Dear Vernon Families,

There will be No School Tomorrow - Tuesday, January 27th for all Vernon Schools.  The health & safety of our students and staff is our top priority.  The Vernon DPW has done an amazing job with our roads.  With over 19 inches of snow, the secondary roads, parking lots, bus stops, sidewalks, etc. need to be safe for all our children.  Thank you for your continued support.  Please be safe if you are traveling on the roadways.

Thank you to everyone that came out to our 2 Math and Literacy Nights! We had around 70 people on Tuesday and around 160 on Thursday! A big shout out to Mrs. Rhoades for organizing and to all of our amazing staff members that helped out!

🍽️ Lunch Feature Today!

Chef Tom and the kitchen team served chana masala and chicken tikka masala with curried sweet potatoes, after successfully sampling these dishes last month at Vernon Center Middle School.

Both dishes share the same flavorful sauce—chana masala is vegetarian-friendly and made with chickpeas, while chicken tikka masala is made with chicken. We’re excited to bring student-approved meals to more of our schools!
