Attention Buffalo Public Schools families of 7th and 8th graders!
NYSED has updated the Athletic Placement Process (APP) for students wishing to try out for JV or Varsity sports.
Every season. Every sport. A new request is required!
A parent or guardian must complete the updated APP invitation request process each season for every sport their child wishes to try out for, even if their child previously participated on a JV or Varsity team or passed the old APP fitness test.
Previous participation and passing the former fitness test do not exempt students from the updated process.
Families, please review these important resources:
- Parent Letter
- APP Invitation Request Form
- NYSED Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Buffalo Public Schools Athletics APP Website
Please review the updated procedures and complete the required request for each sport and season.
