Weekly Announcements 10/26-10/30

Hello, Parents and students and community.

This is John Clements, principal Buffalo High School that you

find in school and Leon County.

You know, it's this week is busy week.

So any time we have a busy week, I try

toe, get some information out to the community.

This week is senior Walk week.

And so I wanted to let you know a few

things going on, uh, this week.

So let's get started.

Just wanna let you know that this week the 26th

to the 30th is the last day of the second

six weeks.

And so we are taking, ah, six weeks exams this

week, kind of wrapping up to six weeks for students.

Give us opportunity to be able to look and see

how they're doing.

Um, see if they need some extra help.

But also, this ends the cycle for asynchronous learning.

If you're failing your classes at home and you're required

to be back at school on November the third, which

is a Tuesday, and we'll talk about that minute.

But if you're failing your classes, you've gotten a call

from the school and you'll be required.

Return to school on November the third that will give

us a chance to get you caught back up and

hopefully get you passing those classes.

Also, your report cards will go home on that Tuesday

as well.

The third.

So be prepared for that.

And parents if you don't see a report card Parents,

you know, you can always get on parent portal and

and look there, you know they can get away with

it like our old days where we buried under the

tree out in the front yards, our parents So we

never got one.

You know, they have a report card coming out on

Tuesday, so be prepared for that.

There is a holiday on Monday, uh, November the second

that day is a data collection day for us.

It gives an opportunity for us to look at six

weeks exams.

So if there's areas that we need, Thio, enhance or

work with your child and so just be prepared for

that. So Monday, November the second will be a student

holiday, though teachers will be working.

And, of course, on Friday we have a pep rally

because we have a home game and we have three

spirits sticks up for grabs because We know that the

class with the most spirit sticks gets to go on

a little trip and right now, the seniors winning.

But that doesn't mean it's gonna end that way.

And so we hope that everybody has a chance to

to win that price.

Now we've got three spirits sticks up for grabs.

This time it is the sign, and we'll have a

live feed and you'll be able to see the signs.

You'll be able to see a cheer in the halls,

a ZX best we could do with the mask on

and things like that under 15 minutes and all that

stuff that they tell us we have to do.

And then we have the scariest surgical mask contest.

Those the mass.

We all use surgical masks, if you can.

Whoever has the best decorated surgical mans the scariest surgical

man's, uh, one spirit stick for their great now.

So we're looking forward.

And of course, it is a home game, and it

is a Lexington Eagles, and the theme this week is

Cage the Eagles.

So we're looking forward to caging the Eagles this week.

Now with Lexington.

Now it is senior walk this Friday on.

We do highlight all the seniors in the senior class

on that night, and so we are preparing for that.

But here's some details.

If you're participating in the walk and you've talked to

Miss Houston that you are participating because she is the

senior sponsor, then you will be given some tickets to

get in the game.

Get in the stadium, uh, to, in order to participate

in the ceremonies now, you will not be able to

go up into the home stands without purchasing a ticket.

But if you're just there to participate in the ceremonies

and you're not staying for the game, UH, than you'll

have these tickets here and the yellow ticket, as you

can see there is for the students and then the

purple tickets, or for the family that wants to walk

with the students during now, what you'll do is you'll

have to wear a surgical mask to get in the

stadium that's required by the state of Texas.

And then you'll go in and I'll escort you to

the track.

When you get in the track, that will start getting

in line and get you ready for your wall.

Now, if you want to go to the game after

the senior walk, you'll have to have both.

You'll get some tickets to get into the track to

be able to do the ceremony, and then you'll have

to purchase a game ticket.

Now. The game tickets are on sale on Mondays and

Tuesdays for students, so, like you could give your students

and money for the game $4 apiece.

And then they come in here and they purchased tickets.

We do not sell to the general public at the

high school.

Now for the general public, you can purchase tickets on

Wednesdays and Thursdays at the Buffalo Ice de Central Offices.

You know what those are?

So it's important that you understand you have to get

into the track, do the senior walk and have a

game ticket that you purchased in order to get up

in the stands after the wall.

For those that do not want to watch the game,

you just be air being escorted right out back into

the parking lot, uh, to move on, so be prepared

for that again.

You must have a ticket artist in order to sit

in the stands for any reason.

So if you're just there, I just want to go

and see my kid.

Walk are my grandparent's.

I just wanted to see him walk.

You still have to purchase a ticket to sit in

the stands.

Okay. If you're just there to be in the ceremony,

you walk with your child, have them announced on.

You don't want to stay.

They will escort you on out of the stadium after

you walked.

Now you should arrive at the stadium on mask on.

You'll have your temperature check, and then you'll go in

and you'll be able to sit in the are not

set, but walk into the track area there myself.

Mr. Olivera and Miss Read will assist you in getting

in the line.

Now what we're gonna do is football players.

Seniors will go first, the cheerleaders bells band.

And the reason for that is they need to get

ready for the game.

So we're gonna go ahead and get them walked on

through. Then students that are not do not participate in

those areas will be in the back and so they

will be escorted through after those are announced.

So you do need to be there at 5 45

on the track, ready to line up for the senior

walk now.

We also have favorites that night.

And so I know that the football players choose a

favorite cheerleaders Bales ban, and they will be announced at

halftime right after Lexington finishes their performance.

So we'll just like we did homecoming.

For that, they will come out and be introduced.

The favorites will be introduced at halftime after Lexington performs

for, uh, the halftime show.

All right, and so that's it.

Yeah, I just want to remind you one thing.

E. I know it's tough and this covert thing is

really a mess and believe, May we struggle with it

every day, Every day there's something new, and so we

all have to try to keep up with it.

We have to make good decisions for our students.

Good decisions for the community is difficult because we're dealing

with something that we just don't understand very well.

We don't understand why things happen for the way they

have. We sent students home because they've been exposed, and

then they have no symptoms at all.

It's just kind of a strange thing that happens, but

we're required to do it by the state of Texas.

And so we try to make good decisions for everybody

and try to keep us.

Many here is we can, because we know students aren't

learning a ZX much as they could learn if they

were in the classroom with a teacher in front of

them. So please be patient with us.

We're doing everything we can for that, but also to

remind you one small detail, one tiny detail, I say

every day to the students.

Sort of this announced every day to the students.

And you know what?

It iss You're in the finest school.

Leon County.

That's right.

Say it with me.

Buffalo. Hi, everybody.

Have a fabulous day.
