Like most schools, Van Buren Elementary maintains an active PTA as a way to provide the families of our students a voice to speak on behalf of every child. PTA helps establish tools to help children be safe, healthy, and successful — in school and in life. The mission of the Van Buren PTA is to establish and nurture a close relationship between the parents, teachers, and students by advancing opportunities in the home, school, and community of the school.
The PTA provides assistance to teachers in classroom settings, raises funds for supplemental educational materials and experiences, supports school and family social interaction, and provides a non-biased forum for sharing information on issues that impact our children. It is our belief that the team effort of a parent-teacher association offers the best possible learning environment for our children.
