Is your child in need of immunizations, an annual physical, or a sick visit? Mobile health clinics will be available this summer to provide convenient care for children in our community.
Appointments are available from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and must be scheduled in advance. Call or text 716-368-1991 to schedule an appointment.
Services are open to all — your child does not need to attend summer camp to receive care. Families needing primary care support can also connect with a pediatrician through the mobile clinics. Details: https://www.buffaloschools.org/o/bps/article/2977719

Big step for BPS Food Service and for our entire BPS community today with the beam topping off ceremony held at new Commissary building built on E. Delavan Ave.
Buffalo Public School Superintendent Pascal Mubenga and other BPS leaders marked a key step in the development of a new commissary to serve the Buffalo Public Schools. When operational, the new commissary will significantly improve the quality and freshness of meals served to our students. It will allow the district to use the cook-chill food preparation method, prepare more meals from scratch in large quantities, and use locally sourced ingredients from area farms and other suppliers. These improvements will reduce the amount of processed and frozen foods served while increasing the variety and nutritional options served to our students. The new commissary is another investment in student wellness and will enable the district to better address the diverse cultural needs of our students.
