ID Badges & Lanyards Are Here!
Thank you parents and students for making sure that our Bobcats wear lanyards everyday. All Bobcats are expected to wear their ID badge and lanyard around their necks and clearly visible for everyone to see. When students take them off at the end of the day, encourage students to keep their ID/lanyard in the side pocket of their computer bag. This will ensure that every Bobcat is ready for the school day.
Remember the Buffett High Five!

Fall MAP Testing
You can help us support your student in the following ways:
- Please be aware of these dates when making appointments that require your child to miss school.
- CHARGE your child's device nightly. They use it to take the test.
- Help your child get plenty of sleep.
Fall MAP scores will be available to you at Fall Student Led Conferences.

Technology Tip
- Make sure your child charges their device fully every single night.
- Have your child shut down their device nightly. A fresh start up at school will do wonders for the laptop running smoothly at school.
Attention all Bobcat Readers!
Our opening meeting will be Thursday, Sept. 13th, 3:15-4:15 PM in Portable 6 (Mrs. Tunning’s portable). If students are bus riders and need a late bus to stay after school, they should sign up in the office before school. Sponsors for Book Blaster are Ms. Packard-Kruse (jana.packard-kruce@ops.org) and Mrs. Tunning (amy.tunning@ops.org). Contact these teachers with any questions. We are excited to have another successful year with our Bobcat readers!
Required Physicals for 7th & 8th Graders
Every 7th grade student is required to have a complete physical dated after March 1, 2018. The state of Nebraska also requires every student to have the Tdap (tetanus and whooping cough) vaccine. This physical can also be used as an athletic physical if your student wants to participate in athletics. This needs to be on file prior to your student attending practice/tryouts.
Every 8th grade student wanting to participate in athletics for the 2018-2019 school year needs to have current physical dated after May 1, 2018. This needs to be on file prior to your student attending practice or tryouts.
