Thanks for your input!ACP Paraprofessional Opening at Buffett
OPS is actively looking for a paraprofessional to work with Buffett's ACP (Alternative Curriculum Program) students; specifically small group and independent support.
The ACP Paraprofessional will work under the supervision of a positive, caring, organized teacher who will provide you guidance while you are in the room, and will give you the tips and ideas needed when working with the students.
Consistency and routine are best for students, so if you are a caring, loving person who is looking for a way to have a great impact on students, this may be your opportunity.

Homework Hideout and After School Library
Buffett offers two after school opportunities for students to have a space to work on homework, study for tests, or work with teachers for some extra help.
Homework Hideout is offered by each team and days of the week vary by team. Please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher to see when Homework Hideout is offered on their team.
The library will be open starting on Sept. 24 after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Students must arrive by 3:10. Students getting rides or walking home, can leave when they need to, but will not be able to return once they leave for the day. Students needing to take the late bus need to sign up in the office. The late bus departs Buffett at 5:00.
