In the event of a crisis on a school or district level, the Van Buren School District Communications Department will work closely with VBSD administration and other necessary entities to communicate information to stakeholders in a timely manner.
VBSD utilizes a variety of platforms including, but not limited to: District website, SchoolStatus, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) to communicate important announcements and updates.
A key component of VBSD’s crisis communications plan is its mass notification system, SchoolStatus. This allows VBSD to communicate quickly and directly with families via text and email. Parents/Guardians are asked to provide this contact information at the beginning of each school year. It is essential that families update phone numbers, as well as email and physical addresses if changes occur during the school year.
