VMS’ Winter Formal is quickly approaching. This event will be held on December 15th, from 6-8 PM in the middle school’s gym. The coronation will be from 6-6:20ish and will give families time to take photos before your departure. At 6:25 we will be asking parents to step out for the next 1 hour and a half to allow the student to have a great time dancing their night away. At 6:30, I would like to invite families to the school’s cafeteria for some review and introduce some new programs the middle school is initiating. Of course there will be punch and cookies to bribe you with. Please look out for the coming post on the dance specifics.

Anonymous Reporting
Vernon ISD is committed to the safety of our students and want them, along with the community, to feel comfortable with reporting any concerns they may have. We are now using a program called Stop It which allows anyone to make an anonymous report about a variety of situations including bullying, drugs, vaping, violence, self-harm, threats, and so much more!
If you, or someone you know, would like to make a report, they can do so by going to https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/login. They will search for Vernon ISD and then choose the campus. The report is completely anonymous.
Congratulations to our students of the week for November 7th - 11th!

A message from our band directors:
Eleven 7th and 8th grade band students tried out for the North Zone District Band on Saturday, November 12, 2022. There were over 500 students from various schools trying out for a spot in the District Band.
Students trying out from VMS were Mia Martinez, flute; George McCarty, flute; Emma Pena, flute; Tristan Arellanos, clarinet; Ariana Mandoza, clarinet; Luis Perez, clarinet; Christian Perez, trumpet; Sebastian Sanders, trumpet; Lily Maxwell, trombone; Flor Ortega, tuba; and Julian Rodriguez, percussion.
Luis Perez earned 24th chair in the clarinet section, and Flor Ortega earned 2nd chair in the tuba section.
These two will perform in a concert at Wichita Falls High School on December 10th.
The band directors are so proud of all of these students. They represented our school very well on Saturday!

Happy Thursday Everyone. I just wanted to touch base on a few things. Students do not have school tomorrow due to professional development. Monday is Halloween. At the middle school we do not permit costumes or candy to be passed out. I do encourage student to wear orange/black or even a halloween themed t-shirt if they would like. The shirt must be school appropriate. Thank you all for supporting VMS.
