Attention parents: STAAR tests are fast approaching! Please encourage your student to get a good night of sleep the night before a test, eat a filling breakfast the morning of a test, wear comfortable clothing, bring a book to their testing room with them, and to take their time and try their best!
We are very honored to announce Misti Dickerson as our teacher of the year and Juan Lopez as our staff of the year! Vernon Middle School is lucky to have both of you on our team! Congratulations!
Please be aware that Skyward is doing some updates to improve security of their platform. After this update occurs, you may be required to create a new password for your Skyward account when you log in. We do not know the exact date of this update, but expect it to be within the next week. If you are not prompted to create a new password, then your password already complies with their new updates. We just wanted our parents to be aware in case they see the new password prompt upon signing in to Skyward. This will affect both parent and student logins.
Rev. Anthony Inman, pastor of the First Methodist Church, delivers a check to Vernon ISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward and Skyler Boatman, VISD Director of Child Nutrition Services, to cover all outstanding cafeteria charges for VISD students for the spring semester. This marks the second year for First Methodist Church to pay off the cafeteria outstanding charges for all VISD students.
Vernon ISD is gearing up for the 2023-24 school year and we have several open teaching positions. Check out the information below.
Vernon ISD is blessed to have parents of students who support and appreciate our teachers and staff. To celebrate the end of each 6 weeks, parents at each of our campuses do something a little special for our teachers and staff. As the latest sixth weeks came to an end last week, McCord staff received fruit cups, while Central and Shive parents stocked the teacher’s lounge with snacks, and Middle School staff received handmade cookies and survival kits. Vernon High School staff received hand-delivered treats of their choice. Our students also love to see familiar faces at their schools during their school day. Vernon ISD is very thankful for the support shown to our teachers and staff. We love having parents, families and community members involved in school activities. If you would like to participate, please contact Kori Eakin, Family and Community Engagement Coordinator, at 940-553-1900, ext. 2229 or at kori.eakin@visdtx.org.
