Van ISD Parents,
We regret to inform you that one of our Van ISD families lost their home to a fire last weekend. This family has students on three of our campuses. To help them during this difficult time, we are organizing a "hat day" for this Friday, April 19th. 🧢👒🎩
🤝 Students and staff can wear their favorite hat to school on Friday for a $1 donation. If you wish to make a larger donation, please contact Van High School. Please turn all in all donations to your child's campus.
We appreciate your generosity!

Van ISD Families,
Our district has participated with the Strong Fathers, Strong Families program for several years. The Texas Institute for Child & Family Wellbeing at UT Austin is seeking to collaborate with schools in our area to gather community feedback on the program, in hopes to further increase family engagement in student learning.
How can you help? We need your input! Please join this Facebook page, which will be used as an open forum: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555458486035
Engagement liaisons from Van ISD and surrounding school districts will be posting various survey questions in this group for you to provide feedback on. We are proud supporters of the Strong Fathers, Strong Families Program, and we appreciate your participation to help strengthen it even further.
Please contact your child's campus if you have any questions.
