Katy ISD’s Partners in Education invites the community to bring hope to families in need this holiday season through our biannual Food for Families campaign. Katy ISD campuses identify students for the program while Partners in Education collects community and corporate donations. Grocery gift cards and a note of support from the Katy ISD community are then delivered to each student by a campus staff member.

Contributions in any amount are welcome and appreciated. Those interested in helping these Katy ISD families experience a happier holiday season should donate by December 9. Donations are accepted online, through Katy ISD Pay N’ Go, or via check, remitted to “Katy ISD Food for Families” and mailed to Partners in Education, Katy ISD ESC, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy 77494.

Below is a Class 1:1 FAQ we have developed as we work through Class 1:1 new things together.

Katy ISD requires all volunteers serving on or off-campus during or after the instructional day to register with the district through its Raptor security system.

Once registered and approved, individual volunteers can:

• Sign up as a campus volunteer by completing the volunteer recruitment form provided by your campus organization(s) or contact your campus volunteer coordinator.

• Track hours via their volunteer profile for every Katy ISD campus at which they volunteer

• The system also provides quick and easy submission of individual off-campus volunteer hours.

It All Adds Up!

Thank you for volunteering in Katy ISD

Parents and schools will only need to know the Route ID (or likely just called "route") because the bus number will no longer matter.

At 8:30 AM, the front doors will open. Students who would like to eat breakfast go to the cafeteria. Students may walk to sit outside their first period class once the doors open. Students are to have their IDs on and visible at all times.
