Stranger Danger Bulletins

Katy ISD provides a much needed service by emailing bulletins to the community when children have been approached by strangers. We will provide updated bulletins below as they are emailed out. You may be added to the KISD distribution list. Please go to the Katy ISD Parent Information Center sign-up page at http://pic.katyisd.org/.  You will be asked to fill out a Parent Information Center account - you don't have to be a parent to sign in.

Additionally, you should look at where sex offenders live in the Katy area - you will be surprised by how many there are and how close they live to you: registered sex offenders in the KISD area
