Dear Maryvale Community, At approximately 1:25PM, we were notified by the Cheektowaga Police that they were searching for a suspect in the neighborhoods west of Union Road near the main campus. Out of an abundance of caution, we initiated a lockout of the Intermediate, Middle, and High Schools. A lockout means that all school operations run as normal inside the buildings, but no one is allowed in or out. The lockout was lifted at approximately, 1:50PM upon advice received from the Cheektowaga Police, Joseph D’Angelo Superintendent

Good luck to our Cheerleaders as they head to the NYSPHSAA Championships in Binghamton. GO FLYERS!

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. Here is a story Spectrum News did on our school-based mentoring program: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/news/2022/12/19/need-for-mentorship-programs-in-and-out-of-school?cid=id-app15_m-share_s-web_cmp-app_launch_august2020_c-producer_posts_po-organic

Reminder that at all ticketed sporting contest middle school students need to be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. There will be a $1 admission for all Varsity and JV basketball games.

This Youth Mental Health First Aid Workshop is for all Maryvale Parents and Community members!

Dear Maryvale Community, The High School administration received a report during dismissal today that a student was in possession of what appeared to be a weapon. Upon initial investigation, there was an Airsoft found on a bus after a Middle/High School run. Officer Scapillato took possession of the Airsoft and a full investigation has already begun. We take these matters very seriously and we will not tolerate anything that could pose a potential risk to students and staff. I am informing you of this so that you know the facts as we know them right now and also so that rumors do not start to circulate. Please know that we are always vigilant and we will always fully investigate reports brought to us by students, staff and parents. We need you to be vigilant as well. So, as a reminder, if anyone is aware of information that could lead to any type of danger to students, staff or our school community, we need you to tell a trusted adult at school or any school administrator so that we can follow up to ensure the safety of our school community. Thank you, Joseph D’Angelo Superintendent
