Vernon ISD officials have decided to close school today as weather conditions have deteriorated . We will also have a 2-hour delayed started on Friday.
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.
Our Vernon ISD students return to the classrooms tomorrow as we get the 2025 Spring Semester underway!! Here is the VISD Cafeteria Menu for January. Please remember all VISD students are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch daily.
Stay WEATHER AWARE!!
With the potential for winter weather coming into our area late Wednesday, our district administration is actively monitoring conditions closely to keep our students and staff safe. A decision regarding delays or closures will be communicated as soon as the decision is made.

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!
Vernon ISD wishes all of our district family, our students and their families, our friends and neighbors, and community a Happy New Year!!! Let's all strive to be our best in 2025!!
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!!
