Our VHS cafeteria was packed last night for our Senior Parent Meeting and it was great to see all of the parents committed to being involved in their child's school life. Parents received important dates and other information on ACT/SAT/TSI, Texas College Bridge, and Project Celebration from VHS teacher Ms. Kayla Bennett, VHS counselor Mrs. Sandra Kieschnick, and Project Celebration leader Mrs. Ashley Hall. Senior parents who were unable to attend the meeting are encouraged to contact Ms. Bennett or Mrs. Hall to get the information provided at the meeting.

A pig, a chicken, a cow and a dog. No, we're not talking about the song "Old McDonald." This morning Brett White took his AP World History students on a field trip to visit all of these four animals in their habitat. The students were tasked with deciding which animal is the oldest in mankind and the one most closely related to the dinosaur, T-Rex. Most were surprised to learn the chicken shares 60% DNA with the T-Rex, while the pig is the oldest of the four animals.

The first few days of every new school year can be hectic -- especially at the high school level. Our two counselors divide the grades between them to better serve our students. This year, Carol Taylor is the counselor for the freshman and sophomore class, while Sandra Kieschnick is the counselor for the junior and senior class. If you have any questions or concerns about your student, please reach out to the appropriate counselor.

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.

We hope everyone has had a great 2 days of school. As we get back into the swing of things, please notice the two quick reminders below. Our start time is 7:45 a.m., so students arriving after 7:50 a.m. will be marked as tardy. If your child takes advantage of the free breakfast the district offers all students, please have them here a little earlier than our start time.
ALSO, our Pre-K students do not eat breakfast right when they arrive. Instead, our Pre-K classes enjoy breakfast together a bit later. This helps create a calm, relaxed atmosphere where we can give them extra help and attention.
Thank you for your help in keeping us on track and getting our days started off in the right direction.

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! ❤️🦁
