Buffalo Public Schools will reopen tomorrow, Monday, January 22, 2024. The district also advises students to dress warmly and cautions them against walking in the street. As there may be slight school bus delays, families can receive updated arrival times using the FIRSTview app available at: https://www.buffaloschools.org/page/firstview
Due to the record amounts of snow caused by the snowstorm, the Buffalo Public Schools will be closed on Friday, January 19. Multiple neighborhoods, especially south of Broadway, still have streets that are unsafe for school buses to travel on, unpassable sidewalks, and high snowbanks that make it dangerous for students to walk to and from school. All students and staff are to stay home.
All Saturday and weekend events are also canceled. Those in need of assistance should call 211 for food needs and emergency shelter information or call 988 for mental health resources.
Due to the continuing, severe snowstorm, the Buffalo Public Schools will remain closed on Thursday, January 18, 2024. All students and staff are to stay home. Please follow all guidance from the city and county and stay safe and warm.
The Prekindergarten Night at the Museum scheduled for Thursday, January 18, 2024, is being rescheduled. The PreK department will communicate a new date once the event is rescheduled with all PreK parents and schools.
