This school year we are challenging our students to Strive for No More than Five absences for the entire school year! Perfect attendance may seem impossible, but no more than five absences is achievable for most students! However, they can't do it alone! Students need someone at home supporting and encouraging them to be at school everyday and on time.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND BREAK - This is a reminder that Van Buren County Schools will be CLOSED tomorrow, Friday, September 2nd and Monday, September 5th for the Labor Day Break.
Be safe and enjoy the long weekend!
StopIt Safety Reporting App -
Van Buren County Schools has partnered with TN Risk Management to provide our students and community with an easy way to report incidents of school and student safety to administration and staff.
StopIt is an app and web based safety reporting program. Reporters remain completely anonymous.
You can find the app in the app store or by visiting https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/login and searching for "Van Buren County Schools - Spencer, TN"
Please explain to your students that this app is only to be used for legitimate safety concerns. False reports waste valuable time and resources and undermine the purpose behind the program.
It is our desire that this program adds another layer of safety and security to our school system and helps us to mitigate problems and concerns.
Thank you for your help in making our schools safer!
The Convoy of Hope, which serves all counties in the Upper Cumberland including Van Buren County, will be in Crossville, on Saturday, August 27. Please share this post with families in need.
Van Buren County Schools are happy to announce that the TN Dept. of Health's School Based Dental Prevention Program will be providing sealants, fluoride varnish, dental screenings, and education to our students in PreK through 8th grade starting in September! In order to participate in this awesome program, your child must have a consent form signed by a parent or guardian. Consent forms have been sent home with all students in PreK-8th grade. If you have misplaced your child's form, please call Kelly Lewis at (931) 946-7371.
The first full week of school is busy, hectic, and sometimes even a little crazy! We all deserve a little fun after the work we have put in this week! We hope to see all of our students, families, staff, and faculty at the FREE Back to School Splash! See flyer below for details!
Good attendance habits pay off! From PreK to 12th grade, 80% of success is showing up on time and being ready to learn! We ask our parents, families, and community to encourage and support our students as they strive to arrive! Strong Attendance=Strong Students!
