Become the Buffalo 2023-2024
Dear families,
Our teachers have been doing some training this summer on increasing our rigor, writing, using open-ended and modeling questions for reading and math, all while having a positive growth mindset. We are ready to put our techniques into practice and help our students become the buffalo and reach the goals they set for themselves.
We are doing an attendance incentive, so please make sure you read that below and join in on making attendance at school a priority. The t-shirt picture can be clicked on. All proceeds from the t-shirt sales go towards student activity funds for prizes and activities here on campus. We are ready to see you August 8th or 9th for registration and then meet the teacher on the 14th. Enjoy your last few weeks of summer vacation and soak in all the sun and family you can!
Registration
Registration for all new and returning students must occur during one of the following times:
August 8th from 1:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
August 9th from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
What do I bring??
Returning students - a current (last 30 days) utility (water, gas, electricity) or current lease agreement. If an affidavit is needed, both parties (parent/guardian and the host family) must come in person to collect form, bring proof, ID, and have the form notarized by Stanton ISD staff during those two days.
New students - same as above, but also social security card, shot record, birth certificate, parent/guardian ID, withdrawal papers or final report card.
Arrival/Dismissal Times
Doors will open each morning at 7:35. 5th Graders may be dropped off on the north end by their classroom. All other students must be dropped off in the back. Doors will close at 7:55 and then students must come in through the front. If your child is late, after 8:00 a.m., please come in and sign them in. Remember, three tardies/leaving early count as an unexcused absence. Parents are not allowed to walk their children to class.
Dismissal times have changed!! Monday - Thursday we will dismiss at 3:50 and Friday will be 3:00. All bus riders must have a bus tag to ride the bus, if they do not, you will be required to bring and pick them up at the school. Bus tags may be replaced for a fee of $10.00. Bus routes may not be changed for your child to ride home with another student. Pk-2 students will dismiss by the playground and 3-5 will be back by the gym. It usually takes us a week or so to get the kinks worked out, so be patient and we will work as efficiently as possible.
What if I need to change the way my child gets home??? You must call the front office before 2:00 on Monday - Thursday and 1:00 on Friday in order to change the method your child will get home. We will not make changes after that as it gets confusing with all the moving parts of our campus with 500+ students and over 70 staff. You may not come to the office and collect your student after 3:00 Monday - Thursday or 2:00 on Friday. You will need to wait until the end of the school day. Once a child is on their bus, you cannot collect them from the bus prior to their stop. This is a safety hazard and could result in releasing a child to the wrong individual, so we kindly ask you to let us do our jobs to keep all children safe.

Our School
Attendance
Our official attendance time is 9:35 for Stanton Elementary. Please send a note with your child the day they return to school following an absence.
If your child is fever free without medication and has not thrown up in the past 24 hours, or a doctor has ordered them to stay home, we need and want them here at school. Attendance is extremely important for your student. A student who missed 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school during the year. Poor attendance can influence whether children can read proficiently by the end of third grade or be held back. Missing two days per month is considered chronic absenteeism. Truancy charges can be filed against parent/guardian for chronic absenteeism.
