Dear Maryvale Community, There was an item in the news recently about a stranger approaching an individual in Cheektowaga, and it was reported that the stranger had negative intentions. Although not the same situation as that recent news report, an unknown person approached a student in our High School parking lot this week and asked for her phone number. We have no reason to believe that situation represents an ongoing threat and we continue to be vigilant about monitoring our buildings and grounds for unauthorized persons, including patrols from Officer Cookfair. But we want to remind all of the Maryvale Community that any situation involving an unknown person on or near our grounds talking to or attempting to talk to individuals should be reported to an administrator and/or Officer Cookfair immediately. Remember: If you see something, say something to a trusted adult- especially if it is an emergency. Additionally, our Maryvale CARE Line is another resource for anyone in our community to report potentially dangerous or harmful activity. You can reach the CARE line at 716-631-7449 during school hours or by email anytime at careline@maryvaleufsd.org Maryvale CARE Line

Dear Maryvale Community, New York State Assembly Bill A01279 would help local taxpayers bear the burden of the CVA. Kudos to Assembly Member Monica Wallace and Bill Conrad, who are co-sponsors of this Bill. We urge the New York State government to enact this to protect both local taxpayers and the Maryvale programs that we have worked so hard to build. Please contact our local NY State representatives to tell them how you feel about this Bill and to support our District as we fight to preserve our programs! Senator Tim Kennedy: Phone: 716-826-2683 Fax: 716-826-2793 kennedy@nysenate.gov Assembly Member Monica Wallace (co-sponsor of the bill): Cheektowaga, NY 14225 716-686-0080 Fax: 716-686-3752 wallacem@nyassembly.gov

Congratulations Justus and Dezmin!!!

We would like to give a very appreciative "Thank you" to our Director of Buildings and Grounds, Charlie Milne and our entire Buildings and Grounds staff for their tireless work in the aftermath of the Blizzard. If you saw the state of the main and Primary campuses, you would understand what these folks did to clear the snow and to first make our properties passable and then ultimately useable. We appreciate you and your dedication to the kids and our district!

Maryvale has partnered with Compeer of Buffalo for several years to focus on the mental health of our students.

Dear Maryvale Community, We have enjoyed Flyer athletics in Maryvale for a long time, as both a fabric of our community and a source of pride. We have a strong tradition of cheering on our team and displaying sportsmanship as athletes, coaches, and spectators. We will not allow anything to change that or to disrupt the enjoyment our athletes bring to our school community. Going forward the following procedures will be in place for all ticketed Maryvale athletic competitions: -All Maryvale High School students must present their current and valid school ID to gain entry to the event. No ID means no entry. -All other Maryvale students are welcome to attend ticketed events but must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. If a Middle or Elementary student is found without an adult, they will be required to leave the facility. As a reminder: -No backpacks, coolers, bikes, skateboards, Frisbees or balls are permitted inside the stadium or gymnasium. -No animals allowed, except service animals. -No re-entry to the event. Maryvale reserves the right to dismiss any person(s) who disrupt any event. Sincerely, Joseph D’Angelo, Superintendent Tim Klimtzak, Athletic Director Michael Scapillato, School Resource Officer

Dear Maryvale Community, The Erie County Water Authority has subcontracted work to have the main water lines replaced on Maryvale Drive. This work is set to start on July 25th and go for about 4-5 weeks. During this time Maryvale Drive between Union Road and Dick Road will be one lane of traffic on the south side of the street. The traffic will be directed using alternate signals along the road. We are asking all of Maryvale school traffic to enter and exit using the Union Road entrance. Please see the attached map for the way traffic will flow to help keep traffic moving and limit the back ups that can occur.

Dear Maryvale Community, We have become aware of two instances of an individual claiming to represent our District and/or our Athletic boosters to try to extract money from legitimate businesses and groups here in our Town to donate to the "Maryvale basketball program". The District, the Athletic department, and the Boosters are not involved in this and we are in the process of filing a police report about this fraudulent activity. I would humbly ask that if you receive an unsolicited call like this, please try to get as much information as you can about the caller and share it with us. We will continue to work with the CPD to make sure that no one falls victim to this scheme and that whoever is perpetrating it is stopped and held accountable. Sincerely, Joseph D'Angelo, Superintendent

Another beautiful day on campus!

Maryvale Middle School eighth graders had the opportunity to create what will be a permanent art installation as their middle school legacy. Mrs. Kasprowicz was granted a scholarship for all students to receive all materials free of charge from The Butterfly Project. The Butterfly Project is a call to action through education, the arts, and memorial making. They teach social justice through lessons of the Holocaust, educating participants about the dangers of hatred and bigotry to cultivate empathy and social responsibility. Students each received an informational card about a real child that did not survive the Holocaust. Each student then chose a ceramic butterfly and painted it as a tribute. The butterflies will be glazed and fired over the summer, then displayed in the middle school as a permanent art exhibit.
