McBride Middle School is a proud recipient of the
MI HEARTSafe School Award:

We are proud to announce that McBride is now designated as a MI HEARTSafe School. A HEARTSafe designation recognizes a school’s efforts to prevent sudden cardiac death of the young (SCDY) by preparing for a cardiac emergency. Members of this school community know how to recognize the signs of a sudden cardiac arrest and respond quickly by calling 9-1-1 and using CPR and an automated external defibrillator (AED) until EMS arrives.

Thank you for your continued support and GO TIGERS!

Good evening,

Van Buren Public Schools will be holding the Fall 2021 Parent-Teacher Conferences remotely. Owen, Edgemont, Rawsonville, Savage and Tyler Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Wednesday, November 3 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Thursday, November 4 from 1:15 - 4:15 p.m. and 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. Conferences will be done through a website called Meet the Teacher. To have a conference with a teacher, you need only to sign up for a slot for your student using vbps.meettheteacher.com . The link to this site will also be posted on the Owen and elementary websites in the bulletin board section.

Once you sign in, you will see each of the teachers for each of your students, as well as the ability to manually schedule conference times for your student. On the day of the conferences, you need only sign back into that same website and begin the conferences that will be ready for you.

If you need assistance, we have built resources for you into the VBPS Help Center website https://sites.google.com/vanburenschools.net/vbpshelpcenter/meet-the-teacher. Additionally, feel free to reach out to Mr. Wilson at mwilson@vanburenschools.net if you need additional assistance.
