I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break!

It will be a fast 3 weeks towards the end of the semester, with lots of activities, celebrations and finals! Please be sure to check the upcoming events below.

If your student is a bike rider, please remind them they must WALK their bike until they are off of school property. We have been noticing students darting in the parking lot and crosswalks on bikes and don't want an accident.

Thank you!

Mrs. Lowery

Parents of Bus Riders: If your student is a bus rider, look for the white route number on the side of the bus when tracking their bus this school year! And make sure to download the Smart tag™ app from your mobile Google Play Store or Apple App Store! The Smart Tag app allows parents to set their preferred notifications, including when their child’s bus is expected to arrive. You can also see when and where your student boards and exits the bus.

Students in junior high will no longer be able to have telecommunication devices during the instructional day. Students will not use their phones in class, or during passing periods, in locker rooms or restrooms. They will have access to their school issued chrome books during class.

At KJH, we will allow our 8th graders only to use their phones during lunch. 7th graders will be working towards earning telecommunications during lunch. We will communicate when 7th graders can use their phones. 6th graders will not be allowed to access their communication devices during lunch.

If telecommunication devices are visible during times they should not be in use, they will be collected and brought to the assistant principals' offices. The first time, students will be able to collect at the end of the day, and parents will be notified. The second time, parents will be required to come to the campus to collect the device. Additional infractions will have additional consequences.

Katy Junior High follows the Katy ISD Dress Code Policy. Additional guidance is located below. New this year....students may wear leggings as long as their midriff is covered. As a good rule, as long as students cannot touch skin when their arms are down, and their belly does not show when arms are lifted, they should be in compliance with shorts, leggings and shirt guidelines.

We will review this with students, and videos will be posted to help parents make appropriate purchases for back to school clothing. If you have questions, please contact your student's grade level assistant principal, or Mrs. Lowery.

We have a fantastic staff!
