Message from the Principal
Hello Buckaroo families,
I am excited to be joining the BHP community as your new Principal! We have had an amazing start to the second semester of school. I am having lots of fun learning all about your children. I have visited each classroom and introduced myself so that students can put a name to my face. I have already recieved many hugs and high fives from so many sweet children. Learning is in full swing with lots of New Year's activities and fun.
Sincerely,
Marlayna Zachary

Standard Response Protocol (SRP)
Our “lockdown” practice drill with law enforcement is scheduled for January 23rd. Prior to the drill with law enforcement, we will practice on January 16th without law enforcement. During this practice emergency drill, students and teachers will go through the steps of our campus lockdown procedure. Like our campus fire evacuation drills and shelter-in-place drills, this drill will allow teachers and students to practice the procedure while our campus emergency response team evaluates the plan for effectiveness and efficiency. You will see emergency vehicles on campus on January 23rd, because they will be assisting us in practicing this drill.
Thank you for your support and generosity!! We appreciate the items purchased off of our Amazon Wishlist!
District News
Dear TEXAN Family,
Last semester, parents and staff were invited to fill out an interest survey to begin participation with a needs assessment. We are looking to increase our participation by 20-30 individuals. Our FESTA leadership is hosting a "Meet the Team & Walk Through the Process" set of zoom virtual meetings on Monday January 27th at 9am and at 6pm. You do not need to attend both. Two times are offered so that you may select the time of day that works best for your schedule. If you have any questions, concerns, curiosities, or you just want to understand how to participate, please join using the link below. As a reminder, adult participants that complete the interest survey, consent, needs assessment survey, and optional online interview will receive an Amazon Gift card as a token of appreciation.

Coming soon will be some educational materials and events offered to WISD through the FESTA team and the grant. Watch your email for updates!
Need a quick reminder? FESTA is:
In response to “Tucker’s Law,” Texas State University in collaboration with Wimberley and Dripping Springs ISD received a $1.9 million grant through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to reduce the onset and progression of substance misuse, opioids broadly, and fentanyl specifically, and its related consequences in Hays County, Texas. This grant funded program will be called FESTA, which stands for: Fentanyl Education, Support Training, and Awareness.
Best,
Your FESTA Team Members, a partnership between Texas State University, DSISD, & WISD made possible by SAMHSA
