Happy Veterans Day from Van Dyke Schools to all the brave men and women who served our country and fought for our freedom! You are appreciated beyond words today and every day.

Please check out Mrs. Bognar's November Newsletter!

Don't forget to exercise your right to vote today! We can all fulfill our civic duty and make our voices heard. If you know of one person who has made a significant difference in your life, think of the difference you can make in our world. Polls will be open until 8 pm locally.

It's not quite time for our State Champs to show their stuff, however they have been sharing their talent with our elementary students. This past Saturday, Biddy Basketball concluded for our 2nd-5th graders with some fun and fundamentals at Lincoln High School. Everyone had a great time and worked together to improve their skills. Thank you to Coach Wy and our Lincoln Abes!

Lincoln High School students who are of voting age and Warren residents: Do you still need to register to vote before Tuesday's election? Ms. Jocelyn Howard has set up a way to make it happen this Friday during the day. Please see the flyer and let Mrs. Harris or Coach A know if you have questions. Remember that voting is a right in our country and we fought for a long time to ensure we all have and keep it!

Van Dyke Families, are you looking for something fun and educational to do this Saturday? Look no further! The Macomb ISD is hosting a Reading Carnival, featuring authors, illustrators, and some local supporters of literacy along with cider, donuts, and fun activities. See the flyer for more details.

Congratulations to Mrs. M. Davies of Carlson! She received a back-to-school grant from GLP, and will put it to great use in her Kindergarten Classroom with her lucky little ones. Thank you to GLP for making many days brighter!

On Friday, Lincoln High School received a phenomenal gift from United Way and Comerica Cares - ONE HUNDRED laptops! The Superintendent's Leadership Council was ready to hear all about it and receive theirs, and the school will have the remainder for other students to use when needed. This donation will provide opportunity beyond schoolwork; and their faces show it. You can't help but see thoughts of "I can do my college applications!" and "This will help me to write, complete homework, apply for a job, find new information, etc." on those beaming faces. Everyone is so grateful. Thank you, @UnitedWay and @ComericaCares !

Our Homecoming weekend at Lincoln High School was a great success! Although pictures cannot accurately capture the many lasting memories, here are a few from the Day One festivities. The pep rally and game were a blast. We hope to have some pictures from the dance soon.

It's another busy month in the world of CTE. Today, one of our Manufacturing Week field trips was to the PCS Company. They welcomed our students, talked about careers, and even made a congratulatory basketball for our Abes. You'll also see three of our Dental Assisting students, Danae Lamour, Destinee Burns, and Amilliyon Crump, wearing pink scrubs for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Our students and partners are simply the best. Let's go, ABES!

HOMECOMING!!! This Friday, October 4th! Come and watch an exciting game against New Haven! GO ABES!!!

Good morning, Van Dyke families! We are currently experiencing a power outage that affects the Kennedy Early Childhood Center. Our students in the Our World of Fours program will be sent home, and calls have been made. The power should be restored around 12:30 this afternoon to ensure regular operations for tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.

Please read this letter from Superintendent Bognar regarding a non credible threat that was reported today.

Please see this letter from Superintendent Piper Bognar regarding school safety measures at secondary schools.

It's hard to believe it's been twenty-three years, but we will never forget one of the days our world changed once again. September 11, 2001 is a date that gives us chills. We remember the many first responder heroes and all of those who lost their lives with love and admiration.

Here's your video message from Mrs. Bognar for the week, with a theme of "What Does the Superintendent Do in Van Dyke?": https://youtu.be/-2C9ZNxw-Zg
