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
Just a reminder that the Family Tech Talk is tonight at 7:00. See the flyers for details.
The final day to register for spring sports will be on Wednesday March 8th. Don't miss out and make sure you are registered for a spring sport.
Following sports offered
Baseball
Softball- Low numbers.

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!
5 week progress reports are now available on the Portal.
Parents & guardians are the number one influence on our students' success. Please take 15-20 minutes this week to review the progress reports with your child(ren).

As we transition and look to hire new clerks for our office, I ask for you patience in any delays in answering phone calls and emails. These are critical positions that are not easily replaced. Thank you!
Our Middle School Office is losing some familiar faces. Mrs. Lonczak retired in October and Mrs. Kostran is working her last day today. We wish them both a happy retirement and thank them for their years of service to Maryvale.
This Youth Mental Health First Aid Workshop is for all Maryvale Parents and Community members!
