UPDATE: Based on the current conditions, the Buffalo Public Schools has reevaluated its status and will be closed on Friday, December 13, 2024. All students and staff are to stay home. The snow fall has continued more intensely than predicted south of William Street resulting in a continued travel advisory in that part of Buffalo and the declaration of a City State of Emergency. Many of our staff in surrounding areas are also facing snow totals that prevent their ability to report. Continue to stay safe and warm. If you or someone you know is in need of support, call 211 for food needs and emergency shelter information or call 988 for mental health resources.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Buffalo Public Schools will be open tomorrow, Friday, December 13, 2024. The district also advises students to dress warmly and cautions them against walking in the street.
The district will continue to closely monitor the weather conditions and will respond appropriately to any developments that might have an impact on any region Buffalo Public Schools serve.
