Thank you
Vernon Community:
In addition to me, district officials have been monitoring Monday night’s and Tuesday’s forecast since last week. Our concerns have grown due to the weather models that have constantly changed. In the best interest of both our students and staff, all Vernon schools will move to a 2-hour delayed start for tomorrow. The 2-hour delay gives district officials enough time to access the roads in the morning and review the most current weather forecasts. An update will be posted on the district’s website, the district’s APP and Facebook to determine further decisions beyond the 2-hour delay.
Please see the attached message from our Superintendent regarding a social media post on Friday mistakenly referring to one of our local campuses. Please know the post has been investigated and determined not to affect any Vernon ISD campuses, but we will be monitoring the situation closely.
Vernon ISD is bringing in Dr. Harrison to talk to our students and community about bullying prevention. Dr. Harrison will be at the following locations on February 28.
- Vernon High School to meet with the students at 9:00am
- Vernon Middle School to meet with the students at 1:30pm
- Wilbarger Auditorium to meet with the parents and the community at 6:00pm
We look forward to working with our students and the community to prevent bullying.
Our new Vernon Elementary School construction is coming along nicely! We should be in our new school later this year. Check out what's coming in our new school: https://youtu.be/1hwC8vpjomQ
