Today, I sat in on the ACT prep sessions with all VHS 11th graders that we arranged. I am very proud of the effort and attentiveness of our kids as they learned quite a bit about the needed approach to being successful on the ACT test. The district paid for each 11th grader to have access to this opportunity and will follow this up with paying for each and every 11th grader at VHS to take the ACT on campus in a few weeks. Districts often say that they have high expectations for each student, yet will stumble when asked for proof. This is just one demonstration of our proof. ALL really does mean ALL in V.I.S.D. and I am loving it.

🩺A NOTE FROM OUR NURSE🩺
Today I was informed that Vernon College now requires the Men B vaccine as a requirement for entry into college. I am going to assume that other colleges may have the same requirement, so please look into it if you are applying to college. The health department has notified me that they can only give the Men B vaccine that they currently have in stock to kids aged 16-18. Unfortunately, if they are 19, they can not receive the vaccine for free at the health department.
It is suggested that any student that is considering admission to college should go ahead and receive the Men B series before they turn 18. They are also still required to have the 2nd dose of MCV, but they will now need the Men B also.
If you have any questions, please contact our nurse, Jennifer Walker, at 940-552-6231, ext. 3, or via email at jennifer.walker@visdtx.org.
