The NEW and IMPROVED PTA Website
Have you seen it yet? Over the summer the PTA Website got a new look and is now more user friendly. You can now find links to volunteer for events, lunch schedules, the school directory, event information, calendar of events, the Pattison Post, and SO MUCH MORE! Along with the Pattison Post, the website will be our official form of communication and Social Media will be used for reminders and unofficial announcements.
Be sure to bookmark the website and check back regularly!

Smart Tag for the Bus
This school year, the SMART Tag web-based Parent Portal will be replaced by the Smart Tag app.
The SMART Tag app notifies parents when their child’s bus is on its way to pick up, or drop off, at the student’s designated stop. It also provides instant updates about delays, route alterations, or emergencies. App can be downloaded on both Android and Apple devices. https://tinyurl.com/4memyrye
Learn More about Chromebooks
The CLASS 1:1 Student to Device initiative is all about connected and accessible learning, grounded in classroom instruction that is enhanced through technology-integrated learner experiences.
The passage of the 2023 Bond has made it possible to provide every Katy ISD 3rd through 12th grade student a Chromebook for both classroom and home use beginning Fall 2024 (2024 - 2025 school year). This webpage provides important information about the CLASS 1:1 initiative.
