The Orchard Park Middle School will be closed on Friday, April 29 due to student and staff illness with flu-like symptoms for all middle school students. All middle school building and athletic activities are cancelled April 28-May 1.

A significant number of Middle School students and staff members were absent on Thursday, April 28 and several students went home ill on Thursday. As a precaution, and in consultation with our school physician, the Middle School will be closed on Friday, April 29, and all Middle School building activities, including modified athletics will be cancelled Thursday, April 28 through Sunday, May 1. This will allow staff members time to thoroughly disinfect the building before students return on Monday, May 2. We will also be thoroughly disinfecting our transportation fleet on Thursday, April 28 and Friday April 29.

All other Orchard Park School buildings and their building activities, including athletic events, will remain open since there has been no change in the number of absences.
