Mission:

The overall mission of the Vernon Township Public Schools is the attainment of learning for all students.

That mission is and will continue to be accomplished:

• By a supportive, professional and highly skilled staff;
• In a student-centered environment that encourages building students’ self-esteem;
• By providing a strong academic, remedial and enrichment program as well as a variety of experiences and activities beyond the classroom;
• Through the development of students’ citizenship, responsibility and independence and respect for achieving their academic potential.

About Us:

The Vernon Township Public Schools recognize that rapid societal changes have impacted upon the traditional school and its approach to instruction and discipline. One constant factor in the midst of society’s changes has been the district’s goal of providing a pleasant, safe and challenging learning environment for every Vernon Township student. The home and school have a shared responsibility in achieving this goal.

Every school district has the right and responsibility to establish standards for acceptable student behavior within the school setting, and every student has the potential for choosing appropriate behavior and for becoming a responsible citizen of his/her school community regardless of background or current level of ability. To assist students and parents, we list below this district’s behavioral expectations for all students in grades K-12.
