Katy ISD launches Online Grades district wide

Parents in Katy ISD won’t need to wait until progress reports are issued to learn how well their children are doing in school. Starting January 31, parents of students enrolled in Katy ISD will have the ability to check their child’s grades online via the district’s Parent Information Center. The district recently completed a successful pilot of the online grades feature at eight Katy ISD campuses and is ready to launch the service district wide. 

Important MealPay Plus Information

Due to system upgrades of the current mealpayplus.com online payment site, parents will need to re-register their student information after January 1, 2008.  The site enhancements are required by the contracted software company and not by KISD Technology department.  However, the system upgrade is necessary for the district to be able to continue in this popular meal payment option for our parents. 

All account balances & deposits made through MealPayPlus before the end of the year will be reflected on the new accounts.  The company has also listed detailed instructions on the new mealpayplus.com website starting January 1.  As before, parents will need to have the district ID number for their student to set up an account.

January is School Board Recognition Month

Katy ISD is joining school districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge local school board members’ unwavering commitment to our schools and community. Through a gubernatorial proclamation, January is designated as School Board Recognition Month each year to appreciate the dedication and hard work of each trustee.
