We are thrilled to announce that our FANUC-Mechatronics class has received CTE approval from the State of Michigan! This is great news because students now have the opportunity to earn FANUC Robot Level 1 Operator credentials, earn college credits, and participate in related work-based learning! This also opens doors for approaching and working with industry partners! Go Tigers!
Over the past few years, Work-Based Learning (WBL) at Belleville High School has been limited to students in Career Technical Education (CTE) programs. In the Spring 2025 semester, the WBL program was rebranded and re-envisioned as the Youth Employment Initiative. This inaugural group of five students, known as Tiger Talent, serves the community in paid and intern positions with partners such as
-The City of Belleville
-CVS Health
-Van Buren Township
In Purpose, Excellence, and Achievement, Go Tigers!

🤝 Collaboration: The Heart of BNT
Success isn’t a solo journey, and at Belleville New Tech, we prepare you to work in diverse teams to accomplish big goals. Students learn to communicate, lead, and adapt—all while building projects that make a difference.
Worried about group work? Don’t be! Each team creates a contract to ensure accountability, and you’ll have the chance to develop skills in leadership, delegation, and conflict resolution—tools that prepare you for college, careers, and beyond.
To demonstrate just how impactful collaboration can be, BNT students traveled to McBride Middle School last week to challenge students to a cup stacking challenge, using string and rubber bands.

THANK YOU, TIGER FAMILIES!
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!
