All students currently on an approved transfer must reapply, except for children of employees who meet the criteria for automatic renewal.  Failure to submit a transfer application by the allotted time frame will revert your child(ren)’s campus assignment to their home-zoned campus.  Late applications will not be accepted.

PARENT-DEFINED GRADE NOTIFICATIONS  

Katy ISD Parents and/or Guardians can view their child’s grades in the Home Access Center at any time. On the Grades page, you can access your child’s most recent progress report (IPR) and report card grades. On the Classwork page, you can setup personalized alerts for your child’s class averages. Based on the parent-defined percentage (%), you will receive an alert when your child’s average falls below or rises above a certain threshold. Select here to locate Instructions on how to setup grade alerts.  

PERFORMANCE MONITORING

All Katy ISD parents/guardians are encouraged to use the Home Access Center (HAC) to review their child’s academic progress on a routine basis. As the 2024-2025 school year comes to close, take time to review all current grades, report cards, and teacher comments and/or recommendations. If your child is in need of support, speak with your child to identify their greatest area(s) of need, communicate with your child’s teacher, and, if needed, review summer learning opportunities. If you need assistance logging in to HAC, this guide will walk you through the steps. 

PARENT NOTIFICATION OF HEALTH EDUCATION INSTRUCTION

Under Texas statute, school districts must obtain written parental consent prior to providing instruction on these lessons. In accordance with state law, parents and guardians have the right to review all curriculum materials used for instruction on human sexuality and abuse and violence prevention.  

At least 14 days prior to the instruction, the district will share information regarding how to review the curriculum, dates of the scheduled lessons, and the procedure to give written parental consent. Students who do not have parental consent will be provided alternative lessons and will not be subject to disciplinary or academic penalties.  

The Katy ISD curriculum has been adopted by the Board of Trustees with the recommendation of the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). All lessons are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and meet the state's mandated requirements. Texas Health Skills for Middle School and Texas Health Skills for High School by Goodheart-Wilcox and curated resources were used to develop the Katy ISD approved curriculum materials. The content of the curriculum and the timeframe for instruction are as follows:   

Elementary School (Grades 4-5)
Human Growth and Development Instruction: Human growth and development instruction will be provided in physical education class during the spring. Students will learn about developmental changes that are a normal part of growing up.  

Junior High (Grades 6-8)
Human Growth and Development Instruction: Students enrolled in PE or Athletics will receive instruction via a self-paced canvas course on human growth and development, including puberty, personal hygiene, abuse prevention, and disease prevention during the sixth six weeks.    

High School
Students enrolled in high school health will receive instruction via a self-paced canvas course on human sexuality and abuse and violence prevention during the sixth six weeks for students earning credit in the spring. Topics covered include puberty and adolescent development, personal hygiene, dating violence, sex trafficking, abstinence, and prevention of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
