🍂⏰ Time to ‘Fall Back’!
Just a friendly reminder from Van Buren County Schools: Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2, 2025 — at 2:00 a.m., clocks will roll back one hour.
That means:
✅ You get one extra hour of sleep!
✅ Mornings will be a bit brighter — but the sun will set earlier.
Helpful tips for families & students:
🕑Consider setting your clocks back before you go to bed Saturday night to avoid confusion Sunday morning.
🌞With earlier evenings, it’s a great time to remind kids about safety: more daylight in the morning means better visibility.
🚨Since the change affects all of us — not just school schedules — it’s a good moment to check that smoke alarms and other safety devices are working properly.
Thanks for staying on schedule and helping our school community transition smoothly! 🌟

🎃👻 A Scary Reminder This Halloween Morning! 👻🎃
As our students head out to their bus stops in costumes and excitement, please remember—there’s nothing scarier than a driver who doesn’t stop for a school bus. 🚨🚌
When you see those flashing red lights and extended stop arm, it means STOP—no tricks, no excuses. Children may be crossing the road, and one careless moment could have lifelong consequences.
Let’s keep our roads safe this Halloween (and every day)! 🎃💛
