The Van Buren School District benefits from a strong network of Pointer Partners which strengthen our connection to the community and provide helpful resources for our campuses. Many schools have long-established relationships with local businesses, non-profits, churches, and civic groups. These organizations routinely share resources in the form of volunteers and donations to support school endeavors.
