Vernon ISD has started using a new program for parents and teachers to have an extra avenue of communication. This program is called Rooms and is hosted by a company named Thrillshare. Some of our parents have already started accessing Rooms but we have a lot of questions regarding the platform. This is totally expected with anything that is new. We have created a webpage with FAQ's for parents along with some helpful videos. You can find that page here: https://bit.ly/VISDParentRooms
If you have additional questions about Rooms after looking at the webpage, please feel free to email chantilly.sweet@visdtx.org. Please include your name and the names of all of your children.

In his latest community message, Vernon ISD Supt. Dr. Kermit Ward reports the Vernon ISD tax cut could save Vernon homeowners hundreds of dollars.
"Each August brings about newfound energy and excitement amongst educators as we get kids back in our buildings. Also occurring every August is the work to set a new budget for the school year and the tax rate that will support that budget. Our CFO, Clay Montgomery has carefully and consistently worked on this over the entire summer and we realized early on that something rare and amazing was about to happen."
