WORDS FROM THE ABT BOD
Well the nearly constant rain that we had in June and first part of July
has subsided and we are now faced with extreme heat every day. What a
change in weather patterns. But you know what they say, in Texas, “If you
do not like the weather, just wait, it will change.”
I am sure that we all are watching the dramatic increase in cases of
Covid-19 being reported in Texas each day. With this the Board of Directors
are watching and now wondering if we will be able to open the pool at
all this year. We hope that everyone in our community is safe and healthy
and we would like to see everyone stay that way. I wish I could provide a
definitive date, but we still have a lot of Covid-19 cases each day.
We are beginning the plans for National Night Out on October 6, 2020.
Hopefully by then, we will be able to have great outdoor gatherings,
without putting people at risk. Last year we had such a fantastic show
from our community and hope to see it to continue to grow. However,
the residents of our community remains our upmost concern at this time.
For further updates and more recent information join us at www.
facebook.com/groups/Aberdeentrailshoa.
Thanks, Andy Finney - President, Aberdeen Trails HOA BOD
MEET YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

short biography of themselves.

of Aberdeen Trails since 1995. Have been an accountant my entire life.

hours volunteering with the Houston Cy-Fair Lions Club. Am married for
over 51 years; 4 children, 5 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
Kristen Dunn - Long-term residence and active Board member.
Jason Oxner - Director of the Homeowners Association and resident of

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS
The Board of Directors meet monthly in the community and homeowners
are welcome to attend. Please contact management to obtain the meeting
date and time in advance, as the schedule and location may change from
time to time. You are also welcome to email management any questions
or concerns you may have to scarey@highsierramanagement.com if you
are unable to attend meetings and the Board of Directors will be happy
to send you a response. As a reminder, monthly financials, governing
documents, meeting minutes, forms, schedules, etc. are updated on the
Association website for your review at any time.
STREETLIGHTS
Please report any lights that are out, blinking or on during the day. Part
of your annual Homeowners fee pays for your streetlights, whether they
work or not. If a light is out in your area, please call 713-207-2222 or go
to www.centerpointenergy.com/outage and report it. Each light pole
should have a 6-digit number on it. When reporting the light, you will
need to provide the pole number and closest intersection or address. We
want all our lights to work… a well lit area is a safe area!
SIGNS ON MAILBOXES, LIGHT POLES
AND STREET SIGNS
If you place signs in and around the neighborhood for Garage Sales,
Lost Pets, etc., please make sure you remove them in a timely manner.
Remember that postal boxes are the property of the USPS and it is a
crime to attach anything to the cluster mailboxes! Please help to keep
Aberdeen Trails looking beautiful!
THE CITY OF HOUSTON URGES RESIDENTS TO SIGN
UP FOR EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS
The City of Houston, in partnership with the Greater Harris County
9-1-1 Emergency Network, is now offering emergency notifications
to mobile phones through the Emergency Notification System (ENS).
These emergency alerts will help residents get more information about
emergencies in their neighborhoods, such as hazardous chemical spills,
floods and large fires. Staying informed is an important way of keeping
yourself and your family safe when emergencies occur. Landline home or
work telephones are already a part of the ENS system and now residents

can register their cell or internet phone numbers so they can be alerted
about an emergency in their community. It’s simple and easy; sign-up at
the City of Houston Office of Emergency Management website http://
alert.houstonoem.org or http://911.org and register up to four telephone
numbers. Houstonians can also register for ‘Alert Houston,’ the City of
Houston’s Email Notification System, which sends emails to residents
when emergencies affecting a large portion of the city occur, such as
severe weather and hurricanes. Find out more about both AlertHouston
and ENS by visiting http://alert.houstonoem.org.
RECREATION VEHICLES AND TRAILERS
We have been receiving numerous reports about all terrain vehicles being
ridden along the drainage ditch areas and power line easements. As a
reminder, this is private property and we have instructed the Constable
Patrol to monitor the areas and write citations for trespassing, as well as
deterring safety hazards. We have also noticed personal utility trailers being
parked behind fences along the drainage ditch and will be collecting license
plate information to determine ownership for violation notices from the
Association, as well as the Constable Patrol issuing citations for trespassing
on private property. Towing of the trailers could be an end result as well.
CONSTABLE PATROL
As a reminder, the Association has a patrol contract through Harris County
Precinct 5 Constable. We share 40 hours of patrol per week at random
time with Aberdeen Trails HOA. Please add the following dispatch
number to your cell phones or post in a visible place at home in case you
need support in a non life-threatening situation. Their non-emergency
dispatch number is 281-463-6666. The Constable Patrol also offers a free
vacation watch service. Log on to their website at www.co.harris.tx.us/
pct5/forms.aspx to obtain a form and learn more about the program.
LOITERING AND VANDALISM
Please help us to keep our recreation areas safe and clean by reporting
any and all loitering after dark directly to the Constable and then to
management. Please also remember to report any suspicious persons
walking around the community or at the parks immediately to the
Constable Patrol non-emergency dispatch number at 281-463-6666.
Better safe than sorry!
HOME IMPROVEMENTS
It’s that time of year again where everyone is out and about sprucing
up their yards and performing the “honey-do’s” on their homes. Please
remember that any change or improvement to the exterior of your home
or lot (even in the back yard) must be applied for through the Association
prior to starting. You can find a copy of the home improvement guidelines
and application on the website at www.highsierramanagementonline.com

PET POLICY AND ETIQUETTE
We understand your pets are very important to you and want to be a pet
friendly community. However, we have received many complaints that
there are pet owners not following the rules of the community when it
comes to pet etiquette. Please, be aware and make a conscious effort to
the adhere to the following guidelines:
• Only two pets per household - refer to governing documents regarding
height and weight limits.
• Pick up pet waste and discard properly.
• Do not allow pets to roam around the community unrestrained - it’s the
law! This includes cats too!
• Do not allow dogs to bark continuously disturbing neighbors.

CLASSES FOR 2020-2021 START
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH
The CFISD Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to modify
the 2020-2021 instructional calendar during a special-called meeting on
July 21.
The newly approved calendar pushes back the first day of instruction
to Tuesday, Sept. 8. The later start date allows the district more time
to monitor and evaluate the current health conditions in Harris County
related to COVID-19. Additionally, with the recent authorization of the
district to implement 1:1 technology for students, the delayed start date
will provide more time for the district to distribute Chromebooks and
internet devices to students with a demonstrated need.
Other changes include the modification of professional development
days for teachers and a return to duty of Friday, Aug. 14.
The last day of school is scheduled for June 3; however, weekdays from
June 7-30 are reserved as closure make-up days in case additional days
are needed as a result of COVID-19 or other natural disasters.
To download the 2020-2021 school calendar, visit the CFISD website at
www.cfisd.net/en/calendar/
BOARD APPROVES PURCHASE OF
CHROMEBOOKS, INTERNET ACCESS TO SUPPORT
1:1 TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION FOR ALL STUDENTS
The CFISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted in favor of authorizing
the superintendent to approve the purchase of portable electronic
devices for students, LTE internet access for students and other items
needed to support a one-to-one solution through the Department of
Information Resources (DIR) purchasing cooperative at an amount not to
exceed $44 million during a special-called meeting on July 7 th .
The purchase will support CFISD LTE 1:1 (Learning Together Everywhere),
which provides every student with an electronic device to support
quality instruction and resources. The program allows CFISD to meet
the needs of all students by providing appropriate teacher-directed
instruction, including real-time live virtual instruction as outlined in the
Texas Education Agency’s Strong Start 2020-21 plan.
“All of our students need quality instruction from their teachers,” said Dr.
Linda Macias, CFISD chief academic officer. “While nothing can replace
effective face-to-face instruction with a teacher, ensuring all students
have a Chromebook and internet access will allow them to receive
remote instruction that is teacher-directed and includes live virtual
instruction through the CFISD Connect platform. This will allow students
to be actively engaged in their learning while connecting with their
teachers and classmates.”
CFISD LTE 1:1 will function in two parts: Chromebooks featuring built-in
cameras, microphones and external protective cases; and internet access.

Hwy 6 N.
Devices will be managed through inventory systems, with accidental
damage protection and CFISD technicians will be available for repairs.
Safety layers will prevent unauthorized downloads, while a content filter
will be installed on all devices in compliance with the Children Internet
Protection Act. Each device also features a comprehensive reporting
and alerting system for Chromebooks, which facilitates locating and
recovering misplaced devices.
Internet access will be made available for students in households
indicating a need through mobile hotspots. In addition, CFISD is piloting
a program to broaden its reach by installing WiFi on buses.
The CFISD LTE 1:1 website (www.cfisd.net/lte) will provide parents and
students information on internet filtering, digital citizenship, device care,
technical support and additional online resources, including handbook
and guidelines for use, return process and reporting a device lost or
stolen.
Technology services team members will work collaboratively with school
leadership and the curriculum and instruction departments to distribute
devices to students and identify households in need of internet access.
“By providing a device for every student, we believe that the district is
taking a significant step to ensure that our students are positioned for
success,” said Karen Smith, CFISD chief financial officer. “The CFISD LTE 1:1
program ties Schoology and CFISD Connect together to complete a high
quality instructional program. This program positions our students to be
successful in all learning environments.”
The goal is to distribute devices prior to the first day of school (September
8 th ), though availability may ultimately determine the schedule for
distribution.
DR. KAYNE SMITH APPOINTED PRESIDENT OF THE
TEXAS ASSOCIATION FOR PUPIL TRANSPORTATION
Dr. Kayne Smith, CFISD director of transportation, was recently appointed
president of the Texas Association for Pupil Transportation (TAPT) in
conjunction with the association’s 2020 virtual awards ceremony. Smith

A TAPT executive committee member the past three years, Smith leads
one of the largest affiliate organizations to the National Association of
Pupil Transportation in helping facilitate networking and educational
opportunities. He served as parliamentarian for two years before serving
as president-elect for the 2019-2020 term. In addition, Smith has served
as the legislative committee chairperson since 2015.
“It was an honor to be elected as President of the Texas Association for
Pupil Transportation for 2020-2021,” Smith said. “I am excited to be able to
serve the countless school bus drivers, attendants, technicians, directors
and other staff members across the state whose purpose is to provide
a safe and healthy transportation service to the students of Texas. I am
deeply grateful for the support and encouragement from CFISD and my
team in transportation.”
The TAPT was formed in 1972 and held its first conference the next year.
A professional certification program was started in 1991 with class topics
including personnel management, student safety, operations, vehicle
maintenance and budgeting and reporting. In addition, TAPT offers
scholarship opportunities for students and adult members and contests
to promote safety of school bus transportation.
Smith returned to CFISD as the director of transportation in September 2018
after starting in 2014 as an area director at the Telge Transportation Center
and then as an assistant director of human resources for the transportation
department. He received his TAPT certification in 2008 and has served as an
instructor in numerous professional development courses.

25 CAMPGROUNDS WITHIN/AROUND
2 HOURS OF HOUSTON TX
It’s summertime and that means it’s time to get out the camping gear, fishing
poles and sun screen! There’s no better way to relax than to sit outside of the
tent you just set up and breathe in.
SAM HOUSTON NATIONAL PARK: NEW WAVERLY, TX
This gorgeous national park offers tent pads, picnic tables, parking spurs
for trailers, lantern posts, grills, potable water, and toilets. Hiking is very
popular in the spring when the climate is milder. Water activities get
going in the summer on Double Lake with canoes and paddleboats that
can be rented from the park. Deer is the most popular game animal in the
Sam Houston National Forest, with squirrels second. Quail and dove are
found around newly regenerated timberland. For the water sportsman,
fishing and duck hunting can be enjoyed on area lakes and streams.
BRAZOS BEND: NEEDVILLE, TX
This park has got plenty of options for activities during your stay. Lots
of trails, some of which are even wheelchair friendly, wind through the
woods and bring you to the water’s edge of the lake. Just make sure you’ve
brushed up on your alligator safety because they’re not uncommon in
certain areas of the park. Aside from walking or biking the trails, there’s
also the option of horseback riding on one of the multiuse trails.
LAKE CONROE KOA: MONTGOMERY, TX
Here’s a KOA that’s got your back this weekend if you’re trying to relax
to the max. Bring your RV here, up to 80’ and enjoy the cable tv, wifi,
hookups and pools to lounge in all day. If you haven’t got an RV, don’t
feel left out! You can stay in one of the 35 cabins that have bathrooms and
a full kitchen. Tent campers are welcome as well. Visitors can explore the
area and find the nearby golf course, restaurants and the lake has plenty
of recreational activities.
GALVESTON ISLAND STATE PARK: GALVESTON, TX
This park is a freaking island, so as far as camping goes you really can’t
go wrong with this option. There is hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching
and lots more. One of the many things that make this island campground
unique is the paddle trails they boast. Though, if you decide to go on these,
you’ll need to bring your own canoe or kayak because they don’t rent them
out. Outside the campground, there is an educational theme park called
Moody Gardens. Bring the kids along and there’ll be plenty of nature for
people of various interests to enjoy and participate in during the stay.
STEPHEN F. AUSTIN STATE PARK: SAN FELIPE, TX
This lovely State Park has six miles of hiking trails that are open to bikers
as well. Campsites have full hookups and some sites even hold up to 60
people. Stephen F. Austin State Park also holds events for youth over the

summer. Nearby attractions include but are not limited to: a neighboring
golf course, a beautiful riverbank to fish from and the San Felipe de
Austin State
HUNTSVILLE STATE PARK: HUNTSVILLE, TX
Here’s a State Park full of relaxation. You can go and unwind in the shade
of the trees and go fishing from one of the fishing piers or off your boat
or canoe. There are watercraft for rent including paddleboats, canoes and
kayaks. There’s even a bird blind to enjoy watching the local feathered
friends who flit about the forest.
SEA RIM STATE PARK: SABINE PASS, TX
This park has 4,000 acres of marsh and a boardwalk going through so you
can enjoy without getting your feet wet. Campers, cabin-dwellers and
RV-goers all have a place here at Sea Rim State Park. Feel free to fish from
the boardwalk or explore with your rented or own canoe or kayak. Sea
Rim also has the option to explore its grounds from home via their virtual
tour of the trails map.
NORTHLAKE RV RESORT: HOUSTON, TX
Come to Northlake RV Resort if you’re looking for a nice and relaxing place
to kick your feet up and breathe deeply. This resort has got a massive list of
amenities so it’s ridiculous to try to write them all here, but if you’re interested
you should definitely check out their website. Some of the best aspects of
this resort are the park-wide wifi, the stocked fishing lakes and the fire pits.
This place allows for extended stays and weekend trips, so regardless of your
plans you’ll definitely have plenty of options right next to home!
TRADERS VILLAGE RV RESORT:
Traders Village is a short drive for you and a wonderful place to stay. The
electric and water hookups are free, there is a pool for swimming, and
there’s wifi. Bring your picnic supplies so you can eat outside at the picnic
tables while enjoying the weather. You’re welcome to lounge around
and enjoy relaxing or you can go next door to the flea market that hosts
events and activities for visitors.
ALLSTAR RV RESORT: HOUSTON, TX
At AllStar RV Resort, they’ve got anything you could need while camping
in your RV and more. If you’ve got yourself a Fido who wanders himself
into a smelly situation, there’s a dog washing station here for your (and
your nose’s) convenience. Take advantage of the swimming pool, the
computer room, the recreation room and more. There’s also a stadium
nearby for baseball fans to watch their games.
ESCAPE THE PAVEMENT: HOUSTON, TX
There are actually two camping sites associated with Escape the Pavement
near Houston. There are four aspects to Escape the Pavement: Heyne
Ranch, Lake Houston Wilderness Park, Blackwood Land Institute and Big
Thicket National Preserve. It’s actually super great, because no matter
your flavor preference of outdoors experience, this place has got you. One
is a ranch for you and your horse to enjoy pastures, rivers and wooded
trails; perfect for a day trip. You’ll also love the bonfires on the beach! One
of their campgrounds has over 4,000 acres of forest and a creek that you
can go ahead and explore the trails winding around through it on your
horse, bike or on foot. The other area available for camping is restricted to
primitive camping only because it is located on a preserve. Lastly, the land
institute is a great educational place for kids and adults alike. Check out
their website if any of these interest you and start planning a trip!
LAKE SOMERVILLE: SOMERVILLE, TX
The campground and park are also full of opportunities for fun in the sun.
Water activities like swimming, skiing, fishing, and the likes are all great
ideas on Lake Somerville. There are picnic areas for campers or day hikers
to sit, enjoy the view, and munch on their sandwiches. Birdwatching,
volleyball, hiking and horseback riding are popular pass times. Overall,
this is a wonderful place to relax and play in the great outdoors.

SHELDON LAKE STATE PARK: HOUSTON, TX
Sheldon Lake State Park is open to fishing and wildlife observation. You’re
welcome to take your boat out for a ride or fish off the banks, so long as
you’re wary of the alligators inhabiting the park. The learning center has
tons of activities for the kids that you can sign up for and enjoy. Some
of these activities are more hands-on, like catch and release fishing
and some are visual demonstrations like green building technologies
or smart wildscape demonstrations for gardening and using beautiful
native plants.
BASTROP STATE PARK: BASTROP, TX
A forest with a history and personality, the Lost Pines located on Bastrop
State Park used to be a luscious and well-groomed forest before being
damaged by floods and fires. Now, the forest’s recovery is just as beautiful
a sight. The story itself is a perfect reason to visit, but Bastrop also has
swimming, biking, hiking and geocaching as an incentive. If you’re
looking to exploring the surrounding area, Bastrop also has museums
and restaurants to check out on your vacation!
BUESCHER STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX
Experienced bicyclists looking for a challenge will enjoy the bike trails
here at Buescher State Park. This park connects with Bastrop State Park via
a paved road with great views of the area. Unfortunately, there is currently
no swimming in this park, but if you adventure the short commute to the
nearby Bastrop you’ll find a nice swimming pool for visitors like yourself.
Lastly, if you’re hankering to float along in a tandem kayak or a canoe, you
can do so through rental at Buescher State Park.
LOCKHART STATE PARK: SMITHVILLE, TX
This park has a pool, grounds for camping, trails to hike and a nine-hole
golf course among many other things that allow you to get active! If you
want to go fishing but don’t want to lug around your equipment, you’re
in luck! The park has fishing equipment available for guests to use during
their stay. If you’re looking to have a gathering of people for a family or
church event, there is a Group Recreation Hall that also has a kitchen
capable of holding up to 75 people at once.
LAKE LIVINGSTON: LIVINGSTON, TX
If you’re looking for a beautiful place to host a family reunion, try looking
here! Campsites have full hookups and there are rentable screen shelters
as well. As long as you’re wary of the alligators that dwell in the area,
visitors can enjoy camping, hiking, birding, swimming, and biking. On
your way in and out you can stop at the souvenir shop that sells treats
and equipment!
LAKE LIVINGSTON KOA: ONALASKA, KOA
Here’s a popular KOA that you’ll probably need to make a reservation for
ahead of time to ensure you get yourself a spot for the night. There is
a beautiful pool with lounge chairs for you to relax and sink into while
soaking in the sun. Your kids will enjoy the playground. If you love
enjoying the great outdoors and its many inhabitants, there is a local bald
eagle named Eddie who supposedly flies around the area frequently.
There is also fishing, a pavilion to admire the scenery in, and is known for
the sunset views.
VILLAGE CREEK STATE PARK: LUMBERTON, TX
Campers interested in sleeping in tents, RVs or cabins are welcome here.
You’ll be able to go swimming, fishing, biking, hiking and more with your
friends and family. If you prefer to learn about your surroundings and its
history rather than being emerged in the real deal, there are programs
and museums aplenty for you to observe and glean information from
during your stay.
PALMETTO STATE PARK: GONZALES, TX
This little oasis has a multitude of thirsty plants that cannot live in other
areas due to the lack of water. The park is named for the dwarf palmettos
that grow beneath the trees. As a visitor, you can also enjoy the copious
amounts of flowing and stagnant water by swimming, tubing, fishing
and canoeing. Those interested in keeping dry will enjoy bird watching,
hiking, geocaching or staring at the dwarf palmettos.
VICTORIA COLETO CREEK LAKE KOA: VICTORIA, TX
Come to this RV and tent camping site to enjoy the lovely wildflowers,
scattered oaks, birds and other wildlife. There is a pond with catfish that you
can relax on the edge of while fishing and other areas for freshwater fishing.
The winters are not as frigid as up north, so you can always count on decent
weather should you decide to vacation here! There are plenty of places in the
area for you to check out, making it perfect for both short or extended stays.

Garden Tips For August
• Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects.
• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood.
Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron
cheleates.
• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around
the roots.
• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth.
• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies.
• Chinch bug damage is obvious now. You will have areas of thin and/
or dead turf where they weren’t brought under control. There is a new
generation going now. This batch causes the most damage. Use Dursban
to stop the damage.
• Until the weather gets back to the 80’s, St. Augustine grass grows slowly.
If you fill in with sod, don’t expect a fast turnaround. The sod may look
like it’s not growing while it puts down roots. You will need to water the
new sod often and deeply to get it started but this also creates a disease
environment. Water early so the sun can dry the turf.
• Now is a good time to work new beds. Till them up, add organic material,
mix it in, then let them cure for a month or so. Add in any amendments
like micro-nutrients. Keep the beds moist so the microorganisms have a
favorable environment.
