HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Dear Van Buren Families and Friends,

We are so excited to welcome back our students at the start of this new year as they continue their learning journey with us.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of the families who contributed to the gift card collection, the Student Council Christmas Bureau food donations, and classroom celebrations. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.

January Highlights
  • January 9th: PARP begins!
  • January 20th: No School - Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • January 23rd: PTA meeting (6:30 pm)
  • January 24th: 2nd marking period ends
  • January 29: No School - Lunar New Year

Please refer to the calendar of events below for more important events.

Winter Reminders
With the snow falling, please ensure your child dresses warmly for school. Recess will continue outdoors as long as the "feels like" temperature remains at 20 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. And please label ALL items.

Important Reminder Regarding Holiday Gifts
We understand students may be eager to show off their new toys and gifts after the holidays. However, please note that:
  • Electronic devices (Smartwatches, phones, handheld gaming devices)
  • Toys including trading cards and stuffed animals
are not permitted in school as they are a distraction to learning and students become upset if they are lost or damaged.

Thank you for your continued support.

Warm regards,
Cindy Cronin
Principal
