Greetings! This school year, students will be issued a laptop and charging cord that they will be responsible for. Students will not turn in these laptops daily. The District offers 1 year insurance for the cost of $26. This insurance covers unlimited claims per 1 school year. All lost chargers must be replaced by the student or parent. The insurance does not cover lost or damaged chargers. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about the importance of taking care of their device. If you have questions please reach out to the school.
Today, Buffalo Public Schools remembers September 11, 2001, and honors the courage, compassion, and unity shown in the days that followed. We remember the importance of coming together as a community.
