VISD VOLLEYBALL!!
Please remember there is a parent meeting for junior high and high school volleyball players today at 5 p.m., at D.O. Fulton Gym at VHS. If you have a daughter in the seventh thru twelfth grade who is planning on playing volleyball please attend this meeting.

We welcomed our incoming 6th graders to our campus for the first time today, as they attended 6th Grade Orientation. The students were greeted by our VMS cheerleaders and then were broken into three groups. Those groups rotated through three different stations including: getting their locker and locker combination; hearing about lunches and Lion Bucks; and learning about campus policies, rules and expectations.

There were quite a few parents taking advantage of our in-person enrollment/registration this morning at Vernon Elementary. Staff members from each of our campuses were there to help those who had questions. This morning's enrollment/registration session will continue until 1 p.m. The evening session will begin at 4 p.m. and continue until 7 p.m.

Our Vernon ISD in-person enrollment/registration for the 2026-27 school year will be held tomorrow at Vernon Elementary School. We will have representatives from every campus there ready to help get your youngster set for the new year. If you haven't enrolled/registered online, stop by from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., or 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The State of Texas requires certain immunizations before students can start the school year. Vernon ISD asks that you please review the information below to ensure your child is ready for the first day of school.

Three students were recognized by the Vernon ISD trustees during their business meeting earlier this week. Vernon High sophomore Katelyn McLaughlin was recognized for claiming a silver medal at the Class 3A UIL Academic State Tournament in Ready Writing in May.
Middle School students Saydi Flynn and Jadon Pearl were recognized for giving a presentation on the student dress code and how students of different body types have trouble finding some clothing, especially shorts, that meet the dress code. They gave their presentation to VISD Supt. Dr. Blaise Boswell and VMS Principal Katrina Price before the end of school. Due to their presentation, VISD administrators reworded the school dress code to help students with different body types find clothes that meet the dress code.

Our online student registration/enrollment is now available through Skyward. We apologize for the long delay, as Skyward worked through some issues. There may still be a few glitches with the process, so please be patient. Our in-person registration/enrollment will be held July 30, at Vernon Elementary School.
Also, students who are transferring into the district MUST pick up and complete some paperwork before they will be able to enroll. If you need the transfer-in paperwork, please stop by the VISD Administration Building, 1713 Wilbarger, and ask for Angel. The office is open until 4:30 p.m. today, and will be closed tomorrow. Next week the Admin office resumes the regular office hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday thru Friday.
