Parents and students may access EOC and STAAR scores on the TEA Family Portal at www.texasassessment.gov. and also through Skyward. Here is a video to show you how to access those scores through Skyward: https://screenpal.com/watch/c01tYLVgQjg
To login to the TEA portal you will need the following:
1. Unique Student Access Code
2. Date of Birth
3. Legal first name.
The Unique Student Access Code can be found on any previous STAAR Report Cards.
If your student was not enrolled in Vernon ISD at the end of the 2022-23 school year, they may not have access through Skyward. If anyone is unable to access the scores through Skyward, please email chantilly.sweet@visdtx.org and provide your student's name, campus and grade level.
Vernon ISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward started his first, first day of school with Vernon ISD at McCord Elementary where he found some friends to join him for a first-day photo. Dr. Ward visited each school campus today, walking the hallways, talking to students and teachers, and either went into, or peeped in on each class. All campuses reported a relatively smooth first day of school, which is a great way to start this great 2023-24 school year!!
A big THANK YOU to C&N Flowers and Cindy Henderson for delivering this beautiful bouquet of roses to the Administrative Center this morning wishing Vernon ISD a great 2023-24 school year. This type of community support will help make it a great school year. Thanks again!

More scenes from Meet The Lions with football, trainers, cheerleaders and cross country.
Meet The Lions was held last night at Leo Brittain Field at Lion Stadium. The varsity football players, along with varsity members of tennis, volleyball, and cross country, cheerleaders and Roarin' Lion Band members were introduced during the event.
There was plenty of activity at Central Elementary Tuesday evening for the Meet the Teacher event. Second and third grade students and parents found their classrooms and met their teachers. They are starting the school year at Central, but will move into the new elementary school later this fall.
There was a great turn out at McCord Elementary Tuesday night for the Meet the Teacher event. Students and parents found their classroom and met their teacher.
Vernon ISD is involved in the PowerPak Program, which meets the needs of children who are food insecure by providing them with nutritious and easy-to-prepare food to take home on weekends and school holidays when other resources are not available. Consistent access to healthy food is important for children to be their best selves. If you would like your student(s) to receive food packs throughout the year, please reach out to Nicole Cameron, District Social Worker, at (940) 553-1900 ext. 2248 or at nicole.cameron@visdtx.org. You will be provided a parent permission form to sign and return. We cannot provide your student(s) with a food pack unless you have returned the parent permission form back. All food packs are provided by the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank.
