Parents, Vernon ISD likes to hear from you and values your input. Please take a moment to complete our parent survey. We do this survey every year, and survey results from previous years have played a part in the district altering various processes and procedures. Please follow this link https://forms.gle/43AqPYJqYvvhu1fp7 to complete the survey. The deadline to complete the survey is Friday.
