New Year's Eve Fireworks
USE COMMON SENSE & BE CONSIDERATE!
One of our traditional fireworks holidays is approaching. Please be considerate of your neighbors while enjoying the tradition of fireworks on New
Years’ Eve. Don’t use people, cars or houses as targets for bottle rockets and roman candles. It would be tragic to cause injury or damage on this
exciting holiday.
Please consider the following:
• Please don’t direct any fireworks at anything or anyone.
• Please don’t shoot fireworks off before 9 AM or after 10 PM on any day, (except New Year’s Eve: try to finish by no later than 1 AM).
• Avoid shooting fireworks that shoot up or fly through the air (especially in a dry season).
• If a car comes down the street, get out of its way and do not light any fireworks while it is passing.
• Don’t make the “fireworks holiday” turn into a month of fireworks. Often frightened pets must be taken inside while the fireworks are going off.
MOST IMPORTANT: Clean up the mess! Sweep the streets and drives (don’t forget to pick up the items that accidentally went into your neighbor’s yard).
If you have a problem with someone that is shooting off the fireworks, please call the your law enforcement’s office and ask for an officer to come by.

Katy Isd Announces Screening Deadline
For Gifted & Talented Students
Katy ISD students in grades 1-4 and 6-11 can be referred for screening
for the 2019-2020 gifted and talented program. Parents must complete
a Parent Checklist which can be obtained from the student’s school or
from the Katy ISD website.
The deadline for completing and returning the Parent Checklist is
December 5, 2018. Checklists which are not returned by the deadline
will not be screened for service for the 2019-2020 school year. The
State of Texas requires that various types of measures be used to
identify students for gifted programs which includes observations and
standardized tests. The program for elementary students consists of a
one-day pullout in the Challenge classroom with a teacher trained in
gifted education. Secondary GT students are clustered and served in
Pre AP and AP classes. Transfer students who were screened in Fall 2018
must wait one full academic year before they can be rescreened. Parents
may contact campus counselors, elementary Challenge teachers or G/T
facilitators if they have additional questions. They can visit the Katy ISD
GT and Advanced Academics webpage for more information.

Gardening
Tips
• If a long flowering period is desired, pansies should be placed in their permanent
beds not later than this month. Fertilize monthly with manure, super-phosphate or
a liquid high-phosphate product. Keep flowers picked for more bloom.
• Take tulips out of cold storage and plant late this month.
• Fertilize established trees, spring-blooming shrubs, spurias and sweet peas (after
they are a foot tall) with a fertilizer such as 13-13-13; Louisiana iris with cotton seed
meal and manure.
• Azaleas and camellias may be moved now. Keep moist to lesson cold weather
damage. May acidify again.
• Last month to plant early blossoming spring bulbs, speciosum and other varieties
of lilies. Mulch.
• Water plants well before a freeze; dry roots are easily damaged.
• Don’t forget to provide food and fresh water for birds. More birds die from lack of
water than lack of food.
