Star Colt of the Month 

Congratulations to Mr. White, our Cardiff Staff Member of the Month!  Mr. White supports his students in and outside of the classroom.  Students are treated with the upmost respect.  He shows excellence in his classes by tailoring his science lessons for students to learn and enjoy learning.  He is kind, attentive, and helpful.  He goes above and beyond to help and support our students.

Congratulations to Ms. Eilyn Martinez, Front Desk Receptionist, our Paraprofessional of the Year! 

The Campus Paraprofessional of the Year is selected by a nomination and final vote process by the school staff.  Ms. Martinez is the epitome of customer service.  In her role at the front desk, she routinely manages many activities at once – greeting visitors with a smile, answering phone calls, ensuring that parents and visitors have the proper identification, checking-in parents and visitors, supporting front office staff with tasks that need to be completed, etc.  She is always warm, welcoming, and efficient.  Her bright, cheerful demeanor is contagious, and she is always willing to help and support where needed.  She was recognized by members of the campus leadership team and her family.  Congratulations to Ms. Martinez!

Katy ISD’s elementary bell schedule is designed to maximize bus routes, minimize service delays, and accommodate for ongoing driver shortages.
 

CLASS OF 2023- GRADUATION CEREMONY FIREWORKS

This year, for the first time, the district will host a brief 45-second fireworks display at the conclusion of each graduation ceremony. Graduation ceremonies historically end somewhere between 9:30 p.m. and 9:55 p.m., depending on the size of the class. The safety of our Katy ISD community is our number one priority. The district has contracted with a professional pyrotechnics company to administer each firework display. That company is also providing safety staff to ensure those operating the display, as well as the audience viewing the display, are protected from any potential hazards. The pyrotechnics company, as well as our school district, has obtained all required licensing and permitting through the City of Katy. Graduation ceremonies are scheduled nightly from Thursday, May 18 through Friday, May 26, at Legacy Stadium. Information about the Katy ISD Class of 2023 graduations.

ACCESS TO 2023 STATE TESTING RESULTS USING THE FAMILY PORTAL   

The STAAR redesign was fully implemented in the spring 2023 for all grades/subjects and courses.  Due to the changes, the reporting of performance standards will be later in the summer.  As in previous years, the state assessment outcomes will provide families with detailed information about their student’s areas of strength, as well as any gaps in learning. Parents can access the state’s Family Portal for assessment results by using their child’s Unique Student Access Code. Parents may utilize the Parent Directions To Access State Testing Results (ENG./SPA.) document located on the Katy ISD Department of Research, Assessment, and Accountability website. Final test results will be available in the Family Portal by the end-of-day listed in the chart below:  

STUDENT DEVICES FOR CHECK-OUT  

Parents may complete the Student Device Checkout Request form for their student to check out a Chromebook for home use. As with other devices with an internet connection, the Chromebook enables students to log in to MyKaty Cloud to access campus resources including Canvas, encyclopedias, informational databases, and other learning tools. 

HOME ACCESS CENTER (HAC)    

As a reminder, parents of elementary and secondary students are asked to check the HAC to stay abreast of their student(s) current six or nine weeks assignment grades and grade average.  HAC reflects the most accurate academic progress of students.     

To ensure secondary students refer to the HAC to verify current grades on assignments and six weeks grade average, the following message is housed on the Canvas homepage:
