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

Dear Maryvale Community, Throughout the day today, both the High School Principal and I have been contacted by concerned parents telling us that they heard about a threat made to the school and that they also heard the student who made the threat was still in school. As a parent myself, I understand the concerns and appreciate the calls. However, to the extent that I am able to, I must set the record straight and not allow rumors to fester and untruths to spread, because the rumors do not reflect the facts.  Neither the Maryvale Administration nor the Cheektowaga Police Department (CPD) would allow a student who made a credible threat to remain in school.   By law, we cannot share anything related to a student’s discipline or specific situation, so I cannot disclose anything about what actually occurred. But the High School administration and the CPD fully investigated the situation referenced in this rumor and handled it appropriately.  Again: The rumors do not reflect the facts in this situation. All situations of this nature are fully investigated jointly with the CPD to ensure that our school community is as safe as possible.  Often before we even get to the point of needing to investigate, we provide multiple levels of social and emotional support to students who exhibit the need for mental health services, especially if they are depressed or are showing any warning signs for the propensity to commit violent acts. Since I have all the facts of the incident that the rumors reference, including all of the steps taken by the HS administration and the CPD to investigate, I am confident that they made the right decision in this matter and that there is no evidence to suggest that there is a danger to our school community. We will continue to fully investigate any and all situations that have the potential to endanger our school community and then act on them appropriately so that our students, staff and community are as safe as possible. Sincerely, Joseph D’Angelo, Superintendent

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, At approximately 12:40pm, we received notification from the Cheektowaga Police that a suspicious individual was out and about somewhere near the main campus. We immediately brought all students and staff indoors and put all buildings into lockout while the CPD handled the issue. When the CPD got the individual in custody, we released the lockout and resumed normal operations. The lockout lasted until approximately 10 minutes until 12:50pm. As a reminder: In our Emergency Response protocols, a lockout means that no one is permitted to enter or exit any building, but all other operations, such as classes, run normally.

This Buffalo was painted in 2002 and donated to our school by the PTO. The garden around it was made possible with a fantastic Eagle Scout project. The Buffalo has graced the middle of our campus, but is now showing signs of age. Paint is bubbling and peeling off. We would like to revitalize it and potentially reimagine it but before we do anything, we’d like to talk with any of the students or PTO parents who were involved with the original project in 2002. If you, or anyone you know were involved in painting and donating this Buffalo in 2002, please give Mr. Swenson a call at the High School at 716-631-7409.

Dear Maryvale Community, I just received the following message from the contractor working on the Maryvale Drive project. I want to be sure you have these additional details in advance of school starting next Tuesday. That message follows. Sincerely, Joseph D’Angelo, Superintendent -------  “We understand the community’s concerns around accessibility and safety on Maryvale Drive as the 2022-2023 school year opens on Tuesday, September 6th. Due to delays beyond the contractor’s control, work on Maryvale Drive was started later than anticipated. This construction work to replace the water infrastructure on Maryvale Drive was necessary so that the Erie County Water Authority can continue to provide safe, reliable water to both the residents and to the Maryvale School District. It is the priority of the contractor to complete the installation of the new waterline as expeditiously and safely as possible. While construction is variable due to unforeseen circumstances, we expect that all replacement and pavement operations will be completed by Friday, September 23rd 2022. Please inform the families of students and your staff of the following measures and site access controls that are being implemented starting Tuesday, September 6th 2022. *Maryvale Drive, and the Maryvale School District entrance off Maryvale Drive, will be open to traffic during continued construction operations. Road Closed signage will not be posted. *Lane restrictions will be in place as required for construction operations. These restrictions will reduce Maryvale Drive to a one-lane road. To maintain safe and effective traffic flow, temporary signals will be installed on both sides of current, active construction limits. These signals are to govern traffic flow through the lane restriction zone and will be on timers. Please account for any minor delays in travel these additional signals may incur, and that the locations of these signals could periodically be adjusted. *When construction operations affect the accessibility to sidewalks, those sidewalks will be indicated as closed with sidewalk detour signage at the nearest crosswalk. For the safety of students, we ask that any walking student be made aware of this signage, and to follow it as indicated. *All active construction zones will be secured by traffic cones and barrels, and any further measures as necessary to protect the work zone. *Select construction operations may take place during evening and night hours to further reduce impact. *Construction materials & equipment will be organized and stored securely and safely.
