The Weekly Stampede

MP2 Week 5

Greetings Buffalo Community!

Happy Week 5! We have another short week ahead of us. Please read below for more updates.

Attendance Matters

Our Average Daily Attendance Rate has declined significantly. Our current goal is to reach 97% on a daily basis. As an incentive this week, we will be holding daily drawings. All students who are present this week will be eligible for the drawings.

Kindness Week

In honor of World Kindness Day on Friday, November 13, we will be celebrating with a dress up activity week. Please review the flyer below.

Author Visit

Author Justin Colon will be visiting our campus on Monday, November 9. Students in PK through 5th Grades will have the opportunity to meet the author and attend a special presentation.

Veterans Day Holiday

In observance of the Veterans Day Holiday, there will be no classes on Wednesday, November 11. We thank all of our armed forces members for their service to our country.

Wheel Day

We will be celebrating our Annual Wheel Day on Thursday, November 12, during all P.E. classes. Parents and family members are invited to join us for the event. As a reminder, motorized vehicles will not be allowed for safety purposes.

Due to the West Side Parking Lot being utilized for the event, we will be making an adjustment to our Kinder 2:45pm pickup. Students will be released from the East Side Parking Lot.

Sibling Santa Pictures

Our partners at Hot Shots will be stopping by the campus on Thursday, November 12, from 4:00pm-6:00pm, to provide our families with an opportunity for siblings to take their Santa Photos together. Pictures will be taken in the school gym.

Individual Santa Pictures

For students wishing to take their individual Santa Pictures, Hot Shots will be back on Friday, November 13. All photos must be prepaid. Please notify your child's teacher if your Buffalo will be taking their picture to ensure we don't miss anyone for the event.

District Science Fair

Best of luck to all of our Campus Science Fair Winners as they move on to our District Science Fair Competition this Saturday, November 14, at Socorro High School. Thank you to our Science Fair Coordinator Mrs. Grew for helping to prepare our students for the event.

A Message from Officer Murillo

Unrestrained Children

In Texas, driving with an unrestrained or improperly restrained child is a misdemeanor offense carrying a fine of $25 to $250 plus court costs (under Texas Transportation Code § 545.412).

Texas Child Restraint Laws

Children under 8 years old (unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches) must be secured in a manufacturer-instructed child passenger safety seat system or booster seat anywhere in the vehicle.

Children aged 8 through 16 (or under 8 if they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches) must be buckled with an adult safety belt in any equipped seating position. Fines for unbuckled children in this age range run from $100 to $200 (passenger vehicles) or $1 to $200 (passenger vans).

Keep our Buffaloes safe by making sure they are buckled in at all times.

Safety Corner

Safety is one of our top priorities at the campus. Please help us keep the entire school community by following our recommended safety tips.

Tierra Delta is prioritized for our teachers to ensure that they can make it to the campus on time to greet our students.
Cars exiting the West Parking Lot do not have the right of way. Drivers must yield to oncoming traffic on Tierra Mirage before turning.
Left turns into the West Parking Lot from Tierra Mirage are prohibited.
Whistles from the Crossing Guards mean that cars are coming to a stop. Pedestrians should always wait for directions from the Cross Guards for enhanced safety.
Please do not block crosswalks.
Students should never be dropped off along Tierra Mirage due to increased and very mobile traffic.
When dropping off within any parking lot, please pull as far forward as possible to maximize cars within the drop off zones.
If utilizing an electric scooter or bike, please walk it through crosswalks.
Always use a turn signal to help Cross Guards identify which direction you intend to go.
Always use a crosswalk to cross streets. Jaywalking is not only dangerous, but citations can be issued for failing to cross at the appropriate location.
Please come to a complete stop at all stop signs.
Our school neighbors have asked that we refrain from blocking their driveways. As a reminder, it is against Texas Law.
