Vernon Public Schools 2026–27 district calendar
Vernon publishes a separate 2026–2027 District Calendar that was approved by the Board of Education on January 12, 2026. That calendar—not the monthly Board meeting calendar—is the correct place to confirm instructional days, vacations, professional-development days, half-days and the end of the school year.
School-year calendar
Use the district calendar for student attendance days, holidays, recess periods and districtwide calendar changes.
Board calendar
Use the Board calendar only for Board of Education meetings. It is a separate governance schedule.
School events
Individual schools maintain event calendars for athletics, family nights, performances, activities and school-specific programs.
Snow-day planning: Connecticut weather can affect instructional dates. Before booking travel around the final day of school or spring recess, recheck the live district calendar and current announcements.

How to register a student in Vernon Public Schools
The district says the first registration step is the K–12 online application. Its current procedure also says registration documents must be submitted in person at the Central Registration Office at 30 Park Street, with appointments available through the registration office.
Complete the online application
Start with the official Vernon K–12 Online Registration route.
Prepare the student’s long-form birth certificate
The district lists this as a standard registration document.
Prepare health records
Bring the most recent physical exam and immunization record. Vernon notes that Connecticut requires annual physicals and that the exam must still be valid.
Bring parent or guardian ID
A passport or driver’s license is listed as an acceptable photo-ID example.
Prepare two proofs of residency
Vernon asks for two recent residency documents carrying the guardian’s name and address, with acceptable examples listed on the registration page.
Registration appointment
Call 860-896-4688 when you need an appointment or document-submission help.
Document fax
The district lists 860-870-6721 for registration-document faxing where applicable.
Housing instability: Vernon explicitly states that children experiencing homelessness or displacement have enrollment protections even when a family cannot produce the usual documentation. Ask Central Registration or the Family School and Community Partnership Center for help rather than delaying enrollment.

Vernon Public Schools transportation and 2026–27 bus routes
The Transportation page provides a bus-stop lookup and 2026–27 morning and afternoon routes by school. Students assigned to mini buses may not appear in the public route lists, so the transportation office should be contacted if a student’s information is missing.
Online bus-stop lookup
The district links to First Student’s Vernon lookup service for bus-stop information.
2026–27 route sheets
AM and PM routes are posted separately for district schools. Use the current school-year route, not a saved prior-year copy.
Mini-bus assignment: Vernon warns that students assigned to mini buses may not appear in the posted route tables. Contact Transportation if your child’s information is not shown.
Parent and student links families commonly need
Vernon’s Student/Parent Links page keeps several commonly used systems together, reducing the risk of signing into the wrong portal found through search results.
ASPEN
Use the official district Student/Parent Links page to reach supported student-information resources.
ParentSquare
Vernon schools use ParentSquare for school and family communication, announcements and classroom information.
Menus & MySchoolBucks
The district family page links lunch menus and MySchoolBucks alongside other parent services.
Account privacy: use official Vernon links for ASPEN, ParentSquare and school-payment systems. Do not enter student passwords or family account details into an unofficial directory.
