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.

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!!
Just a quick reminder that due to UIL regulations, all VISD athletic facilities will be closed until Dec. 27.
Tomorrow is Vernon ISD's last day before our Christmas Break and it is an early release day.
Last week, third grade students in Ms. TiSierra White's class had a fun -- and tasty -- assignment that brought math to life and helped them learn how to find perimeter and area. In a math exercise, each student was given a handful of Cheez-Its to use as their measuring tools. They arranged the crackers in various shapes on their desks to calculate the perimeter and area. They worked together to solve problems and discover how the size of their shapes affected the measurements. The best part? After completing the exercise they got to enjoy eating the Cheez-Its as a well-earned snack.
Our VES staff held an Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest earlier this week and there were some great entries. First place went to Mr. Burr, while Ms. Self finished second and Mrs. Inman took third.
