Vernon ISD will be operating on a 2-hour delay start today due to the weather. We will continue to monitor the radar and weather conditions.
UPDATE -- Due to the weather models constantly changing, our VISD Administration team believes there is currently not enough concrete information to make a decision on whether or not have school on Thursday. Officials also believe there will not be enough information to make that decision tonight. District officials will make a decision early Thursday morning on whether we will have a regular school day, a late start, or close for the day. District officials will be up early and checking roads if necessary. As soon as a decision is made, we will announce it on our Facebook pages, through texts and we will let the TV stations know.
Due to the inclement weather the area is expecting tomorrow, the VMS basketball games with Jacksboro Junior High have been cancelled. The boys were scheduled to travel to Jacksboro, while the girls were scheduled to host their Jacksboro counterparts.
Our Lions will be traveling to Bowie tonight for a District 7-3A battle with the Jackrabbits. Both teams are still searching for their first district wins of the season and both teams are coming off tough OT losses. Vernon fell to Henrietta in 2OT last Friday, while Bowie fell to Holliday in OT. A victory tonight would put the Lions right back in the playoff hunt!! Good luck Lions!!! Go skin the Jackrabbits!!!
It's Game Day for our Lady Lions as they hit the road to Bowie to square off against the Lady Rabbits in District 7-3A action. The Lady Lions are currently in 2nd place in the district, and a victory tonight would keep them in sole possession of 2nd. Good luck Lady Lions!!! Go trap the Lady Rabbits!!

Our student attendance rate for the Fall Semester was very good and we thank all of our parents for making a concerted effort to get their child/children to school. But, VISD always strives to do better! So we have a great incentive for the 4th Six Weeks of school, which begins Wednesday. At the end of the six weeks we will give away one META QUEST 3 virtual reality headset per GRADE!! Each week a student has perfect attendance, their name goes in a drawing for the META QUEST 3. So if student has perfect attendance for the entire six weeks, their name will be in the drawing 7 times (there are 7 weeks in this six weeks). Students keep up the good work and earn more chances to be rewarded with a great prize!

For the semester final, seniors in Forensics created crime scenes using gingerbread houses. The students had to write a backstory with a clear motive and then connect at least 5 specific pieces of evidence to the story. It was a great project to wrap up the Fall Semester and head into the Christmas Break.
From Vernon ISD to all of our staff family, all of of our students and their families, and to the Vernon community and all of our neighbors and friends, we hope you have a very, very Merry Christmas!!
