OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE OFF TO A GREAT LAUNCH DURING THEIR MORNING MEETINGS!
Every professional staff member participated in Capturing Kids' Hearts during our professional learning days. We learned so many things during this two day training!
All students will be greeted at the door with a smile and by name as they enter the classroom. Teachers are utilizing Morning Meeting time to build a community within their classroom. Students and teachers are reviewing school wide expectations (how to walk in the hall, cafeteria behavior, recess behavior, etc).
- The Katy ISD Legacy Parent Academy is a series of informational sessions designed to assist parents by raising awareness on various social-emotional and academic topics that impact our students and our campuses district-wide. Academy participants will gain factual knowledge pertinent to each topic while also learning strategies and proven techniques to assist in supporting students.

SMART TAG SYSTEM *NEW*
Dear Parents, The SMART tag™ system helps increase safety and security for students riding on a school bus, leveraging technology to improve student management and communications on school buses. SMART tag™ monitors the location of each tablet-equipped school bus, including student loading and unloading, providing real-time information to the Transportation Department, and you, the parent.

TRANSPORTATION MAP FOR MORTON RANCH ELEMENTARY
Please be patient with us the first few days so our Mavs can arrive and dismiss in a safe and quick manner. We aim to expedite the dismissal systems as quickly as possible, but during the first week of school, as children, staff, and parents are learning new things, dismissal does take a big longer.
Drivers may not be on their cell phone during arrival/dismissal. Safety is our # 1 priority!
