Believe me when I say, we cannot wait to get started and re-engage with students and families!Over the past couple weeks, our teachers have been working hard training for online instructional delivery, getting curriculum and learning tools ready, and preparing to provide the unparalleled learning experiences for which our Katy ISD schools are known.Meanwhile, our numbers are in for KVA and In-Person instructional options:
