the first few days of school were inappropriate graphics/slogans on t-shirts, crop and low cut tops, and shorts/skirts that were too short to be in compliance with our district dress code.
Beginning Monday, students that are out of dress code will be asked to change clothes to be in compliance. Please take some time to review the dress code pictured below.
Student Parking 2021-2022
We are still in the process of handing out student parking stickers. Do not worry if you have not received your parking sticker yet. Students will be able to park on campus until all parking stickers are given out without any violations. Students should continue to park in the front of the main building in the back section by thee road. Until you receive your parking sticker, do not park anywhere else on campus.
Click here to review student parking permit directions. When your sticker is ready to pickup the Junior Office will contact you.
Students are required to pay $40 for a student parking permit if they plan on parking on campus. Student parking registration is now open.

Updates to the Discipline Management Plan
Updates for 2021-2022
The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved the 2021-2022 Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct on Monday, July 26. A summary of the changes can be found here. Two significant changes include:
- Students who engage in a second offense related to vaping or paraphernalia (selling, giving, delivering, possessing, using, or being under the influence) regardless of the substance, will be recommended to the District’s Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP), the Opportunity Awareness Center (OAC).
- Students who are in possession of synthetic or look-alike drugs will also be recommended to the DAEP.
Parents and students should review the Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct each year to be aware of behavior expectations and potential consequences.
Katy ISD appreciates partnering with parents to ensure all students can attend alcohol, drug, and vape-free campuses. Student safety and academic success is our number one priority!
