In case you missed it, this is Homecoming Week for VISD and here are the dress up themes, as each day of the week is Lion Spirit Day!!

A few of our students enjoyed dressing as if they were living in another decade last Friday. "Decades Day" was the theme for Lion Spirit Friday.


Here is VISD Social Worker Nicole Cameron's newsletter for October.

Our Book Fair has been going on this week and today we held a hamburger feed for our students and parents. During lunch students and parents were able to shop and purchase books at the Book Fair.








Today, Oct. 2, is National Custodian Day and we want to give a big shout out to all the members of our Vernon ISD custodial staff!! They are some of the behind-the-scene, unsung heroes who keep our district running!! We couldn't do it without them!! Thank you to each and everyone of custodians for all you do! You are greatly appreciated!!

Our Vernon homecoming is next Friday, Oct. 10, and we start pumping up that Lion spirit Monday and continue to build it all week with "Dress Up" themes for each day. Get your costumes ready for each day and show that Lion spirit!!!

Tomorrow is an Early Release Friday. We hope our students enjoy getting an early start to their weekend!!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is October 1st, but that's definitely the case. Here's our Cafeteria Menu for the month.

We named our McCord Students of the Month for September today. Receiving that special honor were: Pre-Kindergarten -- Samajae Leija; Kindergarten -- Kingston Ochoa; 1st Grade -- Bentley Carr; and Specials -- Jared Say. Congratulations guys!! Great job!!

Through the first six weeks of the school year, our student attendance has been great. We appreciate the parents for their support in having their children in the classroom.

Our Lions travel to Ponder this Friday night for a District 4-3A, D 1 battle against the Ponder Lions. Here is the link to purchase tickets: https://events.hometownticketing.com/boxoffice/ponderisd/entity/schools/2

VISD will not hold classes Tuesday, Sept. 30. It is a scheduled Parent/Teacher Conference Day.

Some of our students showed their Lions Spirit today dressing in white to go along with today's theme of "Whiteout."


Remember it is mini cheerleader night for those youngsters in kindergarten thru 5th grade who signed up for the clinic. Please be at the stadium by 6:45 tonight and gather with the cheerleaders on the east end of the track.

Vernon ISD is mailing student report cards for the 1st six weeks, and the mailing will include information the district is required to share with parents. Report cards will go in the mail today. Parents can currently view grades on Skyward.
