Vernon Middle School

Our phone service has been restored. Thank you for you patience while we resolved the issue.

As we head into the final Six Weeks of the 2025-26 school year, we want to let everyone know Vernon ISD will be operating on our original school calendar, which means no school on May 4 & 11. Also please remember we will have an early release on May 13 for the Santa Rosa Rodeo Parade, and on May 21, the last day of school.

Vernon ISD is currently experiencing an outage with our phone system. We are actively working with our carrier to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and restore service. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

It was the guys' lucky day when we drew for the VMS Attendance Prize for the 5th Six Weeks of school. Winning the mystery box prizes were: Elias Trejo, 6th Grade; Logan Ware, 7th Grade; and Jay Athwal, 8th Grade. Great job to these three students and all of our students who make attending school a priority and strive for perfect attendance!!

A big thank you to Amanda Lehman with Texas Farm Bureau Insurance for donating the vases, and to Flower Boutique along with Brian & Karen Bayer for providing the beautiful flowers.
