glutens, etc.) The birthday treat exception does not constitute a
birthday party; therefore, no other items (party favors) may be
distributed.
Invitations for birthday parties or other special events are classified
as nonschool-related materials and may not be distributed to
students at school since no other flyers from similar groups are
allowed to be directly distributed to students per Board Policy FEE
(LOCAL).
Bus Safety/Notes:
From time to time it is necessary for a student to ride a bus other
than the one to which the student is assigned. Before students may
ride any bus other than their own or get off at a different stop, the
principal/designee must approve a note from the parent requesting
that a different bus be ridden. The note must include the student’s
name, the number of the bus to be ridden, the date the student needs
to ride the bus, and the reason for the request. The note must be
signed by the parent and include work or cell and home phone
numbers. The student must turn the bus note in to the front office
before noon.
Generally, a request to ride a different bus is for one day only. If the
request is for an extended period, the transportation department
must also approve it.
Cafeteria:
Katy ISD students are expected to eat lunch on campus per Board
Policy FEE (LOCAL). Students may go through the line one time. All
foods, snacks, desserts, and drinks must be purchased before sitting
at the cafeteria table. Katy ISD student ID cards should be carried to
be scanned for meal account information when purchasing meals.
Students are expected to pay for meals purchased daily. District
borrowing policy allows students without lunch money to receive
the menu choice with the expectation the parent will reimburse the
meal charged the next school day. Breakfast may not be charged, nor
will an alternate meal be provided. Parents will be alerted when
their child charges a meal by receiving a courtesy call through the
district automated call out system, if the district parent information
is correct and up-to-date.
