PROTECT ONE OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE 

INVESTMENTS BY DEVELOPING A CONSISTENT 

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 

By doing some simple preventative maintenance, you can extend the life 

of your home and minimize costly repairs. 

Painting - It is important to put a good coat of paint on your home which 

may mean painting every three to five years on an average, depending 

on the quality of the paint. Painting obviously improves the appearance 

of your home and protects your wood or hardiplank from the elements 

reducing rot. Don’t forget your ACC application along with paint color 

samples, which must be processed and approved first! 

Power washing - Take a walk around your property. If you see green 

or black mildew on your home and driveway, you can power wash the 

mildew off your gutters, home exterior, driveway and sidewalk. This small 

step of maintenance can keep your property looking well maintained. 

Gutters - Gutters need to be cleaned out on a regular basis. This time 

of year they fill up with pine needles and leaves. If the gutters are full of 

leaves and pine needles, they will not drain properly and will need to be 

cleaned. The extra weight will cause the gutter nails to become loose and 

the gutter will sag or fall from your home. Gutters are important as they 

protect the fascia boards. 

Landscaping - Trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers add a great deal to 

the value of your home and the community. Remember that over time 

trees and shrubs can become overgrown and unsightly. Please keep your 

landscaping well-trimmed and yard edged so that it enhances your home 

and does not interfere with the street. 

Street Parking - Please keep in mind that that the streets belong to the 

City. Please report all street parking to Harris County Constable Precinct 4 

non-emergency line at 281-376- 3472. 

If you would like to report any violations please do so. 

Any questions please contact Angela Rivera at 281-213-3184 or via email 

at angela.rivera@associa.us and/or Emma Deatherage at 713-329-7141 or 

via email at edeatherage@pmghouston.com. 

NOTICE OF SAFETY ISSUE 

It was brought up to the HOA Board’s attention at the last meeting about 

the parking situation on streets. As a kind reminder to residents of Cypress 

Mill, if possible, please try to park your vehicles in your driveway. It is 

causing a safety situation, obstructing the view of passing children and 

may cause an issue for emergency vehicles. 

FOR NEW RESIDENTS 

If you are new to Cypress Mill Angela Rivera: 281-213-3184 and or via email 

at angela.rivera@associa.us or Emma Deatherage: 713-329-7141 and or via 

email at edeatherage@pmghouston.com. To find out about the amenities

• Index 1: Student Achievement - Measures how many students passed 

the STAAR at the current passing standard; 

• Index 2: Student Progress - Measures how many students made 

progress from 2015 to 2016; 

• Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps - Measures the progress of students 

in the economically disadvantaged student group along with the two 

lowest-performing student groups from the previous year; and 

• Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness - Measures how many students 

passed the STAAR at the final recommended standard on two or more 

tests (all levels) and graduation rate, graduation diploma plan and a 

postsecondary component (high schools only). 

“High expectations, believing all students can be successful, and doing 

whatever it takes to help student achieve is the attitude you find at all of 

our campuses,” said Dr. Linda Macias, CFISD associate superintendent of 

curriculum & instruction and accountability. “Our campus administrators, 

teachers and district team are committed to providing our students with 

quality instruction, monitoring their success and offering support when 

needed. Our schools have once again achieved the ‘Met Standard’ rating 

and reached the target for all four indices that are a part of the state 

accountability system. I’m very proud of the work they do.”

CFISD CAMPUSES EARN 

2017 DISTINCTION DESIGNATIONS 

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) released its annual distinction 

designations for campuses earning the accountability rating of Met 

Standard. Campuses that receive an accountability rating of Met Standard 

are eligible to earn distinction designations, which are awarded for 

achievement and progress in the following areas: 

Academic Achievement in English Language Arts/Reading; 

Academic Achievement in Mathematics; 

Academic Achievement in Science; 

Academic Achievement in Social Studies; 

Top 25%: Student Progress; 

Top 25%: Closing Performance Gaps and 

Postsecondary Readiness. 

Each campus is assigned to a unique comparison group made up of 

Texas schools that are most similar to it. The groups are determined on 

grade levels served, size, percentage of students who are economically 

disadvantaged, mobility rate. It also includes the percentage of English 

language learners, students receiving special education services and 

students enrolled in an Early College High School program. 

A campus earns a distinction designation if it is in the top quartile of its 

comparison group for Top 25% student progress and Top 25% closing 

performance gaps and at least 33 percent (high schools) and 50 percent 

(elementary and middle schools) of the indicators used to award the 

distinction in the other areas. 

Campuses earning one or more of these distinction designations met 

rigorous criteria to earn the highest level of recognition in the state 

accountability system. 

Eight CFISD campuses earned all possible distinction designations for 

their respective campus levels: 

Hancock, Holbrook, Lee, Pope and Sampson elementary schools; 

Arnold Middle School and 

Cypress Park and Langham Creek high schools. 

“Our commissioner of education has previously shared that earning one 

or more Distinction Designations is noteworthy and should be a source 

of pride,” said Dr. Linda Macias, CFISD associate superintendent of 

curriculum & instruction and accountability. “We are certainly proud of 

all of our campuses that earned distinction designations and recognize 

the commitment of our administrators, teachers and our community to 

providing our students with a quality education. Striving for excellence 

is a common thread among our campuses and earning all the Distinction 

Designations available to a campus is a tremendous accomplishment.”

Fall Exhibits Open September 30 th 

This fall, the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is thrilled to present an 

exhibition titled Anat Ronen: Urban Legend. After coming to the U.S. 

from Israel in 2007, Anat Ronen embarked on a new career in art and has 

become one of the most exciting and highly regarded street artists of our 

day-though she has no formal training in art. Typically she works on largescale 

projects that can reach over 30 feet tall, with more than 500 pieces 

in public spaces including highways, bridges, buildings, churches and 

schools. 

Also this fall, the museum will present Contemporary Quilt Art from the 

International Quilt Festival Collection. For more than three decades, 

Karey Bresenhan, founder of the Houston International Quilt Festival and 

Nancy O’Bryant Puentes have been purchasing studio art quilts for their 

corporate collection. For the first time ever, part of this collection has been 

assembled into a nationally-touring exhibition of 25 quilts and the Pearl is 

delighted to be one of the stops on that tour. 

Fall exhibits will open Saturday, September 30 th . The Pearl Fincher 

Museum of Fine Arts is open from 10 AM-5 PM Tuesday through Saturday. 

Admission is free, but a suggested donation of $5 per adult is appreciated.

Childhood 

Obesity Month 

September is National Childhood 

Obesity Awareness Month. This 

is an opportunity to learn about 

ways to prevent and address this 

serious health concern. Childhood 

obesity is a major public health 

problem. 

• Children who have obesity are 

more likely to have obesity as 

adults. This can lead to lifelong physical and mental health problems, 

including diabetes and increased risk of certain cancers. 

• Children who have obesity face more bullying and stigma. 

• Childhood obesity is influenced by many factors: too much time spent in 

sedentary activities such as television viewing; a lack of bedtime routine 

leading to too little sleep; a lack of community places to get adequate 

physical activity; easy access to inexpensive, high calorie snacks and 

beverages; and/or a lack of access to affordable, healthier foods. 

Ways parents can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in 

children. 

• Energy balance is important. Parents can make sure children get 

adequate sleep, follow recommendations on daily screen time, take part 

in regular physical activity and eat the right amount of calories. 

• Substitute higher nutrient, lower calorie foods such as fruit and 

vegetables in place of foods with higher-calorie ingredients, such as 

added sugars and solid fats. 

• Serve children fruit and vegetables at meals and as snacks. 

• Parents can ensure access to water as a no-calorie alternative to sugarsweetened 

beverages. 

• Help children get the recommended amount of physical activity each day 

by encouraging them to participate in activities that are age-appropriate 

and enjoyable. 

• Addressing obesity can start in the home, but also requires the support 

of communities.

NEW LAWS 

IN TEXAS 

EFFECTIVE IN 2017 

The Texas legislature met from 

January through May and passed 

several new laws as well as 

changed laws that will go into 

effect in 2017. They range from 

texting while driving, drones, to 

swords, to protecting good Samaritans. Below are a few laws that are 

effective immediately or going into effective September 1 st . 

Texting While Driving 

Effective September 1 st , there will be a statewide band on texting 

while driving. The bill bans drivers from texting while a vehicle is 

moving, making it a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine ranging 

from $25 to $99, with penalties up to $200 for repeat offenders. The 

law allows drivers to use their phones for GPS and would not allow 

violators to be fined under both state law and local ordinances. 

People Allowed to Carry Swords 

People can carry bowie knives, swords, daggers and spears in public 

under a law that goes into effect September 1 st . Current law allows 

people to carry knives no more than 5.5 inches long. While it will be 

okay to carry the larger weapons in public, it is illegal to take into 

bars, schools, colleges, churches, sporting events and numerous other 

facilities. 

Amnesty for Sex Assault Witnesses 

Students who witness and report a sexual assault while they are 

involved in illegal activity, such as drinking, would be given amnesty. 

Recording Higher Ed Sex Assaults Electronically 

Effective immediately, this law will allow college employees and 

students to submit electronic and anonymous reports of sexual 

assaults to their institutions. 

Ridesharing Returns 

Last year some ridesharing companies, like Uber and Lyft, were 

mandated to fingerprint drivers before they could pick up customers 

in their cities. Effective immediately, this new law, bans cities from 

enforcing similar measures on these types of ridesharing companies. 

Cheaper to Carry a Gun 

Effective September 1 st the fees for carrying a gun in Texas are now 

cheaper under Senate Bill 16. The law lowers fees for a first-time 

license to carry a handgun from $140 to $40 and the renewal fee is also 

reduced from $70 to $40. 

Be Careful Where You Fly your Drone 

Effective September 1 st the state has banned unmanned aircraft, like 

drones, over correctional and United States Immigration, Customs 

Enforcement detention facilities and large sports venues. Exceptions 

include unmanned aircraft authorized by a law enforcement agency or 

with the permission of the operator of the sports venue. 

David’s Law 

The new state law on cyber bullying makes it a Class A misdemeanor to 

harass or cyberbully someone under age of 18 through text messages, 

social media, websites or other means with the intent to cause them to 

commit suicide or harm to themselves. 

Voter ID changes 

If don’t have a valid photo id, voters will be able to cast their ballots if they 

show some other documentation with their name and home address 

(Bank statement or Utility bill). Voters would also need to sign an affidavit 

saying there is a good reason they don’t have a valid photo ID. 

No More Straight-Ticket Voting 

Straight ticket voting is out! Voters will no longer be allowed to cast 

their ballot for an entire slate of Republican or Democratic candidates. 

You will now have to vote for each candidate individually. 

Lottery Winners 

Effective September 1 st . Individuals who win prizes of at least $1 

million can choose to remain anonymous and prohibit the release of 

all personal information to the public. 

Civil Protections for Good Samaritans 

Effective September 1 st a new law protects good Samaritans from 

civil lawsuits if they break in a vehicle if they have reason to belief the 

person is in imminent harm, has first notified 911, uses appropriate 

amount of force and remains with the individual in a safe location. This 

replaces current law that leaves good Samaritan open to civil suits. 

No More Suspensions for Young Students 

Effective immediately. Schools can no longer suspend students below 

third grade. Instead public schools need to discipline children in a way 

that enforces positive behavior. 

More Frequent Background Checks for College Referees 

Effective September 1 st sport officials registered with the UIL will have to 

undergo criminal background checks every three years instead of just one. 

Help for Relatives Caring for Abused Children 

The state will now pay $350 a month to families caring for abused or 

neglected children they are related to. Currently the state pays families 

$1,000 initially and $500 a year. 

Attacking Police Officers is Now Officially a Hate Crime 

If a person attacks a former or current law enforcement officer they 

could be found guilty of committing a crime. The change puts crimes 

against law enforcement in the same category as crimes based on a 

person’s race, color, disability, religion, national origin, age, gender or 

sexual preference.

In a cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients until emulsified. 

Drizzle the dressing over the serving bowl and toss until well mixed. 

Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. For best flavor, let 

the mixture marinate for at least 20 minutes before serving. If you’re 

adding avocado, mix it in just before serving.
