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.

Our VMS Students of the Week for last week are: 6th Grade -- Clara Perez & Xavier Gomez; 7th Grade -- Alexandria Cox & Asher Moore; and 8th Grade -- Brillett Castillo Beltran (not pictured) & Luke Payne. Congratulations!! Keep up the good work!!

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!

Last week, second grade completed Unit One of their RLA curriculum: "Fairy Tales and Tall Tales." In one of the tall tales, "Paul Bunyan," it told the story of Sourdough Sam cooking giant flapjacks in the world's biggest frying pan for Paul Bunyan. On Friday, Mrs. Robyn Hamm's class cooked miniature pancakes and discussed the antonyms of giant, colossal, enormous, big being small, miniature, tiny, and small.

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.

Our 7th Grade Band students have hit the ground running and have begun rehearsing songs for our fall semester performances, as well as music they will perform alongside the high school band later in the football season! We are proud of their hard work and can't wait to see them shine this school year!

It is Construction Day in the district as it falls inline with the theme for the football pep rally, "Wreck the Bulldogs." Students and staff are decked out in their best construction gear.

Earlier this week World History students stepped outside to play the oldest game known to mankind. This game is believed to have been around for 20,000 years or more. Paleontologists named it "Chunk-ay". Bowling, marbles and soccer are games that have get their roots from this game. Scientists were able to gather knowledge about this game thru contextual data.
