It's going to be a busy week this week, ending with a Pep Rally for our 7th and 8th graders and Fun Food Friday for all! Due to our limited space in the gym, our Pep Rally is limited to just our students, and our 6th graders can watch the pep rally in their classes, while all 7th and 8th graders can attend.

Hello Families,

I wanted to send one final reminder if you haven’t yet enrolled your student for the 2025 New York City trip! There has been a great amount of interest and excitement around this destination and there are still spaces left on the tour. Price will be increasing on October 1st. If you are still interested, this is your last chance to reserve your spot before the price goes up.

Enroll and see your trip website at www.efexploreamerica.com/2789194US

If you have questions, please let me Ms. Hunsucker know or call EF traveler support at 1-888-333-9756.

Thank you again and we’re excited about the opportunity to host travel with your child on this amazing learning experience!

Kind regards!

Please remember report your student’s attendance either online at Report an Absence Online - KJH or by calling the Attendance Office at 281-237-6805.

Doctor and Parent Notes can be sent with your student to the Attendance Office directly or by emailing Wendy Claypool at WendyLClaypool@KatyISD.org

Parents of Bus Riders: If your student is a bus rider, look for the white route number on the side of the bus when tracking their bus this school year! And make sure to download the Smart tag™ app from your mobile Google Play Store or Apple App Store! The Smart Tag app allows parents to set their preferred notifications, including when their child’s bus is expected to arrive. You can also see when and where your student boards and exits the bus.

8th Grade Family's please click on the link below to join the 8th grade dance page to stay up to date with all the ways you can volunteer and help donate towards the Dance.

Students in junior high will no longer be able to have telecommunication devices during the instructional day. Students will not use their phones in class, or during passing periods, in locker rooms or restrooms. They will have access to their school issued chrome books during class.

At KJH, we will allow our 8th graders only to use their phones during lunch. 7th graders will be working towards earning telecommunications during lunch. We will communicate when 7th graders can use their phones. 6th graders will not be allowed to access their communication devices during lunch.

If telecommunication devices are visible during times they should not be in use, they will be collected and brought to the assistant principals' offices. The first time, students will be able to collect at the end of the day, and parents will be notified. The second time, parents will be required to come to the campus to collect the device. Additional infractions will have additional consequences.

Katy Junior High follows the Katy ISD Dress Code Policy. Additional guidance is located below. New this year....students may wear leggings as long as their midriff is covered. As a good rule, as long as students cannot touch skin when their arms are down, and their belly does not show when arms are lifted, they should be in compliance with shorts, leggings and shirt guidelines.

We will review this with students, and videos will be posted to help parents make appropriate purchases for back to school clothing. If you have questions, please contact your student's grade level assistant principal, or Mrs. Lowery.

We have a fantastic staff!
