Due to a recent law, school counselors, just like school nurses, must now have parental consent before providing routine counseling services to students. Our school counselors have a form we are asking all parents to fill out and return to their child's school. Students at Vernon Middle School and Vernon High School should have brought their form home yesterday (Monday), while students at Vernon Elementary and T.G. McCord Elementary will be bringing their form home today. Parents, PLEASE complete the form and return it to the school as soon as possible.
