Maryvale School District

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

On August 15th at 6pm the Athletic Department will be hosting a Parent, Athlete and Coaches meeting. This will be held in the high school auditorium.

We have also partnered with UB to provide parents to be trained in Hands On CPR on this night. Everyone who participates will be entered into a drawing for a pair of Buffalo Bills tickets.

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!
