KATY ISD OPENS BUS DRIVING PARENTS PROGRAM 

With a nationwide shortage of bus drivers, the demand for field trip 

drivers is at an all-time high. To combat this problem, Katy Independent 

School District is inviting parents, grandparents and guardians of District 

students to apply to become a BDP - Bus Driving Parent. 

“Whether you’re saving for your child’s college fund, looking to 

supplement your income or just want to play a crucial part in our Katy 

ISD community, this is your opportunity,” said Executive Director of Katy 

ISD Transportation Department Dr. Bill Wood. “Best of all you choose 

when you work,” added Wood. 

6 


Bus Driving Parents will have the opportunity to further their role 

in their student’s education and drive their student’s school on field 

trips. BDP’s will be vetted and trained through Katy ISD, as well as 

be compensated for the time they drive. Once they’ve earned their 

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), completed training and earned 

driving hours, BDP’s will be able to drive students to field trips as 

often as they want. While the training upfront can take time, Bus 

Driving Parents will help to provide an incredible service to the 

district and expand learning experiences for students. To apply and 

get more information, visit http://bit.ly/RollWithKatyISD. 

TWENTY-FOUR KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN 

TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION 

What better way for Katy Independent School District to end the 

2018-19 school year! Out of its 65 campuses, Katy ISD is proud to 

announce that 24 of its schools were named a Texas Honor Roll 

School by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP). 

The 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll includes: 

Elementary: Alexander, Creech, Griffin, Holland, Kilpatrick, 

Randolph, Shafer, Stanley, Williams, Wilson and Wolman. 

Junior High: Beck, Beckendorff, Katy, McMeans, Memorial Parkway, 

Seven Lakes, Tays and WoodCreek. 

High School: Cinco Ranch, Mayde Creek, Seven Lakes, Taylor and 

Tompkins. 

After an extensive analysis of student data, ERP found that these Katy 

ISD schools were clear leaders in getting students to grade level and 

beyond. The 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll recognizes public elementary, 

middle and high schools that consistently demonstrate high levels of 

student academic achievement, improvement in student outcomes 

over time and a closing of the achievement gaps. For high schools, 

the Texas Honor Roll recognition includes measures of college 

readiness. This year, the program recognized 855 higher performing 

schools across the state. These schools become an accepted 

example to other school districts seeking to learn and replicate the 

best practices employed at these campuses. Katy ISD schools will be 

provided with a banner to display at their campus.

Russell Leach of Katy has earned the Boy Scouts of America’s highest 

advancement award, the Eagle Scout Award and was recognized in

Gardening Tips 

Garden Tips 

For August 

• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects. 

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves 

and dead wood. Light green leaves may signify lack of 

iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates. 

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little 

bone meal around the roots. 

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall 

growth. 

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies. 

• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have 

areas of thin and/or dead turf where they weren’t 

brought under control. There is a new generation going 

now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban 

to stop the damage. 

• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. Augustine 

grass grows slowly. If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a 

fast turnaround. The sod may look like it’s not growing 

while it puts down roots. You will need to water the 

new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also 

creates a disease environment. Water early so the sun 

can dry the turf. 

• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up, 

add organic material, mix it in, then let them cure for 

a month or so. Add in any amendments like micronutrients. 

Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms 

have a favorable environment.
