Join the Van Buren County School System in giving a big Thank You to our School Social Worker, Mrs. Crystal Owens, during School Social Work Week. School Social Work Week runs from March 3rd to March 9th. Thank you, Mrs. Crystal, for all you do for the students of Van Buren County!
These 5th grade students in Mrs. Young's homeroom are riding the wave of success with School Breakfast! When the school week gets busy, it’s easy for students to rush out the door in the morning without breakfast! That’s why school breakfast is such a great option! In fact, students who participate in school breakfast tend to have better school attendance, better behavior, and better grades! So, choose a nutritious school breakfast with a healthy grain, fruit, and dairy every day!
As always at Van Buren County Schools ensuring the safety of our children remains a top priority. We understand that your concern for your child's well-being is paramount, and we share that commitment to creating a secure learning environment. To enhance school safety, we'd like to share some important tips and guidelines for both you and your child in the event of an emergency.
A quick note regarding tomorrow night's girls' Sectional game. Per TSSAA regulations, "everyone school age & over must purchase a ticket."

Van Buren County Schools Families,
This morning, a report was submitted through the StopIt reporting app that indicated that a student "had a gun." This prompted our internal safety team and administration to immediately place the campus on lockdown. The investigation revealed that a student had made a comment about having a gun in a joking manner. Another student overheard this statement, did the right thing, and reported it. Fortunately, there was never a real threat to student or staff safety and the regular school day resumed shortly after.
Parents and families, please join our efforts in talking with your students about appropriate conversations. Safety is of utmost importance and not something to be taken lightly. We must all use our words wisely and in a manner that builds a safe learning environment.
Thank you to our students and staff for responding to the situation and taking it seriously. Thank you to our families for your concern and for the love you show our students each day. We are blessed to live in this community.
Jared Copeland
Director of Schools

February marks the month-long celebration of Love the Bus, a time to show gratitude towards the dedicated professionals who ensure the safety of students on their journey to and from school. This initiative is a meaningful way to recognize the diverse group of individuals who make the yellow school bus experience possible for students. Van Buren County Schools would like to take this time to thank each one of our bus drivers, transportation maintenance, and Supervisor of Transportation who work tirelessly every day to ensure our students make it to and from school safely. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who donated items for this great service learning project!
