MEGA Pass Day! 🎉

Today in JH/HS we celebrated our students who scored Advanced or Proficient on their MAP/EOC assessments by rewarding them with their very own MEGA Pass! 🎟️

We are SO proud of the hard work, dedication, and effort our students put in to reach their goals! 💪📚

No test. No fundraiser. No catch. Just snacks. 😂🍪

Sometimes you don't need a reason to make someone's day a little sweeter!

Our JH/HS students got a Little Debbie surprise today, courtesy of our Fun Fund. Because apparently, the best use of a Fun Fund is exactly what it sounds like… having a little fun! 😆

Just a small treat, but lots of happy faces. ❤️

Van Buren students and faculty, did you know you can connect with a healthcare provider without leaving school?

If you missed us at the Back-to-School Fair, be sure to check out our flyer about the Virtual School Clinic available to Van Buren students and faculty during school hours.

Through a secure virtual visit, students and staff can connect with a Missouri Highlands healthcare provider for many common health concerns, including colds, coughs, sore throats, flu symptoms, stomach issues, UTIs, rashes, bug bites and more.

It’s another way we’re making healthcare more convenient and accessible for our local schools and families.
