ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING<br />
Once again we are approaching <strong>April</strong> and our all-important<br />
Annual General Meeting. This meeting is your opportunity to<br />
meet your current Board members and this time to cast your<br />
vote for candidates to fill three of the seven director positions<br />
on the Board. Two of these are held by incumbents C.O. Holt<br />
and Dave Ellis, both of whom are prepared to serve again if<br />
reelected. But this year we also have the open positions left by the<br />
resignations of Chris Cox. All owners of record will be receiving by<br />
mail the official notification in accordance with our Bylaws. This<br />
notification will also include a proxy/absentee ballot form for the<br />
use of anyone who is unable to attend the meeting in person. You<br />
may use this form to vote for a candidate or to assign your vote<br />
to another person who you choose to vote on your behalf or you<br />
can forego your vote and submit your proxy for quorum purposes<br />
only. In order to conduct the meeting we must have a quorum<br />
of our members so it is very important that if you cannot attend<br />
in person that you complete and submit your completed proxy/<br />
absentee ballot form in accordance with the instructions that<br />
will be included in the package. This meeting will be held in the<br />
clubhouse at 1602 Hoyt Lane on Tuesday <strong>April</strong> 20 th . It will begin<br />
promptly at 7 PM following a 30-minute registration period.<br />
<strong>2021</strong> POOL SCHEDULE<br />
The <strong>2021</strong> pool schedule is now posted on our web site. Again this<br />
year our pool will be managed by A-Beautiful and we are looking<br />
forward to another great season. We hope the Corona virus<br />
situation continues to improve, but for the time being last year’s<br />
safety precautions will remain in place and access to the pool<br />
area will require everyone to submit a liability waiver in addition<br />
to having pool tags. At the appropriate time you will be able to<br />
request your tags via the Crest website and they will be mailed<br />
to you. Procedural details will be published when they become<br />
available closer to the start of the swim season. The good news<br />
is that as most of you are aware at the end of the 2020 season<br />
the pool was re-plastered and we now have a new diving Board<br />
installed as we continue to maintain and enhance the <strong>Settlement</strong>’s<br />
infrastructure. We invite all our residents to take advantage of our<br />
beautiful pool and looking forward to seeing you poolside!<br />
JOIN THE <strong>2021</strong> DOLPHIN SWIM TEAM!<br />
The swim team is excited to announce that registration is now open<br />
for the <strong>2021</strong> swim season! Last season we were one of the very few<br />
swim teams to have a season. We safely executed a “practice-only”<br />
season and gave our cooped-up kids a chance to get out of the<br />
house and swim. This season may still look a little different, but we<br />
are anticipating having some form of competitive meets against<br />
other teams. We have a new head coach who has been coaching<br />
swimmers for more than 10 years. We can’t wait for you to meet<br />
her! The rest of our coaches all grew up swimming for the Dolphins<br />
and they’re excited to see all those smiling faces again.<br />
Swimmers of all skill levels between 4 and 18 years old are<br />
welcome! (Note, swim team is not a substitute for swim lessons,<br />
swimmers should have at least a basic ability to swim)<br />
Practices will start <strong>April</strong> 26 th and the season runs through the end<br />
of June.<br />

<strong>2021</strong> COMMUNITY EVENTS<br />
Although our new Community Events chairperson, Michael<br />
Wood, is “straining on the leash” to begin organizing our <strong>2021</strong><br />
community events program, we are still faced with the challenge<br />
posed by the ongoing pandemic. At its February 23 rd meeting,<br />
the Board decided that, just as for clubhouse rentals, it would not<br />
be responsible to host events until we can do so safely and that<br />
events should not be scheduled while the Harris County threat<br />
level remains above level 3. Meanwhile Michael will be making<br />
preparations so that he can hit the ground running as soon as<br />
conditions become acceptable for holding such events.<br />

PET ID TAGS<br />
Folks - as soon as the vet gives your young pets their Rabies shot<br />
remember to get their ID tags. The Rabies tag lists the name,<br />
phone number and address of the vet. So! All you need to do is<br />
put the Rabies tag onto the pet’s collar and leave it there all the<br />
time. That way, if the pet gets loose, anyone finding him or her can<br />
look at the tag to see the vet’s phone number and call to report<br />
the lost animal. Better yet, add another tag to your pet’s collar<br />
that lists the dog or cat’s name and your own phone number or<br />
address. You can get these from any pet store. When a pet has<br />
these but goes astray, anyone finding it can call you and you can<br />
go get him or her right away. Your pet will be very glad to see you!<br />
A happy pet is a loving pet.<br />
STREET LIGHT OUTAGES<br />
To report a burned out streetlight, any resident may call<br />
CenterPoint directly at 713-207-2222. However, for those with<br />
Internet access, you may also make this report on-line. For those<br />
interested, you can go to http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/<br />
outage. Then enter your contact details so that they can get back<br />
to you if more information is required. On the following page<br />
enter the details of the light(s) with the problem. Just as you<br />
would if reporting the outage via the telephone, you will need<br />
to provide the street address where the light is located and the<br />
6-digit number that is prominently displayed on the front of the<br />
pole. Under normal circumstances the crew will be out to fix the<br />
problem within 7 working days.<br />
Anyone noticing a streetlight that is out or has some other<br />
malfunction is encouraged to report the problem to CenterPoint<br />
via either of these two methods without delay. Our Association is<br />
charged for every streetlight each month, irrespective of whether<br />
or not the light is functioning. So please help us get value for your<br />
hard earned money!<br />

VETERINARY PUBLIC HEALTH LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our<br />
residents. While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal<br />
running at someone who is walking by is very scary for that person.<br />
Many children are afraid of animals and become frightened, which<br />
could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.<br />
Veterinary Public Health (formerly called Harris County Animal<br />
Control) advises that, “All dogs and cats must be kept under<br />
restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas.<br />
The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor<br />
or keep any unlicensed dog or cat or to allow any dog or cat to<br />
become a stray.”<br />
Restraint is defined as the control of a dog or cat under the<br />
following circumstances:<br />
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more then six (6)<br />
feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being who<br />
is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question.<br />
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle.<br />

COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOL UPDATES<br />
CONTINUED CAMPUS PHASE 1 SAFETY PROTOCOLS<br />
Katy ISD Campus Phase 1 Safety Protocols remain in effect to ensure the continued<br />
mitigation and deterrence of the potential spread of COVID-19. The District anticipates<br />
releasing Phase 2 protocols when state, local and the Texas Education Agency (TEA)<br />
provide updated guidance allowing for de-escalation of virus mitigation protocols. Katy<br />
ISD will provide updates as additional information becomes available. Please check the<br />
Katy ISD “Smart Restart” webpage to review current Campus Phase 1 Safety Protocols.<br />
KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES CALL<br />
FOR A MAY <strong>2021</strong> SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION<br />
The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved to hold a general election in<br />
May <strong>2021</strong> for a three-year term in Positions 6 and 7.<br />
• Early Voting by Personal Appearance: Mon, <strong>April</strong> 19 to Tues, <strong>April</strong> 27, <strong>2021</strong><br />
• Election Day: Saturday, May 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Currently, Position 6 is being held by Susan Gesoff and Position 7 is held<br />
by Dawn Champagne. State law requires a candidate for trustee of an<br />
independent school district to be a qualified voter by the time mentioned<br />
in Election Code Section 141.001. Katy ISD trustees are the governing body<br />
of the school district and are the main advising group that oversees and<br />
shapes policies. Individuals serving as Board members are not employees<br />
of Katy ISD, yet they dedicate countless hours to lead an A+ school district.<br />
KATY VIRTUAL SCHOOL REGISTRATION OPEN<br />
For students, virtual classes are an excellent way to acquire graduation credits<br />
and/or expand their learning opportunities. Last year, over 4,000 students<br />
utilized the Katy Virtual School (KVS) program offered by the Katy Independent<br />
School District. KVS launched in 2013 with a primary goal of expanding the<br />
learning opportunities for students by offering choice and flexibility for rigorous<br />
online courses developed and taught by Katy ISD teachers. KVS has begun<br />
online registration for Summer <strong>2021</strong>, Fall <strong>2021</strong> and Spring 2022 semesters.<br />
“KVS provides online learning that offers a flexible, online experience, which<br />
helps students achieve their educational goals,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD<br />
Instructional Technology e-Learning Manager. “The virtual model of e-learning<br />
is in high demand and delivers quality instruction to Katy ISD students, outside<br />
of normal school hours, to support student graduation plans. KVS is different<br />
from the current Katy Virtual Academy (KVA), which is the online learning<br />
model implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” added Richards.<br />
KVS will offer a wide range of courses from Creative Writing, AP Art<br />
History, English III, World Geography, Economics, Psychology and more.<br />
There are over 30 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced Program<br />
(KAP) and academic level courses available to students with additional<br />
opportunities being added each year. The cost per course is $200 per<br />
semester. KVS is an approved College Board online provider for Advanced<br />
Placement (AP) courses and by the NCAA for student initial eligibility.<br />
For more information, students can talk with their campus counselor for<br />
additional information, email KVS at katyvirtualschool@katyisd.org or<br />
visit the Katy ISD Virtual School website.<br />
Please note: Katy Virtual School and Katy Virtual Academy are two<br />
separate programs. Katy Virtual School is a supplemental program to<br />
help entering or present high school students take courses in advance.<br />

EIGHTEEN KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN<br />
TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION<br />
Katy Independent School District is focused on closing the achievement<br />
gap and helping all its students reach academic success. To recognize<br />
those efforts, 18 Katy ISD schools now proudly display the distinction of<br />
being a Texas Honor Roll School by the Educational Results Partnership<br />
(ERP).<br />
After an extensive analysis of student data of every public school in<br />
Texas, these campuses demonstrated clear leadership in motivating<br />
and achieving academic success for its students at their grade-level<br />
and beyond. Sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education<br />
Excellence (CBEE), the ERP Honor Roll is the only school recognition<br />
program in the state that uses student achievement outcome data,<br />
making it a valuable resource for all schools to identify successful peers<br />
and learn about best practices that improve student success.<br />
The 2019-20 Texas Honor Roll includes:<br />
Elementary: Alexander, Holland, Kilpatrick, Pattison, Randolph, Shafer,<br />
Stanley, Wilson,<br />
Wolman<br />
Junior High: Beckendorff, Katy, Memorial Parkway, McMeans, Seven<br />
Lakes, Tays, WoodCreek<br />
High School: Tompkins, Seven Lakes<br />
For high schools, the ERP Texas Honor Roll recognition includes measures<br />
of college readiness. This year, the program recognized 943 higherperforming<br />
schools across the state.<br />
DONATUTORS<br />
Donatutors is a nonprofit tutoring organization that donates 100% of<br />
our proceeds to charity. All of our tutors are straight-A students at Seven<br />
Lakes High school and we offer a multitude of courses like creative<br />
writing, computer science, biology, public speaking, ICTW writing and<br />
many different math courses too. We charge $20 per class, but the first<br />
one is free! For more information, check out donatutors.com or email<br />
us at donatutors@gmail.com. What’s even cooler is that this summer<br />
Donatutors was able to raise $1,283 which we used 70% to give to a<br />
Houston based charity called NAMI and 30% to buy a bunch of masks<br />
and canned food for donation. Please check us out!<br />
