Summer School Registration
If you are interested in having your 5th, 6th, or 7th grader attend summer school at Buffett, the deadline to sign up is fast approaching! In order to guarantee OPS transportation for those who qualify, you must complete the following registration form by Wednesday, April 18th.
Summer school will be held from 7:30-11:30, June 4th - 29th. If you have any questions please contact the Summer School Principal, Mr. Grant Torpin.World Peace Day Service Learning Projects
Buffett 7th graders will present their World Peace Day Service Learning Projects on Saturday, April 21, at Buffett Middle School. Student booths will be open for viewing from 9:00 -11:00am. There will be activities, drawings and refreshments at many booths. Tickets are .50 cents and all money raised will go to student chosen organizations.
All Buffett families are invited to attend.
State Standardized Testing and Student Laptops
Currently, we are averaging 3-5 students per class who arrive to school on a daily basis with a completely dead laptop in their first block class. With good charging practices at home, a student shouldn't need to rely on classroom teachers to facilitate charging their devices until later in the day. We really appreciate any efforts that can be made at home to ensure your child has a fully charged laptop on a daily basis.
Click the link below for testing tips you can discuss with your child.
PTO Parent Survey
PTO publishes a Buffett Directory to families for a nominal cost every year. The directory includes students’ names, parents’ names, addresses, phone numbers and staff information. Specifically, we would like to know whether the directory is used, whether parents feel it is needed, or whether it might be useful in another format.
Phase Two - OPS Bond Information
Consider attending the Public Forum on Thursday, April 12, in the Buffett library at 7:00 PM.

Burke Boys Basketball Golf Scramble
The Burke Boys Basketball Golf Scramble will be held on Saturday, May 5th, at Tara Hills Golf Course in Papillion.
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. If you still haven't found something that appeals to you but want to support the event, we are also looking for donated raffle items.
