Greetings Buffalo Community!

Happy Week 7! This week will be a short, but incredibly busy, week! Please read below for more updates!

Fall Open House

We invite our entire community to join us this Wednesday, September 9, for our Fall Open House. Our teachers are ready to share all of the great things our Buffaloes have been doing this school year. The event will be held from 4:00pm-6:00pm.

Uniforms and Spirt Shirts

Our vendors have restocked their inventory and will be back on Wednesday during our Fall Open House event. Prices range from $18 to $30, cash only.

Pebble Hills Feeder Night

Please join us this Thursday for our Annual Pebble Hills Feeder Pattern night at the SAC at 7:30pm. Our Buffalo Cheer Squad will be performing live as we represent our Buffaloes at the event. Students are invited to wear their Buffalo or Pebble Hills High School gear with jeans for the day.

Grandparents' Day Celebration

We invite our Grandparents to join us this Friday, September 11 for a fun-filled day with their grandchildren. The celebration will take place during all P.E. classes. Please review the flyer below for more details. For safety purposes, we do have to limit the event to 2 grandparents per child.

Field Trip Chaperones and Volunteer Hours

School Field Trips are being scheduled and finalized for the Fall Semester. Please note that any parent wishing to serve as a chaperone must complete 50 volunteer hours to ensure that adequate training in school protocols has been provided. We offer a variety of ways to complete the hours, including sending projects home for working families. Please contact Mrs. McConnell, Ms. Marquez or your child's teacher for more information.

Meal Applications Expired

Meal applications from the previous school year have officially expired. If you have not submitted a meal application for the 2026-2027 school year, we ask that you submit this week. Meal applications are required for all students regardless of qualifying status. Data from the meal applications impact our accountability with TEA. Should you need assistance, please contact the campus directly or stop by at anytime so we can support. Please utilize the following link to complete the meal application. https://www.myschoolapps.com/Home/PickDistrict

Popcorn Fundraiser

Our Annual Popcorn Fundraiser is up and running. Students are encouraged to sell 10 bags of popcorn each. The Top 3 Sellers will receive a prize! All monies raised from this fundraiser will go to support our teacher and student accounts. The fundraiser will run through the entire month of September, and orders will be delivered upon our return from the October Intersession Break.

Fall Festival

Our 2026 Fall Festival is set for Friday, September 25, from 4:30pm-7:00pm. Admission is free to the entire community. Food and games will be available. Tickets start at $1 and will be sold beginning on Monday, September 14. We will be running an early bird special with 6 tickets costing $5. Purchase early to save.

We are currently accepting vendors for our event. Tables are on sale for $50. We are expecting a very large crowd, so don't miss out on this great business opportunity. Contact Mrs. Meza at (915) 938-2400 for more details.

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

1. Tierra Delta is prioritized for our teachers to ensure that they can make it to the campus on time to greet our students.
   
2. Cars exiting the West Parking Lot do not have the right of way. Drivers must yield to oncoming traffic on Tierra Mirage before turning.
   
3. Left turns into the West Parking Lot from Tierra Mirage are prohibited.
4. 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.
   
5. Please do not block crosswalks.
6. Students should never be dropped off along Tierra Mirage due to increased and very mobile traffic.
7. When dropping off within any parking lot, please pull as far forward as possible to maximize cars within the drop off zones.
8. If utilizing an electric scooter or bike, please walk it through crosswalks.
9. Always use a turn signal to help Cross Guards identify which direction you intend to go.
10. 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.
11. Please come to a complete stop at all stop signs.

Help us reach 100% compliance by ensuring that your child's 2026-2027 Meal Application is updated and complete. Information obtained from the meal applications is directly tied to TEA's Accountability System. If you need assistance, please contact the campus at (915) 938-2400.

Attention Parents/Guardians! We need YOU on our team. A total of 50 hours are required for field trips. If you are interested in supporting our campus, please contact Ms. Marquez at (915) 938-2400 or via email at jmarqu10@sisd.net. We will provide training! ALL are welcomed.

Please note that all volunteers must attend a quick volunteer orientation and pass a background check.
