Welcome to the Verndale School Website!

We are very excited about our website; please feel free to browse awhile.  Our staff and faculty have been hard at work to get this website up and running, please check back often in the coming weeks as pages will be created and updated regularly. 

In our website you will find a classroom website for each teacher including a contact form for easy communication, lesson plans, useful links, and lots of extras!  Other great pages include Athletics, Clubs and Groups, Student Recognition, and Community Education.

It is our goal to create a website which will be a great resource for parents and students.  If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas for our new website please complete the Website Communication Form.

From the Counselors' office:

As we enter into this new year, there is a subject matter worth mentioning to the parents of our Verndale Students.

The counseling office would like to mention a few things about CYBERBULLYING.

A reminder to parents regarding FACEBOOK that your son or daughter might be using at home. Mind you, there is nothing wrong with FACEBOOK if used with the proper intention. We have learned some information regarding the use of FACEBOOK with the intention to hurt and bully other students.

Here are a few tips that parents can use to make sure their son or daughter is not abusing this site:

CYBERBULLYING: Is when a child, preteen, or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen, or teen using the Internet.

PARENTS: Become involved with your child's cyberspace. Sit at the computer and have them teach you how they use the internet. Ask them to take you places they frequently visit and show you what they do. 

There are three types of sites children commonly utilize: 
1. Instant messaging {e.g. Yahoo, AOL, IM and Messenger 
2. Social Networking sites {e.g. Face Book and MySpace} 
3. Video Posting {e.g. You Tube, AOL Video}

* Make certain they have never and will never share their passwords with anyone, even a friend. Explain the risk of someone impersonating them and ruining their reputation.

For more information on CYBERBULLYING contact the couseling office and ask for Tom Nelson, I have handouts I can give to you that further explain computer generated social activities such as the ones I've mentioned.
