STREET TREES & TREE STAKES 

With the change in seasons approaching, it is a good time to inspect the trees on your property 

and undertake trimming and maintenance, as necessary. Remember to give special 

attention to your street trees, those that are situated between the sidewalk and street. 

As live oaks mature, their branches have a tendency to dip down towards the ground 

and their canopy needs to be thinned and trimmed. The canopy of street trees needs 

to be pruned to ensure that the branches do not impede passing traffic. Unused tree 

stakes should also be removed, as they can become unsightly and should be removed 

within 2-3 years after tree planting.

LET US KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOODS LITTER FREE! 

Take responsibility for yourself and be a good neighbor! Keep our 

streets and neighborhood trash and litter free! Make it a habit, be a 

good neighbor and do your part! 

If each person did their own part (around the outside of their home 

including their little stretch of street in front of their house), what a 

better place this would be to live! 

A clean environment/neighborhood makes people feel good about 

themselves. They will keep it clean. Some need to be reminded. Others 

need to be continually reminded. It takes time to change habits. 

Keeping your neighborhood clean is a habit that takes conscious effort.

PETS REMINDERS 

Westheimer Lakes Community has had many loose dogs & cats lately. 

Please do your part to keep your animals safe and contained on your 

property. 

Please Control Your Pets! 

It is a deed restriction violation if your pets are not confined to a fenced 

backyard or within your home. They must not be allowed to bark all 

night or cause a nuisance to your neighbors. They must also be on a 

leash at all times when not in a contained environment. It is also the 

pet owner’s responsibility to keep ALL areas of the community FREE 

from pet debris when walking your pets. Please remember that cats 

must also be confined. 

If you happen to come across vicious dogs or ANY loose dogs of this 

nature, please contact Fort Bend County Animal Control at 281-342- 

1512. If you are familiar with the property address the pets belong to, 

please feel free to submit that information to FSR - Cody Ario at wln@ 

entouch.net - to pursue the deed restriction violation. Notification and 

ample time must be given to the owner to correct the violation prior to 

any further pursuit by the Association. 

Remember that all pets should always wear a collar with ID tag! Pet 

owners should also consider pet microchips for identification in case 

your pet loses their collar/ID tag.

OVER 250 KATY ISD ELEMENTARY CLASSES 

BENEFIT FROM PROMISE TO READ 

In November, 130 guest readers represented by 50 area businesses and community members across Katy brought the love of reading to 274 Katy ISD 

classrooms during Promise to Read. This annual initiative is part of a 21-year-old tradition led by Katy ISD’s Partners in Education. Promise to Read affords the 

community a unique opportunity to reacquaint themselves with the world of children’s literature by spending 30 minutes reading to a classroom of excited 

elementary students. Each November, the program is offered over the course of two weeks at various elementary campuses. 

This year’s Promise to Read was hosted at Alexander, Bryant, Golbow, Holland, Fielder, Katy, Shafer, Sundown, West Memorial and WoodCreek 

elementary schools. Host campuses rotate each year so that, over a four-year period, every Katy ISD elementary has an opportunity to participate. 

“Promise to Read has become a treasured community event thanks to hundreds of devoted community volunteers, many of whom join us every year 

and our Katy ISD host campuses,” says Janet Theis, Katy ISD’s Executive Director of Community Partnerships. “Promise to Read continues to open the

CINCO RANCH HIGH 

THANK YOU FOR GIVING 

TO KATY ISD FOOD FOR FAMILIES! 

Together, our Katy ISD community raised $37,500 for Food for Families.

ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY MODIFICATIONS 

APPROVED FOR NEW JUNIOR HIGH 

With the construction of Junior High #16 set to be completed just in 

time for the 2019-20 school year, Board of Trustee members considered 

and discussed attendance boundary modification (ABM) options, which 

would address the fast growth taking place in the southwest quadrant of 

Katy ISD. During the December Regular Board meeting, Trustees approved 

Option #1 which can be viewed on the Attendance Boundary Modification 

website www.katyisd.org/abm/pages/abm-2019-2020-JH16.aspx 

“Thanks to the voter approved November 2017 Bond, Junior High #16 will 

open in August of 2019,” said Chief Operations Officer Lee Crews. “Junior 

High #16 will open near capacity enrollment and provide population relief 

to Tays, WoodCreek and Seven Lakes junior high schools,” added Crews. 

After careful consideration, Option #1 was determined to be the best 

long-term solution for balancing Junior High enrollment in the southwest 

quadrant of Katy ISD.

INTERESTED IN HOSTING A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT? 

Now that the holidays are over and everyone is settling back down again into their 

daily lives, why not consider hosting a foreign exchange student for the 2019/2020 

school year. STS Foundation is now accepting applications from prospective host 

families - all it takes to host is to provide a place for the student to sleep, three meals 

a day and a willingness to share your life with one of our amazing students! 

Meet Emma from Denmark - Most of the time I’m a quite happy person. I’m very honest 

and thoughtful. I usually worry about others before myself. Usually I’m not shy and I 

don’t have a problem making new acquaintances. I’m helpful and enjoy helping others 

out. I also love to hang out with my friends after school. I’m not very sporty, but I still 

like the thought of staying healthy, so I go for a run with a friend sometimes, I like to 

read books, but I also enjoy writing. Different short stories, mostly just for me. I also 

enjoy dancing. It’s not something I go to, because of the not so good opportunities in 

my area. I really like to act as well. We only have one drama school in my area and it 

isn’t very good, but I have been in a few school plays. 

And here’s Diego from Spain - I am a very active and sportive boy. I am also a very 

sociable person, so I think this experience may be a good one. Meeting new people 

and having new friends are some of the things I would enjoy about this experience. 

I’m a person who has lots of interests, for example I am always wanting to learn new 

things such as the culture of other countries or even at school I’m interested in nearly 

all the subjects. I think that I am also very mature and self-motivated. My interests are 

mostly related to sports (swimming, skiing and playing soccer), but I also have other 

cultural interests. For example, I love geography, knowing every place and learning 

interesting facts about them. I’m also interested in cooking. I usually cook on weekends 

with my father and we make really good dishes. Finally, I like to play videogames with 

my friends or going out with them. We usually go to the movies or to have dinner. 

If you are interested in learning more about Emma, Diego or any of our other students, 

please give me a call - I’d love to talk to you about hosting! I can be reached at 832- 

455-7881 or at vicki.stsfoundation@yahoo.com.

PET ANNOUNCEMENTS 

ANIMAL / PET CONTROL 

Please respect your neighbor’s yard and their personal space. Remember, 

that pets must be confined to a fenced backyard or within 

the house and must not be allowed to bark all night long or cause 

a nuisance to neighbors. They must be on a leash at all times when 

away from this contained environment. It is also the pet owner’s 

responsibility, when walking their pet within the subdivision, to keep 

ALL areas free of pet debris. Please remember that cats must also 

be confined. Animal control can be reached by calling 281-342-1512 

and will pick up strays and/or unconfined pets. 

FORT BEND COUNTY “LEASH LAW” 

Animal control authorities are permitted to enter your Property to patrol and 

remove pets. Pets must be registered, licensed and inoculated as required 

by law. 

As a dog owner, you are responsible for the control of your dog. If your dog is 

one that ‘makes objectionable noise,’ you must make every effort to respect 

your Neighbor’s right to their ‘peace and quiet.’ 

When your dog is not in your yard, it is imperative that you keep your dog on a 

leash at all times. While your dog is friendly to you and your family, imagine the 

consequences if it were to harm someone while it was ‘roaming free.’ 

Please respect other resident’s right to walk the common area ground 

without fear of attack from an unleashed dog. 

Laws are written to ensure that owned animals are confined to their property 

or kept on a leash to free a community of unrestrained and free-roaming 

animals. Although most dog bites occur on the property where the 

dog lives, unrestrained or free-roaming dogs do pose a substantial threat 

to the public. In addition, unrestrained animals are at increased risk of 

being bitten by rabies infected wildlife. Enforcement of restraint laws is 

essential in enhancing the animal control program’s efforts to reduce the 

risk of rabies in our community. 

LICENSING OF DOGS AND CATS 

The primary benefit of licensing animals is identification, 

should that animal become lost. Licensing also: 

• Ensures that rabies vaccination are current. 

• Allows for quick identification in case of a bite incident. 

• Provides revenue to offset the administration costs 

of the animal control program. 

VACCINATION 

Rabies vaccinations are a prerequisite for licensing dogs and cats because 

they are an important control measure for the public health threat of rabies. 

In addition to protecting pets, rabies vaccinations provide a barrier 

between infected wild animals and humans. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly 

restrained please contact:

Rosenberg, TX 77471 - 281-342-1512
