In an effort to take proactive safety measures to keep students and staff safe, the Buffalo Public Schools will cancel Extended Learning Time (ELT) this evening, Tuesday, January 9, 2024. This cancellation is due to news reports of anticipated extremely high wind gusts in the early evening hours.
Please be advised that athletic activities, Adult Education, and Parent Center activities will NOT be canceled and will be conducted as scheduled. Thank you.
