This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and today, First Presbyterian Church generously provided snack and charcuterie boxes from Texas Eats & Sweets for all VISD teachers. We have some amazing teachers, and we are truly grateful for the support and kindness shown to them by our community.
We enjoyed hosting the Vernon Chamber of Commerce Wake Up Vernon event today at the Vernon High School Media Center. Thanks to all of those who braved the wet weather and joined us. An extra-special thank you Mrs. Audrey Hastings and the students in her culinary arts class who made sausage balls and muffins for the event. They were a HUGE hit!!
Wilbarger General Hospital and the WGH Medical Group are once again ready to provide our VISD athletes with free sports physicals for the 2025-26 school year. If your child will be in the 7th, 9th or 11th grade next year and plan on participating in sports, they MUST have a new sports physical before they will be allowed to practice. Also, regardless of grade, if your child sustained an injury this year that forced them to miss a game, they will also need to take a sports physical. Paperwork has been handed out to students. If it didn't make it home, please contact a coach at your school.
Vernon High School has scheduled two opportunities for parents to attend the annual Title 1 Meeting. The first opportunity will be at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday in the VHS Conference Room, and the second opportunity will be at 10 a.m., Tuesday, May 13, in the VHS Conference Room.
At the meeting school administrators will inform parents about the school's participation in the federal Title 1 program, explaining the requirements of the program and the parents' rights and opportunities for involvement in their child's education.
