FALL MAP Testing
District-wide fall NWEA MAP testing will begin on Aug. 26. This may sound really early! MAP testing is a measure of a student's growth from the beginning of the year to the end.
Students will be testing according to this schedule:
- Sept. 9-13-All Science Classes
- Sept. 16-20-All Math Classes
The most helpful things you can do to help your child have a successful testing experience are:
- encourage them to do their best/take their time
- don't make appointments during testing times
- provide a healthy breakfast
- help your child get plenty of sleep (recommended amount of sleep for middle school students is 9-11 hours)

Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures
When dropping your student off in the mornings, you can:
- exit from the passenger side on the street (Larimore Avenue)
- turn into the parking lot.
If you enter the parking,
- unload cars all the way out to the curb/turn
- do not wait until you are at the front door to let your child out of the car
Remember that 5th and 6th grade students enter and exit through the upper main entrance and 7th and 8th graders enter and exit through the lower bus loop doors.
Join Our Safety Patrol
Are you looking to get involved at Buffett? Safety Patrol is looking for students who are eager to be a part of a team. Safety Patrol meets in the morning from 7:00am - 7:25am. Students are on duty to patrol for a week at at time. A schedule is made my Ms. Aggen and sent out a month at a time. If you are interested in joining our team, pick up an application in the office. If you have any other questions, contact Ms. Amye Aggen.
Allergy Alert
Due to a severe airborne allergy in our building, Buffett needs to be a fish and shellfish free zone. Please refrain from sending any kind of fish or shellfish in cold lunches with your student.
Many students have food allergies so we ask that you talk to your children about the importance of not sharing food. It is also Buffett's policy that no food or treats are brought into classrooms. Thank you for your cooperation.
