Vernon ISD is looking for parents to be a part of our School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). Better health leads to higher grades, and when you participate your child is more successful! The council meets four times a year. For more information check out the flyer below.
We hope everyone has had a great 2 days of school. As we get back into the swing of things, please notice the two quick reminders below. Our start time is 7:45 a.m., so students arriving after 7:50 a.m. will be marked as tardy. If your child takes advantage of the free breakfast the district offers all students, please have them here a little earlier than our start time.
ALSO, our Pre-K students do not eat breakfast right when they arrive. Instead, our Pre-K classes enjoy breakfast together a bit later. This helps create a calm, relaxed atmosphere where we can give them extra help and attention.
Thank you for your help in keeping us on track and getting our days started off in the right direction.

Vernon ISD is kicking off year two of our Dudes on Duty volunteer program — and we need your help to spread the word!
We’re looking for dads, husbands, grandfathers, uncles, church friends, and other positive male role models to spend time with our students during morning drop-off and lunch/recess. Just showing up, engaging with students, and offering a friendly presence can make a huge difference in creating a safe and welcoming environment.
All campuses are participating — and whether or not they have kids in our district, all men are welcome — however, they must be an APPROVED VOLUNTEER!
📝 VISD Volunteer application found here: https://bit.ly/VISDVolunteerApplication
✅ If you know of an already approved volunteer, here are the links for each campus with available dates and areas to serve:

Thursday, 50 VISD teachers from all campuses, some new to the district and some returning staff, participated in Capturing Kids Hearts professional development. Capturing Kids' Hearts is a program designed to create positive and effective learning environments in schools by focusing on social-emotional wellbeing, building strong relationships, and fostering a sense of connectedness among students and staff. It aims to transform school culture through relationship-based strategies, ultimately improving student behavior, academic performance, and overall school climate.
Thursday, our Pre-K teachers and paraprofessionals participated in a professional development that focused on the adopted Pre-K curriculum, Frog Street. Frog Street is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum for early childhood education, designed for children in prekindergarten. It focuses on integrating instruction across developmental domains, including social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive development. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, intentional instruction, and family engagement, while also being aligned with state standards.
