Approved Student Drop-Off Locations and Safety Concerns

For the safety of all students, there are ONLY TWO approved student drop-off locations:

1. Main Campus: At the designated curb directly in front of the main building.
2. 9th Grade Center: At the designated curb directly in front of the 9th Grade Center.

Students must remain inside their vehicles until they reach the designated curb at one of these two locations. Students may NOT exit vehicles along Fry Road, in the west parking lot, behind the building, or in the driving lanes of either circle drive.

Safety Concerns: During the early morning hours, it is often still dark outside, making it difficult for drivers to see students exiting vehicles. This limited visibility creates a serious safety hazard and increases the risk of students being struck by passing vehicles. Allowing students to exit vehicles in unauthorized locations or cross active traffic lanes puts their safety at risk. For this reason, all students must be dropped off only at the designated curbside locations, where the drop-off process can be managed more safely.

Dropping students off anywhere other than these two designated curbside locations is strictly prohibited. This includes stopping in traffic lanes and allowing students to cross moving traffic. Student safety is our top priority, especially during the early morning hours when visibility is limited.

We appreciate your cooperation in following these procedures and helping keep our Spartans safe

Katy ISD is grateful for the thousands of volunteers who make a difference in our schools each year. To help maintain a safe and secure environment for our students and staff, all volunteers serving on or off campus during or outside the instructional day are required to register annually through the district's Raptor volunteer management system.

A valid government-issued photo ID and email address are required to complete registration.

Your information will remain confidential and will not be shared outside of the volunteer program, except for applicants who register as a Community Volunteer (not a parent, grandparent, or guardian of a current Katy ISD student) or as a KEYS Mentor. For these volunteer roles, the information required to complete a background check will be shared only with our authorized background screening provider, JDP.

Once registered and approved, volunteers can:

• Sign up as a campus volunteer by completing the volunteer recruitment form provided by their campus organization(s) or by contacting the campus volunteer coordinator.

• Track volunteer hours through their volunteer profile for every Katy ISD campus where they serve.

• Quickly and easily submit individual off-campus volunteer hours.
