Happy Friday! Today’s theme was super spirit, and our student body is going all out! The homecoming football game is tonight against North Baltimore, and we hope to see you all there supporting our team! Go Knights! #BeABlackKnight

Bus #21 will be running an hour late this pm. This issue is the same as this am. We do not have enough drivers for the routes. Sorry for the short notice.

Good Evening! The good news is that we are scheduled to have school tomorrow. The not so good news is that if you ride bus #21 it will be an hour late tomorrow. We are down bus drivers and our sub drivers are already busy doing other things.

Thanks to our dedicated local law enforcement, the suspect has been caught and all activities are now back on for Van Buren this evening. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Good Afternoon! All buildings will remain closed until at least 4 pm. All extra curricular events have been pushed back until 4 pm. All of this is subject to change based on information from local law enforcement. I will keep you updated as things change.

Van Buren Local Schools will be closed Thursday, October 7. After consulting with our School Resource Officer, we have decided to close school due to a search for a suspect related to the officer involved shooting in our area. I will update as we move throughout the day.

Only 2 days till this years homecoming, and our 2021 court is ready to dance the night away this Saturday! #BeABlackKnight

We were "flocked" today by Cancer Patient Services! One of our VB students asked for his birthday to "flock" the school with flamingos in honor of all those who have fought a cancer diagnosis. He especially wanted to celebrate Mrs. Obenour and honor his grandma, who was recently diagnosed. What a fantastic way to also kick off October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month! #BeABlackKnight
