Screenings

· Vision & Hearing: Students in grades Pre-K (4 yrs and older), Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd and 5th are screened in the first semester. New students in 2nd and 4th will be screened if they are transferring from outside of Texas. Parents may also request their student to be screened if they have any concerns with their child's hearing and/or vision. A referral will be sent home by the campus nurse if a student fails a screening.

· Type 2 Diabetes Screening: is completed for 3rd grade students by the campus nurse. Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) is a skin marker related to high insulin levels and insulin resistance. It is believed that when higher than normal insulin levels are present in the blood, it can cause growth of darkened skin in certain areas of the body such as the neck, armpits or groin. These markings can help identify persons who run a risk of developing diabetes in the future. Students with an AN marker present will also have their BMI (body mass index) and blood pressure assessed. Parents will be notified by phone and/or a written referral letter which will summarize the results of these assessments and recommend a physician's evaluation.

· Spinal Screening: assess for an abnormal curvature of the spine. 5th grade girls will be screened within the first semester of school. Early detection of a spinal problem can make treatment easier. The screening process will be further explained to parents prior to the scheduled screening.

For parents that chose insurance for your Chromebook, you have 30 days from enrollment to pay for Chromebook insurance via Pay N Go.

This school year, a new SMART Tag bus rider ID system will be rolled out across Katy ISD school buses to help monitor the ridership of eligible bus riders. The system will enable parents, bus drivers, and school administrators, to review in real time, when and where a student is picked up or dropped off by a school bus. Student identification (ID) cards for eligible riders will include the SMART Tag ID information. Buses will be equipped with a tablet that will read each student’s ID every time they enter and exit their bus. Parents and guardians will also have access to the SMART Tag Parent Web Portal — a cloud-based platform that will enable them to monitor their student’s ridership and bus route. Parents and guardians of eligible bus riders will receive additional information about the Smart Tag ID system via the email address they have on file with the district. The Smart Tag ID system replaces Katy ISD’s Edulog Lite App.

You may now request insurance for your student's device. You have 30 days from enrollment to pay via Pay N Go once you have indicated that you want insurance. The charge will show up 24 hours after the change has been made. If you wish to insure it, please go to www.changemyrequest@katyisd.org.
