Carline Procedures Update

The Katy Police Department Captain has informed us that vehicles may now merge at 13th and East Avenue. This is a change from previous guidance, and we appreciate your understanding and attention to the updated traffic flow. Additionally, if you are in the front carline, please avoid turning left from 11th Street onto Avenue D. This creates a backup in the front carline and delays our dismissal process.

Letter to Household - Application for Free & Reduced

Aristoi Classical Academy is committed to ensuring all students have access to healthy meals. Families may qualify for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch based on income or participation in assistance programs. This packet includes important information and instructions for applying.

New for 25–26: Students who qualify for reduced-price meals will now receive meals at no cost!

Please review the packet and submit one application per household. For questions, contact Michelle Garza at mgarza@aristoiclassical.org or (281) 391-5003 ext. 18003.

Update Student Emergency Info

As we strive to ensure the safety and well-being of your children, we kindly remind you to update your contact information as well as your child's and specify who is authorized to transport your child in your Ascender Parent Portal. Please note that we will not be using emergency contact cards this year, so it is essential that your child's information is current and accurate. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a secure environment for all students.

Summer has just begun, but now is the time to be aware of school start dates, Spring Break, Early Dismissals, and more.

REQUIRED PLANNERS

Specific planners for each grade level are required. Planners must be purchased through the school in order to have the same planner for all scholars in the grade level. Once purchased, we will write the scholar's name on the planner and deliver it to the classroom.

Please be sure to include your scholar's full name and grade level in the description of your order.

School Supplies (K - 4th)

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we want to remind you that if your child is in K-4th grade, you have the option to purchase school supplies yourself by using the list provided at the link below. Alternatively, you can conveniently order a complete supply kit from Sprouts, which includes everything your child needs for the year with the link below.
