McCord Family and Friends,
Are you ready for the Christmas season? Well, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing LOUD for all to hear and McCord's very own 1st grade students will be performing their Christmas Program at Wilbarger Auditorium on Thursday night, December 1st, 2022, at 6:30pm. You will not want to miss out on this FABULOUS & CHEERFUL event! We look forward to seeing you all there!

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.
