The City of Waltham has a very good website with a lot of information at

http://waltham.ma.us/index.html

Waltham schools also maintain a good site which posts school closings and other timely information. Find Waltham schools at http://www.city.waltham.ma.us/SCHOOL/WebPAge/tofc.htm

For children's recreational activities you will find a lot of useful links and phone numbers on the recreation department site at

    When looking at a neighborhood or a specific property you can find interesting information looking at the town assessor's map.  Just enter the property address and the plot will come up along with the tax information. Also there are many active neighborhood associations.

   The town is served by one Newspaper,the Daily News Tribune which can be previewed at http://www.dailynewstribune.com/

    I have to put in my own bias here and include a link to the Waltham Youth Soccer.   Waltham has a great soccer program with many girls and boys of all ages enjoying the sport. The High School teams are very good and it's a great lifelong sport with easy access to adult teams in neighboring towns entered in the region's adult soccer league,  the NEOTHSL, New England Over The Hill Soccer League.
