VISIT US ONLINE! WWW.KATYHAMLET.ORG VISITENOS ONLINE LETTEr frOm ThE PrESIdENT Dear Hamlet Homeowners, The school summer holiday is winding down and we have had a record turn out at the pool this summer! It was the board’s goal to make the pool as accessible to as many Hamlet residents as possible this year. Many thanks to Williamsburg Hamlet board Treasurer, bob Lockler, for working all summer long to get pool cards into the hands of Hamlet residents who missed the pool card registration dates before the season began! It was a great summer of fun and we hope you were able to make it down to the pool to enjoy some time in the sun! When I take the kids down to play at the park, we have been making a habit of picking up some of the litter that accumulates there. If you are interested in volunteering to take over a week, please give me a call or email me and let me know when you would like to volunteer. Twenty minutes is really all it takes to do a quick pick up! My phone number is 281-347-2658 and dpbelunek@consolidated.net is my email address. Mark your calendars! National Night Out is two months away! Tuesday, October 2nd is National Night Out in the State of Texas. This will be a great opportunity to get out and meet your neighbors. We will have more details as the date approaches! Please remember that the WCA Waste Corporation (our trash service in the Hamlet, which is provided through a contract with our MUD) has special parameters for the pick up of tree, shrub and bush trimmings. If you place trimmings on the curb, which left behind. The trimmings must be bundled, must not be longer than four feet in length and must not weigh more than 40 pounds. Any branches you include with your trimmings may not be more than three inches in diameter. Following these guidelines will save you frustration and insure that your hard work in the yard is directly at 281-368-8397. If they have missed your trash in error, they will arrange to come back by to collect it within 24 hours. Please remember not to set your trash out before the evening prior to trash pick up and return your trashcans to your backyard or garage as soon as possible after trash collection.

KATY ISD ANNOUNCES TRANSPORTATION CHANGES FOR 2012 - 2013 The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved a change in the eligibility requirements for students to receive transportation services. Starting in August 2012, the eligibility for bus transportation will change from the current 3/10 of a mile to approximately 1/2 mile for elementary students and approximately one mile for junior high and high school students. Bus transportation will continue to be provided for students for whom a hazardous condition may exist between home and school, as well as special needs bus routes. Approximately 52 bus routes (elementary and secondary) will be eliminated, affecting approximately 6,600 students or nearly 21%
Williamsburg Hamlet
of the 32,000 students that ride school buses daily. The Katy ISD Transportation Department began building bus routes in June and in August become available. The changes are the result of the Transportation Department experiencing particular challenges this year in having route requirements. Due to vacant routes and driver absences, there have been days in which the department has found it necessary to district to better meet route driver needs and will provide for more effective route management, including driver training and driver support in issues involving student management. “The change in transportation services comes after extensive review of our current transportation operations that not only revealed a heavy burden for drivers covering multiple routes, but also a high amount of uncertainty and risk due to vacant routes and driver absences,” said Katy ISD Superintendent Alton Frailey. “In comparison to other school districts, Katy ISD’s transportation eligibility distances remain among the shortest in the Houston area as many districts require students to live outside of a two mile radius.”

CRAZY DAYS OF 5TH GRADE an Iggy the Iguana Book Written by Melissa M. Williams
ble a l i a Av ow! N
Crazy Days of 5th Grade is the 3rd book in the Iggy the Iguana chapter book series for children which focuses on themes of the upper elementary classroom, including making new friends, positive changes in learning styles and respect for others. When Iggy’s new teacher, Mr. Gruff the goat, continues to eat his homework, he realizes his old ways of studying are over. It will take the mind of a creative genius and a lot of make-believe to revitalize Iggy’s concentration in class. What started off as a lonely, boring school year missing his best friend Snap Shell the turtle, turns into a suspenseful ride that includes a strange encounter with a crab and an unexpected trip to the hospital. With the help of his friends and his little sister’s stuffed animals, Iggy discovers a hidden talent proving what he once considered a problem was really a gift in disguise.
Reading level: Ages 7-11 Page count: 220 Themes include: Acceptance, Diversity, Empathy, Friendship, Bullying, Health
