Everybody wants to be a BHS TIGER! Come and find out why! Future Tiger Night at Belleville High School is Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. We can't wait for you to check out our academics, athletics, and activities!
🔍 What is Project-Based Learning (PBL)?
At Belleville New Tech, learning goes beyond lectures and worksheets. In every class, students tackle big-picture questions that matter—solving real-world problems while diving deep into their subjects.
Students work in teams, researching, collaborating, and presenting their findings in creative and meaningful ways. The result? You gain the skills to think critically, solve complex problems, and thrive in the real world.
The Freshman BNT Class had their final presentations today in the Farm to Plate project, where they researched a food from seed to table, and then prepared a meal with it. They presented their research to community members, their families, and other students, while shared their delicacies.
🌟 Curious about how PBL could change your high school journey? Visit bit.ly/VBPS-BNT to learn more and start your application today!

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!
