Fundraiser Success!
Thank you to all Buffett Families and Friends for participating in our PTO Fundraiser. We continue to receive donations and are grateful for the support. Prizes have been ordered and we will get them before Winter Break.

20-21 Yearbook Orders
The yearbook cost is $35.00 before Holiday Break and then $40 after. We would love to see more 8th grade Ads purchased. Please purchase both of these online at https://yearbookforever.com/schools/alice_buffett_magnet_middle_school_buy_yearbook_424/
We will be previewing parts of the yearbook in the next few weeks. Follow us on Twitter at @YearbookBuffett for previews and requests for photos.
Photos can be uploaded to our server with the Yearbook Snap app. Find our school and use the password yearbook2021 so we can have more photos of our remote Bobcats. 🙂

Snow Days are Changing in OPS
The frost outside last Wednesday morning made it clear: winter weather is fast approaching. We know this year has presented challenges unlike any other, so it is especially important to maintain student engagement even if winter weather gets in the way of learning at school. Thanks to our 1 to 1 Technology Initiative, we now have the opportunity to support students with teaching and learning at home.
"Live," or synchronous teaching and learning will take place in the morning, with teacher availability for questions or additional support in the early afternoon with Office Hours from 1-2pm. Teachers will take attendance.
Here's the adjusted bell schedule for snow days:
1/2 Block: 8:40-9:10
3/4 Block: 9:15-9:45
5/6 Block: 9:50-10:20
7/8 Block: 10:25-10:55
Office Hours: 1-2pm
Has Your Student Lost Their Buffett Assigned Charger?
Per the Technology User Agreements signed by parents and students, accessories (chargers and bags) are not covered by the Apple Warranty or the Optional Protection Plan.
LOST Charger and Cable: The replacement cost of a lost charger (brick and cable) is $38.
LOST Charger (brick): $19
LOST Cable: $19
Unfortunately, we ask that you do not purchase your own charger to replace the lost one. Only Apple brand chargers are allowed. Off-brand chargers or chargers that are not the right voltage tend to wear on the iPad battery or cause charging issues with the iPad.
To ensure this does not happen we ask that you report the charger lost and allow us to provide a new charger rather than trying to purchase one on your own. A fine can be assessed for you to pay.
