Vernon Community,
Vernon ISD put the finishing touches on what I would call a great convocation last week, and I led off that ceremony with the statement “there is no greater time in my career than now to be a teacher.” The world is still lacking in the respect that needs to be demonstrated to teachers and the job that they do; however, it is comforting and a step in the right direction when the Legislature determines it is time for the teachers to be awarded a raise.....

Last week was the first week of school, and our science classes were already conducting lab experiments and the students were having fun. Other departments hit the ground running last week as well, as we kicked off the 2025-26 school year. Great job teachers and students. We're keeping our expectations HIGH this year!!
Vernon ISD is looking for parents to be a part of our School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). Better health leads to higher grades, and when you participate your child is more successful! The council meets four times a year. For more information check out the flyer below.
Vernon ISD is kicking off year two of our Dudes on Duty volunteer program — and we need your help to spread the word!
We’re looking for dads, husbands, grandfathers, uncles, church friends, and other positive male role models to spend time with our students during morning drop-off and lunch/recess. Just showing up, engaging with students, and offering a friendly presence can make a huge difference in creating a safe and welcoming environment.
All campuses are participating — and whether or not they have kids in our district, all men are welcome — however, they must be an APPROVED VOLUNTEER!
📝 VISD Volunteer application found here: https://bit.ly/VISDVolunteerApplication
✅ If you know of an already approved volunteer, here are the links for each campus with available dates and areas to serve:

Let’s work together to connect the men in our lives with the kids who need them most! ❤️🦁
We had a packed house at VMS last night as students picked up their class schedules, and both parents and students found their classrooms and met their teachers for the 2025-26 school year.
Here is the August activities calendar for VMS.
VISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward started the first day of school at Vernon Middle School greeting students as they stepped off the bus. Dr. Ward planned on stopping by each campus today as VISD begins its 2025-26 school year.
We have some wonderful PTOs at our campuses. Children do better in school when they see their parents involved and interested in what they are doing.
