Savage Elementary

Good Evening Savage Families, I would like to start by saying thank you for attending our Open House last night, it was fantastic to see everyone! I am so excited for this school year to begin. With that said, I just want to provide a few reminders: 1. Tomorrow is a full day of school. 8:55 a.m. - 4:04 p.m. 2. Please be sure to walk your students to their outside classroom door to enter school. If your child is eating breakfast, they may enter through the classroom doors. 3. Please NO parking in the drop off lane, we want to keep the traffic moving. Please pack your patience and remember to model for our students how we would want them to act. 4. If you need help finding your teacher or classroom, please find a staff member that is outside and they will be able to direct you. 5. If your child is riding a bus, please be patient since the drivers are taking extra care to look after your child and also get to know them. I look forward to seeing all of you in the morning.

These are the rockstars who have joined the Van Buren Public Schools instructional staff for the 2022-2023 school year. Go Tigers!
