Fort Bend Fine Arts Festival Writing Contest Winners
At the Fort Bend County Literary and Fine Arts Festi-
val and Parade on April 28, 4 MMJH students re-
ceived awards for their essay submissions to the
Fort Bend Writing contest. They actually swept the
6th-8th grade competition! 7th graders Hannah
Graesser and Grace Williams and 8th grader
Rachael Lee were selected as the “Judges’ Choice”
winners, and 7th grader Jenny Liu’s essay was se-
lected as “Best of Show”. These students were rec-
ognized by Commissioner Meyers and Congressman
Olsen at the ceremony, and they received several
fun prizes. In addition to a rather large trophy, Jenny
also received a $1000 scholarship! Their essays will
also be on display at the Katy Contemporary Art Mu-
seum. Congratulations to these students and their
teacher, Ms. Becky Henderson!

Student iPad Checkout
Katy ISD is excited to provide the opportunity for our students
to take home a digital device for learning.
A student can check out an iPad to use for a school assignment
for a one week period, excluding the
Winter and Spring Breaks. If a student needs WiFi access, a “Hot
Spot” is also available for checkout for
a five day period. The student’s parent or legal guardian must
first meet with the assistant principal to
review the KISD Student/Parent Equipment Use Agreement and sign
it along with the student. This docu-
ment will be kept on file for the current school year. The
student will be instructed on proper use and
care of the borrowed equipment. Please call the school at
281-237-8000 to set up an appointment.
Katy ISD se complace en ofrecer la oportunidad para que nuestros
estudiantes puedan llevar a casa un
dispositivo digital para el aprendizaje. Un estudiante puede
sacar un iPad para utilizar para una tarea de
escuela por un período de una semana, excepto el invierno y
vacaciones de primavera. Si un estudiante
necesita acceso a Internet WiFi, un "punto caliente" (Hot Spot)
también está disponible para pedirse du-
rante un período de cinco días. El padre o tutor legal del
estudiante debe reunirse primero con el Sub
Director para revisar el acuerdo de uso de equipo de padres y
alumnos KISD y firmarlo junto con el estu-
diante. Este documento se mantendrá en archivo para el año
escolar actual . Los estudiantes serán in-
struidos sobre el uso correcto y cuidado del equipo prestado.
Por favor llame a la escuela en el 281-
237-8000 para programar una cita.
