Need to take back bottles and cans to the store ? Instead of waiting in the line to return them you can drop them off at the ECC to help fund our playground equipment. We are located on Belleville High School Campus. Pull into their main parking lot, go over two speed bumps and take the second left into our parking lot. You can set your bags by the front door at the ECC. We take them year round. Address is 451 West Columbia Ave. Belleville. Thank you for your support.

Dear Families, We have consistently heard from parents and guardians in our district that they love to be informed about what’s going on in our schools. But keeping up with that communication can be overwhelming. For a parent of one student, they need to keep abreast of Facebook, texts, emails, Class Dojo or Remind, and the website. If their kid is in sports, that usually adds in a few more streams of information. If they have multiple kids across different schools, it only gets worse. We know that there is a need to simplify this process and condense the streams of information coming in to parents and guardians, and that is why we are implementing a new service called ParentSquare. ParentSquare will take the place of multiple ways of communicating to parents, and put them all into one place, instead of needing to remember which stream a piece of information came from. ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, coaches, and parents to: Send and receive school and class information Share pictures and files See calendar items Sign up to volunteer and much more . . . all in one centralized place! Parents—Getting Started Video is here: https://parentsquare.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203414049-For-Parents-Getting-Started- All district, school, grade level, and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). Once you’ve logged in, you can set your preferences for how you’re notified in a variety of ways, to best suit your needs. The experience on the web-based and app experience is very similar, so how you access it is up to you. Have questions? You can email Jason Strzalkowski, jstrzalk@vanburenschools.net. (BHS / McBride / ECC) or Staci Russell, srussell1@vanburenschools.net, (Owen, Elementary Schools) for more information. We look forward to helping you be more connected to Van Buren Public Schools!

Hello ECC Families, On Wednesday, April 26th from 4-7pm we are doing a community scavenger hunt! Children will get a simple map of the area. Clues will guide your family around the community where your child(ren) will receive a hole punch on their card at that stop. There is a yummy treat awaiting you at the last stop! Punch cards will be turned in for a drawing for a $50 gift card to the Butcher Shop! We hope your family can join this fun event! Everyone is welcome! Please RSVP so we know how many to expect. https://forms.gle/HEXKAKrTxptX45LGA
