Dear Vega ISD Community: 

We are so excited to have our staff come back to school as everyone is getting ready for our students to return! 

Monday, August 3rd will be our new teacher orientation and we are super excited to welcome our new staff to Vega ISD. 

Next Tuesday, August 4th all of our staff will return for in-service training and time to get classrooms ready for our students!

Please mark your calendar for Thursday, August 6th at 5 PM for the annual Title 1/GT Parent Meeting in the auditorium followed at 5:30 PM for the Meet the Teacher night.  

As a reminder, the first day of classes for the upcoming school year will be Wednesday, August 12th.  School will begin at 7:40 AM and will be dismissed at 3:54 PM. This will be our second year of the hybrid schedule.  The first nine weeks of the school year will be five day weeks (with holidays on the Federal holidays of Labor Day on September 7th and Columbus Day on October 12th). The fourth week in October will mark the beginning of the four day weeks on the hybrid calendar as the district will be closed on Friday, October 23rd.  A copy of the 2026-27 school calendar is on the district’s webpage. 

School supply lists are available on the district’s website under “student resources” and have been posted on the district’s Facebook page.  All families will need to complete online student registration and information on completing this can be found on the district’s website as well.

You may have noticed the facilities repair construction work that has been happening this summer.  While the contractors are nearing completion, the student parking lot on the north side of the high school will not be available until later in August - most likely not until the final week of August - as the contractors are finishing the work on replacing the entire sewer line and subsequent parking lot repairs from the high school bond project.  We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause but we are very excited that the construction defects from the original sewer line installation will be corrected, including the sinkhole that had been in the student parking lot.  The high school campus will send out more information about temporary parking choices as the start of school gets closer and we have more updated information. 

Parents will also note that the district is relocating student transportation services (buses and vans) to the renovated bus barn (the former elementary gym) in the front of the school building.  In order to promote student safety for the district’s transportation services, the subsequent parking lot in front of the renovated bus barn will not be open for parent traffic or parking.  THis is where students will get on and get off of the buses and vans.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but we are very happy to have a structure to protect the district’s vehicle fleet from the elements and extend the lifetime of our buses and vans. 

Vega ISD is now accepting transfer applications for next school year. If you know of any families who would be interested in attending an A-Rated school district, please have them visit our website and reach out to our campuses. When you visit the district’s website, it opens up to the transfer landing page where you will find more information about Vega ISD along with the transfer application. Please note that to be eligible to be accepted as a transfer student to Vega ISD, all students must be in good standing with their current school district, have good attendance, and have no discipline issues.

Thank you,

Jerry Adams

Superintendent, Vega ISD
