President’s Welcome

With Spring Break coming soon, there is so much to celebrate, plan, and look forward to! From special events and campus traditions to exciting opportunities to get involved, our RAE community continues to show what makes this school so special.

This week is your last chance to nominate leaders for next year’s PTA Board — nominations close Wednesday, February 25. Whether you’re ready to step in or want to recommend someone amazing, your voice matters and helps shape the year ahead.

Be sure to explore upcoming events, grab those last Mother-Son tickets, pre-order your yearbook, and mark your calendars for our March 18 General Membership Meeting — we can’t wait to gather, connect, and vote for the next board together.

And don’t forget to take a moment to celebrate the people who make a difference every day — see below to recognize a staff member and help us share the appreciation!

Thank you for your continued support, energy, and heart. 


With gratitude,

KATY ISD NEWS
Straight Talk ’26: Raising the AI Generation

The schedule for the Straight Talk event has been moved to a new date. AI is rapidly evolving and Katy ISD is always working to stay current.  You can tune in to the Katy ISD Board of Trustees Meeting on Monday evening to hear more about plans for integrating AI in our schools. We want to ensure that everyone has the most up to date insights, and therefore will be postponing our Straight Talk event for one month.  The new date is March 23, 2026, and we hope you can still join us! To prevent confusion we have a new registration form

We apologize for any inconvenience this adjustment may cause and appreciate your understanding.
