Message From the Principal
We are coming to an end of our first 6 Weeks of instruction. It has been an eventful 6 weeks, and I'd like to thank each of you for supporting your student's academic growth, whether at home via KVA or in person on campus. I also wanted to give you a quick PTSA update, 100% of our staff members have joined our PTSA! Please consider becoming a member this year. The information to join us is included at the end of this news letter.
I encourage you as parents to log into your student's grade book in HAC and ensure all assignments have been completed before the first 6 weeks reporting ends next week. Please have students submit all work before Thursday, September 24, 2020.
If your students are in need of additional academic support, our teachers have tutorials in the mornings and afternoons for both KVA and face to face students.
We are here to support your students academic growth as we strive to continue to develop leaders and learners of today and tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ann Lalime

Attendance Information
If your student is going to be absent, please call Ms. Gomez at 281-234-2764 or email to claudiagomez@katyisd.org. In order to avoid those automated phone calls, please communicate any absences the morning they will be out. Any absences not reported will receive a letter from the attendance clerk upon their return.
A student is allowed 8 personal illness days per 6 month period. Any days beyond this number will require a doctor’s note. A doctor’s note is also required if your student will be out for 5 consecutive days.
When going to the doctor or the dentist, remind them to give you a school excuse and send it with your student upon their return to school. The student can turn it in to the front office or the attendance clerk. Please do not give it to the teacher.
In order for the student’s absence to excused, guardians must contact the attendance clerk. The absence will be considered unexcused if there is no communication with Ms. Gomez, our attendance clerk.
Please remember only a legal guardian can pick up a student from school. Only during an emergency can an emergency contact pick up a student, and the parent must email the attendance clerk with the information and a copy of ID/DL.
Remember: The sign-out cut off time is 3:20 p.m.Students will go home according to their dismissal plan after 3:20 p.m.
