Principal Vitale
Students in the ESY program at OTC have many opportunities to develop their employability skills through their work-based learning experiences throughout the summer.
Due to an air quality alert today for all Western New York the Buffalo Public Schools is putting restrictions on outside activities for our Extended Learning Opportunity Program for July 17, 2023. We will continue to monitor all information and recommendations and adjust if appropriate.
We still suggest that people who are vulnerable avoid strenuous outdoor activities, keep outdoor activities short, and consider moving physical activities indoors or rescheduling them.
Summer School is going well - Thank you
