January is School Board Recognition Month and our Vernon ISD trustees found gifts from the district and each campus waiting for them at their regular monthly business meeting held Monday evening. Vernon ISD would like to thank our trustees for caring about our district, and for wanting nothing but the best for our students, teachers and all of our staff. VISD trustees include Carrie Hawkins, Patrick Parmer, Chris Lehman, Emory Byars, Jarrod David, Bryson Henry, and Amanda Lehman, who left the meeting before the photo was taken to attend a school activity her daughter was participating in.

VISD is currently taking nominations for the Gifted & Talented Program. If parents would like more information on the GT Program, two meetings are scheduled for today: 1 p.m., at the VISD Administration Building Boardroom; and 6 p.m., in the Media Center at Vernon High School.

Everyone is getting back into the school routine this week as we head full steam into the Spring Semester, and with it being the middle of the flu season, Vernon ISD would like to remind parents and guardians of the documentation the district needs to receive when students are absent from school.
