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.
Examples of Pointer Partner involvement include, but are not limited to:
- Volunteering at school-sponsored functions
- Offering internships, job shadowing, and apprenticeship opportunities for students
- Providing gifts for children in need at the holidays
- Delivering treats for teacher appreciation week
- Sponsoring club or program activities
- Serving as judges or interviewers for competitions
For the safety of students and staff, volunteers may be required to undergo an official background check. All visitors are required to Check-in upon arrival at VBSD campuses.
To inquire about becoming a Pointer Partner, please contact Drew Cone, Director of Athletics and Activities at dcone@vbsd.us.
