This is a big fundraiser for Burke's basketball program. Many former Buffett students play for Burke's basketball team. Any support you can provide will be very helpful. If you can't find a foursome to play with, there are hole sponsorship opportunities available as well.

Message From Your Friendly Neighborhood Principal
In light of school safety, we want to continue to communicate and uphold the highest safety and security standards here at Buffett Middle School. Please note that during building hours, students are supervised at all times. As students enter and exit the building, there is at least one adult (sometimes multiple) monitoring each door for security. Classroom doors are closed and locked at all times. In an extra effort to affirm our safety and security measures, we would like to boldly state that our building doors will be locked before school and will not open until 7:00 A.M.
Students are not to be in the building or on property before this time. Doors will be unlocked from 7:00-7:45 A.M. and then once again locked until the end of our school day, which is at 3:05 PM. Additionally, at 3:15 P.M., our doors will once again be locked. The only exception will be for school-related athletics and activities. Once again, the purpose for this firm dedication to building hours is so that we may continue to uphold the highest security standards for the safety of our students.
There is nothing more important than keeping our Bobcats safe.

Connecting With Your Preteen
Staying connected as kids approach the teen years and become more independent may become a challenge for parents, but it's as important as ever — if not more so now.
While activities at school, new interests, and a growing social life become more important to growing kids, parents are still the anchors, providing love, guidance, and support.
That connection provides a sense of security and helps build the resilience kids needs to roll with life's ups and downs.
School Safety with SRO Mahoney
As always, drive slowly and be aware of pedestrians that are in the area. If you're looking for an option to help ease congestion and get the students to school quicker, drop off your student just north of 142nd and Larimore Ave. SRO Mahoney will safely cross them at that intersection. Thanks and remember to drive SLOWLY!
