Friday is the end of the first six weeks, and students can gain or lose eligibility in their extracurricular activities depending on their grade at that time. Students need to make sure they are staying on top of their work and utilizing tutoring during 2nd period effectively to ensure they are mastering their course content.

Congratulations to the Lady Buffs Volleyball team picking up a win on Tuesday night vs. Llano. Our student section was great! We hope to see you this Tuesday night when the Lady Buffs take on Ingram.

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15 by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans who trace their heritage to Latin America or Spain. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period.

If a student must take medication during school hours, the student’s parent must provide the medication. All medication, whether prescription or nonprescription (OTC), must be kept in the nurse’s office and be administered by the nurse or another authorized district employee. A student may self-carry his or her own medication because of asthma or a severe allergy as allowed by law. Except as provided by FFAC (LOCAL), the district will not purchase medication to administer to a student.
