Good morning, We have been monitoring the weather throughout the week for tonight’s graduation. After careful consideration of all the factors, we have decided to move tonight’s graduation ceremony into the gymnasium. Doors to the school will open at 6pm and the graduation ceremony will begin at 7pm. We will have a live stream of the ceremony as well, please use the link below. We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2022 with you this evening. https://youtu.be/Zpu7bxmFXPQ

Good morning seniors and senior parents. Congratulations, we have made it to the final day of your senior year, and we are just as excited and anxious as you are for all of the festivities that go along with it. I am contacting you today to give you an update on Friday’s Graduation Ceremony. We are continuing to monitor the weather for Friday evening. Regardless of weather, Graduation will be on Friday evening at 7pm on the campus of Buffalo High School. Our desire is to have our Graduation Ceremony outside on the football field, but our backup plan would be to move it into the gym if mother nature does not cooperate. We will make a final decision on the location by Friday morning. Thank you and have a great day.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be tomorrow, Thursday April 7th, from 5-7pm. If you would like to schedule a conference please contact your students teachers through schoology or call the school at 304-937-2661.

Attention Buffalo High School Families: It was brought to the administration’s attention that individuals have received spam calls from someone identifying as a BHS employee soliciting debit card information for SAT materials. Please know that this is a scam call and not an individual from our school. BHS will never ask for credit or debit card information over the phone. We would ask that you please notify the school administration if you receive a similar call. BHS will work to inform the appropriate outlets to resolve this issue. Thank you for your continued support and awareness of this matter.

Starting tomorrow Jan 19, 2022 the morning tardy bell will be ringing at 7:55am. This is 3 minutes earlier than the 1st semester. Please make sure to adjust your arrival time accordingly.

We are pleased to inform you that students who took the West Virginia General Summative Assessment or SAT School Day in spring 2021 will receive an email at their K12 student email account on December 10, 2021, containing a link to an individual student video score report. Parents with emails on file with the school will also receive the link to the video score report. Although students received their printed score reports earlier this school year, the West Virginia Department of Education is piloting exciting new video score reports designed to be more engaging for students and their parents or guardians. Please have your student check his or her email account for the link, and parents and guardians should also check to see if it has been received. Simply copy and paste the link into your web browser and enter the student's date of birth to access the video score report customized specifically for the student. Also, be sure to check out the links to resources in the video report. If you have any difficulty accessing the report, please contact the school for assistance.
