Alexander Elementary

We will be back together in about two weeks and we are beyond excited to see our StingRAE students and families! Thank you for taking the time to read our eNews every week. Our eNews will be sent out Friday afternoons. On occasion, you may receive additional communication throughout the week. We call these additional communications eBlast messages and we use them when there are timely or focused messages we want to relay.

You can also check our campus website as well as our Facebook page to see celebrations and happenings at RAE.

If you have questions regarding Registration, please check out our Katy ISD website for more information.

Our Registrar is working hard to complete the enrollment process. Students will be in classes by August 12, 2024.

Please see information regarding upcoming events below.

Our theme this year is Peace, Love, RAE and I am so looking forward to living out this theme with all of you this coming year.

Sincerely,

Charmaine Hobin

Katy ISD is Powering Up for Back to School with PowerSchool Enrollment!

Mark your calendar for these important dates:

· Friday, July 26 – NEW student online registration reopens

· Monday, July 29 – Annual Student Update opens

All new and current Katy ISD students are required to use PowerSchool Enrollment to submit a new student registration or their annual student update.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to submit a parent inquiry through the corresponding registration email found on the Katy ISD Online Enrollment webpage.

Were you notified last school year that your student was due for vaccines over summer? Students must meet all vaccine requirements before the first day of school. Please email a copy of your student’s updated immunization record to AmandaBoteler@KatyISD.org

For any questions, please send me an email.

In KISD elementary schools, hearing and vision screens are routinely done for grades PK, K, 1, 3, 5, and new students entering KISD. Spinal screenings are routinely done for 5th grade girls (You can read about this here: KISD Spinal Screening Letter). Acanthosis Nigricans check is routinely done for 3rd grade students (You can read about this here: Acanthosis Nigricans). All screenings begin in the fall.

If you have any concerns about your child's vision, hearing, or concerns about curvatures in their spines, please contact me. If you do not want your child screened, you must present documentation to the campus nurse prior to September 1st as stated in the Student Handbook. If you are not contacted once screenings are complete, your child has passed the screenings. 🙂 I'm happy to help if you have any questions or concerns.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy school year!

Amanda Boteler, RN, BSN

Shool hours are 7:50 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Students can be dropped off as early as 7:25 a.m.

Student Target Time is 7:45 a.m. The purpose of Target Time is for students to arrive on school grounds by 7:45 a.m. in order to get to their classrooms and get settled by the 7:50 a.m. bell.

We will start morning announcements promptly at 7:50 a.m. so we sincerely appreciate everyone making it a priority to be early and on time.

If you need to change the way your student goes home, please send a written note to school with your child on that day. Include the student’s full name, homeroom teacher and exactly how the student will be going home. In cases of emergency, such as sudden illnesses, hospitalization, etc. (this does not include severe weather), parents may send the request via email to RAEcommunications@katyisd.org or fax (281-644-1585) to the receptionist. This request must include a parent signature and a copy of identification from the parent/guardian email we have on file. Please also call 281-237-7100 to inform the front office that the request has been sent. This communication must be received by 1:30 p.m. For safety reasons, phone calls alone will not be accepted.

A change of transportation form can be found on the RAE website at: RAE Change of Transportation Form

Katy ISD’s Raptor safety protocol will require volunteers to register (or re-register) annually thus creating a new volunteer profile each year.

The link will be included in the district’s PowerSchool student enrollment plus readily available via campus eNews and on district and campus websites.
