We appreciate all of our trustees' dedication to help make the district the best it can be, and their commitment to helping the district ensure each student receives a quality education.

As we start the first full week of our 2025 Spring Semester, here are a few reminders from our VISD District Nurse Jennifer Walker, RN, on our health protocols.
Monday starts the 2nd week of our Vernon ISD Attendance Incentive for the 4th Six Weeks. Each week a student has perfect attendance they receive a ticket to put in a drawing for a MEGA QUEST 3 virtual reality headset. There will be a drawing for EACH GRADE!!
If a student has perfect attendance for the entire grading period, they will have 7 tickets for the drawing. If a student misses a day one week, they're not eliminated from the competition, they just won't earn a ticket for that week. They will start with a clean slate the next week.
Our 40th anniversary celebration honoring the 1985 Class 3A State Champion Lady Lions will begin with at 5 p.m., this evening with a public reception in the VHS Bandhall. At the conclusion of the Lady Lions' game, at approximately 7:15 p.m., a ceremony honoring team members will be held at D.O. Fulton Gym. Please make plans to attend and help us celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Vernon High School's first team state champion.

UPDATE -- Due to the weather models constantly changing, our VISD Administration team believes there is currently not enough concrete information to make a decision on whether or not have school on Thursday. Officials also believe there will not be enough information to make that decision tonight. District officials will make a decision early Thursday morning on whether we will have a regular school day, a late start, or close for the day. District officials will be up early and checking roads if necessary. As soon as a decision is made, we will announce it on our Facebook pages, through texts and we will let the TV stations know.
Due to the inclement weather the area is expecting tomorrow, the VMS basketball games with Jacksboro Junior High have been cancelled. The boys were scheduled to travel to Jacksboro, while the girls were scheduled to host their Jacksboro counterparts.

Our student attendance rate for the Fall Semester was very good and we thank all of our parents for making a concerted effort to get their child/children to school. But, VISD always strives to do better! So we have a great incentive for the 4th Six Weeks of school, which begins Wednesday. At the end of the six weeks we will give away one META QUEST 3 virtual reality headset per GRADE!! Each week a student has perfect attendance, their name goes in a drawing for the META QUEST 3. So if student has perfect attendance for the entire six weeks, their name will be in the drawing 7 times (there are 7 weeks in this six weeks). Students keep up the good work and earn more chances to be rewarded with a great prize!
Vernon ISD wishes all of our district family, our students and their families, our friends and neighbors, and community a Happy New Year!!! Let's all strive to be our best in 2025!!
From Vernon ISD to all of our staff family, all of of our students and their families, and to the Vernon community and all of our neighbors and friends, we hope you have a very, very Merry Christmas!!
