A new state law now requires schools to have written parental consent before providing some non-emergency health care services to students. VISD's school nurses want to provide students with the health care they need -- when they need it -- but must also stay in compliance with state law. Consent forms will be sent home with students this week. We urge parents to review and complete the consent forms and bring the forms back to your child's school.
Please know emergency care will be provided when necessary, as allowed by law and district policy.

Friday's dress-up theme was "Construction Day" to coincide with the pep rally theme "Wreck the Bulldogs." We had plenty of construction workers roaming our halls and showing plenty of spirit!

There has been a change to the VISD 2025-26 school calendar. Due to a scheduling conflict for the Prosper football stadium, the Lions' football game scheduled for Friday, Sept. 19, in Prosper has been moved to Thursday, Sept. 18. The district had an early release scheduled for that Friday and it has now been moved to Thursday, to coincide with the game change. Friday, Sept. 19, will now be a regular, full school day.

All VISD students, teachers and staff are enjoying this Monday Labor Day holiday, but we will be back in school tomorrow and we will be in a new month, as today is September 1. A new month means a new school cafeteria menu! Check out the September cafeteria menu below.
