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! This Friday will be our new teacher orientation and we are super excited to welcome our new staff to Vega ISD. Next week all of our staff will return for a full week of in-service training and time to get classrooms ready for our students!
As you have seen on our Facebook page, one of the changes for this school year came out of the most recent legislative session. HB 1481 is the new law prohibiting students from using personal communication devices during the school day, which includes lunchtime and passing periods. These devices include but are not limited to cell phones and Apple watches and should be turned off and kept in backpacks before entering the building.
Please mark your calendar for Wednesday 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 Tuesday, August 12th. School will begin at 7:40 AM and will be dismissed at 3:54 PM. This will be the first 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 1st and Columbus Day on October 13th). 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 24th. A copy of the 2025-26 school calendar is on the district’s webpage.
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
