The Van Buren School District is honored to serve and engage with our service members and their families. One of the biggest celebrations during the school year takes place on Veterans Day. Veterans in the community and surrounding area are invited to attend ceremonies held across our campuses that honor all who have served.
The Van Buren School District is honored to be a designated Purple Star School District, recognizing our commitment to supporting military-connected students and families. This honor highlights our dedication to addressing the unique needs of military families by providing a welcoming and supportive environment.
As a Purple Star District, we offer:
• Staff Training: Specialized training equips our staff to support military families effectively.
• Transition Programs: We assist students in adjusting to new schools due to military relocations.
• Family Engagement: Events and resources foster a welcoming community for military families.
At Van Buren School District, we are honored to serve those who serve our country. For more information, please contact our district office at 479-474-7942.
