COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOL UPDATES<br />

CONTINUED CAMPUS PHASE 1 SAFETY PROTOCOLS<br />

Katy ISD Campus Phase 1 Safety Protocols remain in effect to ensure the continued<br />

mitigation and deterrence of the potential spread of COVID-19. The District anticipates<br />

releasing Phase 2 protocols when state, local and the Texas Education Agency (TEA)<br />

KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES CALL<br />

FOR A MAY <strong>2021</strong> SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION<br />

The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved to hold a general election in<br />

May <strong>2021</strong> for a three-year term in Positions 6 and 7.<br />

• Early Voting by Personal Appearance: Mon, <strong>April</strong> 19 to Tues, <strong>April</strong> 27, <strong>2021</strong><br />

• Election Day: Saturday, May 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />

Currently, Position 6 is being held by Susan Gesoff and Position 7 is held<br />

by Dawn Champagne. State law requires a candidate for trustee of an<br />

independent school district to be a qualified voter by the time mentioned<br />

in Election Code Section 141.001. Katy ISD trustees are the governing body<br />

of the school district and are the main advising group that oversees and<br />

shapes policies. Individuals serving as Board members are not employees<br />

of Katy ISD, yet they dedicate countless hours to lead an A+ school district.<br />

For students, virtual classes are an excellent way to acquire graduation credits<br />

and/or expand their learning opportunities. Last year, over 4,000 students<br />

utilized the Katy Virtual School (KVS) program offered by the Katy Independent<br />

School District. KVS launched in 2013 with a primary goal of expanding the<br />

learning opportunities for students by offering choice and flexibility for rigorous<br />

online courses developed and taught by Katy ISD teachers. KVS has begun<br />

online registration for Summer <strong>2021</strong>, Fall <strong>2021</strong> and Spring 2022 semesters.<br />

“KVS provides online learning that offers a flexible, online experience, which<br />

helps students achieve their educational goals,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD<br />

Instructional Technology e-Learning Manager. “The virtual model of e-learning<br />

is in high demand and delivers quality instruction to Katy ISD students, outside<br />

of normal school hours, to support student graduation plans. KVS is different<br />

from the current Katy Virtual Academy (KVA), which is the online learning<br />

model implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” added Richards.<br />

KVS will offer a wide range of courses from Creative Writing, AP Art<br />

History, English III, World Geography, Economics, Psychology and more.<br />

There are over 30 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced Program<br />

(KAP) and academic level courses available to students with additional<br />

opportunities being added each year. The cost per course is $200 per<br />

semester. KVS is an approved College Board online provider for Advanced<br />

Placement (AP) courses and by the NCAA for student initial eligibility.<br />

For more information, students can talk with their campus counselor for<br />

additional information, email KVS at katyvirtualschool@katyisd.org or<br />

EIGHTEEN KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN<br />

TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION<br />

Katy Independent School District is focused on closing the achievement<br />

gap and helping all its students reach academic success. To recognize<br />

those efforts, 18 Katy ISD schools now proudly display the distinction of<br />

being a Texas Honor Roll School by the Educational Results Partnership<br />

(ERP).<br />

After an extensive analysis of student data of every public school in<br />

Texas, these campuses demonstrated clear leadership in motivating<br />

and achieving academic success for its students at their grade-level<br />

and beyond. Sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education<br />

Excellence (CBEE), the ERP Honor Roll is the only school recognition<br />

program in the state that uses student achievement outcome data,<br />

making it a valuable resource for all schools to identify successful peers<br />

and learn about best practices that improve student success.<br />

The 2019-20 Texas Honor Roll includes:<br />

Elementary: Alexander, Holland, Kilpatrick, Pattison, Randolph, Shafer,<br />

Stanley, Wilson,<br />

Wolman<br />

Junior High: Beckendorff, Katy, Memorial Parkway, McMeans, Seven<br />

<strong>Lakes</strong>, Tays, WoodCreek<br />

High School: Tompkins, Seven <strong>Lakes</strong><br />

For high schools, the ERP Texas Honor Roll recognition includes measures<br />

of college readiness. This year, the program recognized 943 higherperforming<br />

schools across the state.<br />

DONATUTORS<br />

Donatutors is a nonprofit tutoring organization that donates 100% of<br />

our proceeds to charity. All of our tutors are straight-A students at Seven<br />

<strong>Lakes</strong> High school and we offer a multitude of courses like creative<br />

writing, computer science, biology, public speaking, ICTW writing and<br />

many different math courses too. We charge $20 per class, but the first<br />

one is free! For more information, check out donatutors.com or email<br />

us at donatutors@gmail.com. What’s even cooler is that this summer<br />

Donatutors was able to raise $1,283 which we used 70% to give to a<br />

Houston based charity called NAMI and 30% to buy a bunch of masks<br />

and canned food for donation. Please check us out!<br />

LIBRARIES OFFER ONLINE<br />

SUPPORT GROUP FOR JOB HUNTERS<br />

Searching for a job can be difficult and stressful, but doing it in the middle<br />

of a pandemic can be even worse. Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL) will<br />

host an online Job-Search Support Group on Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 27 th at 2 PM.<br />

This program will be live-streamed via Webex; it will NOT be in person. In<br />

this online forum, job hunters will have an opportunity to network with<br />

other people, exchange tips and leads or simply vent their frustrations<br />

with others in the same position. Library staff will share helpful online<br />

resources that can be accessed through the FBCL website. These free<br />

resources can help job seekers create a better resumé, improve their<br />

job skills, research job opportunities and careers and much more. This<br />

online event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required<br />

so that a link to the Webex session can be emailed to all participants.<br />

To register online at FBCL’s website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), click on<br />

Celebrating its 40 years of service to Houston and Texas, Crime Stoppers<br />

of Houston will host its annual Houston’s Heroes Awards Luncheon on<br />

Tuesday, May 4, <strong>2021</strong> from 11:30 AM-1 PM at the Royal Sonesta Houston<br />

Hotel to honor outstanding individuals and organizations who have<br />

given exemplary service to make Houston a safer place to live, work,<br />

learn and play. Due to the public health threat from Covid-19 and the<br />

current health and safety protocols, we will offer both an in-person<br />

event with limited seating as well as virtual access for sponsors and<br />

supporters to participate from home. While Crime Stoppers had to<br />

cancel this event last Spring due to the pandemic, the organization is<br />

unable to do so this year and reminds the community that it relies on<br />

this event for funding. Eight distinguished awards will be awarded at<br />

this annual fundraiser that raises funds to keep our communities safe.<br />

For the second year, Crime Stoppers of Houston will reveal the winner<br />

of the Dave Ward Media Excellence Award. This unique award will honor<br />

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including<br />

becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights<br />

in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor<br />

concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit<br />

this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and<br />

COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved<br />

all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give<br />

up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves<br />

needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of<br />

our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.<br />
