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 />

IT’S SCHOOL TIME AGAIN!<br />

You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is<br />

over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school<br />

because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends and maybe even<br />

a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little<br />

while. Let’s find out more about going back to school.<br />

Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themselves and<br />

talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give<br />

students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the<br />

class. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over<br />

classroom rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Pay close<br />

attention so you’ll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question<br />

and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.<br />

You might already know a lot of kids in your classes on the first day.<br />

But it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you<br />

know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be<br />

glad you did and so will your new friend! Sixth grade often signals a move<br />

to middle school or junior high, where you’ll find lockers and maybe a<br />

homeroom. This is just what it sounds like a classroom you’ll go to each<br />

morning, kind of like your home in the school. In middle school, you<br />

might move from classroom to classroom for each subject. Your teachers<br />

know that this is a big change from elementary school and will help you<br />

adjust. Most teachers let you pick your own seat on the first day, but by<br />

the second or third morning, they’ll have mapped out a seating plan.<br />

At first, it’s a good idea to write down where your seat is in your notebook<br />

so you don’t forget. Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can<br />

make the first day a good one. You also can make the day feel special<br />

by wearing an outfit you like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on vacation<br />

or your new sneakers put a spring in your step. If you wear a uniform,<br />

you might wear a favorite watch, a new hair band or a piece of jewelry<br />

to show your personal style. It can make you feel good to be prepared<br />

and have all the supplies you need. Some schools distribute supply lists<br />

before the year begins, so you can come stocked up on pencils, folders<br />

and whatever else you’ll be needing. Once you’ve covered the basics,<br />

you might tuck an extra few dollars in your backpack for an emergency<br />

(like forgetting your lunch money). Or maybe you’d like to bring along a<br />

book or magazine to read while you’re on the bus. Whatever you put in<br />

your backpack, make sure you pack it the night before. This prevents the<br />

morning panic when you can’t find your homework or lunch box.<br />

Speaking of lunch, that’s something else that can help you feel good at<br />

school whether it’s the first day or the 100 th day. Help your parents pack<br />

it the night before if you don’t like what’s on the menu at the cafeteria.<br />

Try to include a variety of foods in your packed lunch, especially fruits<br />

and vegetables.<br />

The first day of school is your first chance to find your way around a new<br />

school or learn the pathways to new classes in your old school. It’s a<br />

lot to learn in one day, so don’t be surprised if you need a reminder or<br />

8<br />

two. It might help to write a few notes to yourself, so you’ll remember<br />

the important stuff, like your locker combination and that lunch starts<br />

at 11:43 AM, not 12:10 PM. Before you know it, your fingers will fly as you<br />

open your locker and you won’t have to check your notes to know what<br />

time lunch starts!<br />

What if you hate school by the end of day one? Teachers recommend<br />

giving things some time to sort themselves out once you know your way<br />

around the building and get adjusted to the new routine, you’ll probably<br />

feel better. If those feelings don’t fade, talk to your mom, dad, teacher or<br />

school counselor.<br />

Here are a few final tips for a fantastic school year:<br />

• Get enough sleep.<br />

• Eat a healthy breakfast.<br />

• Try your best.<br />

• Use good work habits, like writing down your assignments and turning<br />

in your homework on time.<br />

• Take your time with school work. If you don’t understand something,<br />

ask the teacher.<br />

• Keep a sense of humor. One teacher we know shows his new students<br />

a picture of himself graduating high school a grinning ape in a red<br />

graduation cap and gown. This usually makes the kids laugh and it’s<br />

a good way to remind them that school is fun! Questions or feedback<br />

please contact Carla Brownlee at girls1900@aol.com.<br />

NUTRITION SERVICES TEAM<br />

OFFERS FREE SUMMER MEALS<br />

Starting this summer, CFISD’s nutrition services department will offer<br />

children 18 and younger the healthy Seamless Summer Option (SSO)<br />

breakfasts and lunches at no cost to the child. “The SSO program is a<br />

great way for us to provide access to meals for our students during the<br />

summer months,” said Darin Crawford, director of nutrition services.<br />

“Kids need good nutrition to fuel their summer activities and we are<br />

thrilled to be able to continue to offer school meals during the long<br />

summer break.” SSO is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition<br />

program and is administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture.<br />

The meals offered through SSO give children who rely on school meals<br />

during the academic year a good source of nutrition during the long<br />

summer vacation. Summer meals help children return to school in the<br />

fall ready to thrive.<br />

All sites are open Monday-Thursday only. For a full list of sites, dates and<br />

times, visit the district website at: www.cfisd.net/en/parents-students/<br />

CFISD STUDENTS RECORD PERFECT<br />

SCORES ON ACT, SAT TESTS<br />

A select group of CFISD rising juniors and seniors and two recent<br />

graduates were among the notable high school students to earn the<br />

highest possible composite scores on the ACT assessment and SAT<br />

standardized tests over the last 12 months.<br />

Cypress Creek High School rising junior Samhitha Bandi and rising<br />

senior Hasan Abbasi, Cypress Woods High School rising senior Tristan<br />

Wiesepape and Cy-Fair High School rising senior Yash Aggarwal and <strong>2019</strong><br />

graduates Stephanie Pickrell and Tate Ward all earned the top composite<br />

ACT score of 36. In addition, Cypress Woods rising senior Angela Zhong<br />

earned the highest possible score on the SAT, recording a perfect 1,600.<br />

Less than two-tenths of 1 percent of all ACT test takers earn the top<br />

possible score. For the SAT, of the more than 2.1 million test takers in<br />

the Class of 2018, just seven percent scored a 1,400 or above. Many<br />

prepared by working through practice exams and preparatory questions<br />

and scenarios. They didn’t just focus on what they didn’t know right<br />

away, but also sections that took them longer than others. Tutoring<br />

sessions and other resources like Khan Academy, a non-profit online<br />

educational platform, helped prepare students for the test format as well<br />

as the material. Taking both tests within a few months of each other also<br />

Hwy 6 N.<br />

<strong>August</strong> 26th:<br />

Semester<br />

helped in the process, as material can be relevant to both exams even<br />

though the formats differ.<br />

The ACT incudes five sections (English, math, reading, science and<br />

writing), with each timed separately and the total exam taking 3 hours<br />

and 35 minutes to finish. The SAT can take 3 hours and 50 minutes to<br />

finish, as it includes five sections (reading, writing, math with and<br />

without a calculator and an optional essay). Rising seniors took the ACT<br />

in February during the school day, becoming a benchmark for some or a<br />

desired achievement for others. As far as passing on any tips or advice to<br />

other students preparing for the ACT and SAT, those who accomplished<br />

the perfect scores say it ranges from managing stress leading into the<br />

test days to simply practicing with sample questions and exams.<br />

13 CFISD SCHOOLS NAMED TO<br />

2018-<strong>2019</strong> TEXAS HONOR ROLL<br />

Thirteen CFISD schools have been named to the 2018-<strong>2019</strong> Texas Honor<br />

Roll, presented by the Educational Results Partnership (ERP). The ERP<br />

recognizes public elementary, middle and high schools that demonstrate<br />

high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in<br />

achievement over time and reduction in achievement gaps. For high<br />

schools, Honor Roll recognition includes measures of college readiness<br />

in students. The following CFISD schools are among the 855 public<br />

schools in Texas to be recognized:<br />

• Copeland Elementary School<br />

• Moore Elementary School<br />

• Pope Elementary School<br />

• Sampson Elementary School<br />

• Anthony Middle School<br />

• Aragon Middle School<br />

• Arnold Middle School<br />

• Bridgeland High School<br />

• Cy-Fair High School<br />

• Cypress Park High School<br />

• Cypress Ranch High School<br />

• Cypress Woods High School<br />

• Jersey <strong>Village</strong> High School<br />

“These Honor Roll schools are living proof that our students can succeed<br />

when schools are committed to removing educational obstacles and<br />

accelerating student success,” Dr. James Lanich, ERP president and CEO,<br />

said. “By focusing attention on these bright spots among our schools,<br />

we hope to change the conversation from ‘what’s wrong’ to ‘what’s<br />

working,’ and encourage others to replicate their success.” Texas Honor<br />

Roll schools will receive a free banner to display on their campuses and<br />

will be featured on the ERP website, where educators and policymakers<br />

can look for high-performing schools in order to replicate success.<br />
