Miller Memo

Miller Career & Technology Center students and parents,

We are just one day away from beginning the 2024 - 2025 school year in Katy ISD! Miller Career & Technology Center staff is looking forward to welcoming all our new and returning students. Please read below for important back-to-school information.

Principal, MCTC

Beginning today (8/12), students can view their 2024-2025 class schedules in two different places. Students and parents can log into HAC (Home Access Center) to view class schedules, including room numbers and teacher names. Additionally, students can log into MyKaty Cloud and select the Student Schedule tile. A concise, easy-to-read schedule will appear, including room numbers and teacher names.

When viewing your schedule, look for the classes that list a "M" before the room number and shows Miller as the campus. Those are your Miller classes. These classes could be offered during 3 different time slots:

• 1st, 2nd, & 3rd periods (1st AM Cohort)
• 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th periods (2nd AM Cohort)
• 5th, 6th, & 7th periods (PM Cohort)

If your Miller classes are listed for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd periods (1st AM Cohort), you will report to Miller right away in the morning. 1st period begins at 7:15 AM, so please make sure you have enough time to get into the building and to your class prior to 7:15.

Your dismissal/departure time for the end of the school day will be 2:45 PM.

Students have 3 options to travel to and from Miller Career & Technology Center:

1. Students may take District-provided bus transportation (Specific route information below.)
2. Students may drive themselves to and from Miller (See Parking Permit Information below.)
3. Students may be dropped off and picked up (see locations below).

District bus transportation to and from Miller is provided. To find your bus pick-up/drop-off location, you will access the District-wide Bus Map on our homepage. Please note: This map is not currently updated for the 2024 - 2025 school year. It will be updated by 5:00 PM today (8/12).

Your home will appear on the map, and the closest bus stop will show up in the left-hand bar, along with the pick-up and drop-off times for this location.

Please note: These routes are for AM pick-up (bring you to Miller for 1st period) or PM drop-off (take you to neighborhood drop-off from Miller after 7th period) only.
