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.
