The Paw Print #32
Week of April 8-12th
Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,
STAAR testing is right around the corner, and we have full confidence that our students are well-prepared and ready to excel. Our dedicated teachers have put in tremendous effort to ensure that each student is equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. Campus will be closed when STAAR test is happening. In addition to the academic focus, we are also excited to announce that a solar eclipse will be occurring soon. This presents a unique learning opportunity for our students to witness this natural phenomenon firsthand. Please note that there will be no school next Friday, as it is designated as a teacher learning day.
STUDENT FEES
Due to McMeans Junior High being a pilot program for student ID replacement fees, we have completed the merger of past due fees into the new system. If you see multiple ID replacement fees on the same date, it is not a mistake. These are fees that were transferred over from the old system and still need to be paid. If you receive an email, you will need to click on the link to access Pay N’ Go to pay off these fees. As a reminder, a student must have all fees paid (i.e. ID, Library) to be able to attend the 8th grade picnic or receive a schedule in the fall for the 2024-2025 school year.
New Parent ID Verification Policy
Parents:
Per Katy ISD policy, a parent/guardian must present a valid ID in order to visit the campus and/or sign your student out of school. The campus can no longer accepted paper copies or cell phone pictures of government issued identification cards (Ex: Driver’s license). If you are coming to volunteer or sign-out a student from school, please have a valid for of identification: Driver’s License or passport.
