VISD students will get a day out of school Tuesday, as it is Parent-Teacher Conference Day. Parents should have received information from their child's campus about conference day. We ask that parents please schedule an appointment to visit with their child's teacher/teachers. Scheduling a visit makes it easier on both the parents and the teachers. While we will not turn a parent away, if a visit is not scheduled, the parent may have to wait until their teacher/teachers have an opening and can visit with them. Vernon ISD encourages parents to take advantage of these opportunities to become involved in, and ask questions about, their child's education.

Earlier this week our Director of Safety & Security, Lt. Autumn Thames, along with our VMS SRO Deputy Ronnie Adams, and Vernon PD Chief Dan Birbeck presented the program "Words Matter: School Safety Starts With What We Say" to our students. The goal of this program is to help prevent threats to our schools by educating students about the seriousness of the words they use and the potential consequences of making threatening statements.
Students are being reminded that even joking about a threat is not a joke. Statements involving violence or threats against a school, student, teacher, or staff member must be taken seriously and can result in significant school discipline and serious legal consequences.
Through “Words Matter,” we want students to understand their words have an impact.
Words matter. Choices matter. School safety matters.
