Since its launch in September 2018, the Katy ISD Legacy Parent Academy has been empowering parents with the knowledge and resources to more effectively support their children on current issues.
More than a dozen future entrepreneurs and leaders from Katy ISD earned awards at this year’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Leadership Conference, held this summer in Orlando, Florida.
Ready to embrace a new challenge or pick up a new hobby this fall? Registration is now open for Katy ISD’s Community Education classes, offering a wide array of opportunities for personal growth and enrichment.
Today, Katy ISD kicked off its 2024-25 school year, a year that will be filled with “unparalleled learning” for the District’s more than 96,000 students.
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.
Recommendations by district personnel to purchase books new to the Katy ISD circulation are available for public review and comment prior to purchase. To review and/or comment on book titles currently being considered for district purchase, please visit the Book Titles Public Review and Comment dashboard.

Students who unintentionally bring to school a prohibited item which is not illegal, may turn in the item to a staff member without disciplinary consequences if this is done before the item is discovered or reported by a staff member or another student. This option applies only to the first time the prohibited item is accidentally brought to school. The second time the prohibited item is brought to school, the item will be confiscated, and the student disciplined according to the type of item brought to school. Parents/ guardians may pick up confiscated items which are not illegal within two school days. Items not picked up within two school days will be discarded. Illegal items and items designated as evidence will be turned over to the Katy ISD police.
