PE Staff: Mr. Metzen & Ms. Brewer

Both staff can be reached by either Class Dojo, calling the school, or via email.

The mission of the Buffalo Public Schools Athletic Department is to provide students of

all ability levels the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics, prioritizing

academics first to reinforce character, lasting principles, faith, and fundamentals while

continuously developing highly competitive athletic programs.

“Play, Innovate, Compete, Excel”

The philosophy of the Buffalo Public Schools Athletic program is opportunity, access, fun, and equity for all student-athletes enrolled in 4th grade and up. Elementary/Middle school athletics are typically the first introduction to organized sports and are curated to provide a positive opportunity and fun experience for all. Elementary/Middle School athletics focus on an athlete’s skill and personal development both on and off the playing field. The goal is to increase participation and maintain academic/athletic balance while providing reasonable opportunity to test learned skills in a competitive situation. The Elementary/Middle School level is used to emphasize learning and teach all aspects of the designated sport including teamwork, competition, sportsmanship, game rules, athletic skill, communication, respect, and responsibility.

Intramurals & Modified

Students who are interested in participating in intramurals (5th/6th grade) or Modified (7th/8th grade) must sign up via Final Forms on the district athletics site.

Student-Athlete Expectations

Our student-athletes are held to a standard of high expectations both during the athletic time and during school hours. Students and their guardian will need to sign a contract that states they understand what the expectations are (i.e. positive behavior, passing grades, participation, and attendance).

Students should only sign up for a sport if they can FULLY commit to the team for the entire season of the sport. Students who cannot commit should not take a spot from another student.
