Online registration for the Katy Independent School District Prekindergarten program for the 2025-2026 school year will open on March 31, 2025. Parents must complete the online registration process through Katy ISD’s PowerSchool Registration website in order for their child to be screened for program eligibility.

The Katy ISD Prekindergarten program follows the state Pre-K guidelines which focus on oral language development, reading and math readiness, as well as science and social studies knowledge and skills. Click the Katy ISD Prekindergarten program link for a list of eligibility requirements or call the Office of Interventions at 281-237-7062.

ID’s are required by all students entering the bus and failure to enter a bus and a campus without a student ID cannot occur. Students who fail to have an ID or continued failure to badge in to access the bus may be suspended from transportation services.

Devices will be distributed to students within the first 10 days of school. All students in grades 3-5 will be provided a device with cover and a charger.

Students are expected to bring their Chromebook and charger to school. Students should also routinely charge their Chromebooks each night in preparation for the following day. However, should a student’s Chromebook require temporary battery charging while at school, the campus will have limited chargers available to students.

Students will continue to learn and engage in their schoolwork through a variety of modes, including hands-on experiences in the classroom, paper/pencil tasks, and digital-based activities.

If devices are left at home, the campus will not be accepting deliveries of devices by parents. Students will need to get in the habit of bringing the devices to school charged each day. Classroom teachers will work with students on building this routine.

Parents may have many questions regarding school procedures. Please read the Stanley Elementary Campus Information Guide so you are aware of the most common questions/information parents need to know. There are a few changes to be aware of:

Birthday Treats - Students/parents will no longer bring birthday treats to school to share with the class. Teachers will recognize student birthdays in the classroom and they will receive a small gift from administration.

A few important things to please remember throughout the school year:

• Please make sure that your students' immunizations and immunization record is up to date. Feel free to forward any updated records to me at april-dawnsbrown@katyisd.org

• If you have medications and supplies to drop off in the clinic, please make sure that all forms are signed by yourself and the doctor.

• I encourage all of our students, regardless of grade, to have an extra set of clothing in their backpack. We are limited in clothing and sizes in the clinic. It can make students feel more comfortable if they have their own clothing if they need it.

• Just as a quick reminder- Students who have a fever (over 100 F), vomiting and/or diarrhea will be sent home and excluded from school. They may return when they have gone 24 hours with no symptoms (fever, diarrhea, vomiting) and without the aid of medication to reduce fever or other symptoms. It is good practice to keep students' home from school who are experiencing the symptoms above.

• If you have any concerns, updates or questions about your student's health, please do not hesitate to call.

Thank you so much for all of your support
