Garden Tips<br />

For <strong>August</strong><br />

• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.<br />

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves<br />

and dead wood. Light green leaves may signify lack of<br />

iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates.<br />

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little<br />

bone meal around the roots.<br />

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall<br />

growth.<br />

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.<br />

• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have<br />

areas of thin and/or dead turf where they weren’t<br />

brought under control. There is a new generation going<br />

now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban<br />

to stop the damage.<br />

• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. <strong>August</strong>ine<br />

grass grows slowly. If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a<br />

fast turnaround. The sod may look like it’s not growing<br />

while it puts down roots. You will need to water the<br />

new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also<br />

creates a disease environment. Water early so the sun<br />

can dry the turf.<br />

• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up,<br />

add organic material, mix it in, then let them cure for<br />

a month or so. Add in any amendments like micronutrients.<br />

Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms<br />

have a favorable environment.<br />

Bus Driving Parents will have the opportunity to further their role in their<br />

student’s education and drive their student’s school on field trips. BDP’s<br />

will be vetted and trained through Katy ISD, as well as be compensated for<br />

the time they drive. Once they’ve earned their Commercial Driver’s License<br />

(CDL), completed training and earned driving hours, BDP’s will be able to<br />

drive students to field trips as often as they want. While the training upfront<br />

can take time, Bus Driving Parents will help to provide an incredible service<br />

to the district and expand learning experiences for students. To apply and<br />

TWENTY-FOUR KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN<br />

TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION<br />

What better way for Katy Independent School District to end the 2018-<br />

19 school year! Out of its 65 campuses, Katy ISD is proud to announce<br />

that 24 of its schools were named a Texas Honor Roll School by the<br />

Educational Results Partnership (ERP).<br />

The 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll includes:<br />

Elementary: Alexander, Creech, Griffin, Holland, Kilpatrick, Randolph,<br />

Shafer, Stanley, Williams, Wilson and Wolman.<br />

Junior High: Beck, Beckendorff, Katy, McMeans, Memorial Parkway,<br />

Seven Lakes, Tays and WoodCreek.<br />

High School: Cinco Ranch, Mayde Creek, Seven Lakes, Taylor and<br />

Tompkins.<br />

After an extensive analysis of student data, ERP found that these Katy ISD<br />

schools were clear leaders in getting students to grade level and beyond.<br />

The 2018-19 Texas Honor Roll recognizes public elementary, middle<br />

and high schools that consistently demonstrate high levels of student<br />

academic achievement, improvement in student outcomes over time and<br />

a closing of the achievement gaps. For high schools, the Texas Honor Roll<br />

recognition includes measures of college readiness. This year, the program<br />

recognized 855 higher performing schools across the state. These schools<br />

become an accepted example to other school districts seeking to learn<br />

and replicate the best practices employed at these campuses. Katy ISD<br />

schools will be provided with a banner to display at their campus.<br />
