🎉 Congratulations to the Verona High School Speech & Debate Team! 🎉

We are incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding performance at the Monett Priscilla Bradford Speech and Debate Tournament! This was Verona’s first time ever competing in a Speech and Debate event, and our team rose to the occasion with confidence, courage, and impressive skill.

Each student stepped up to compete alongside experienced participants from schools of all sizes across the area, and they represented Verona with determination, grit, grace, and heart. Their commitment to learning something new and taking on a challenge speaks volumes about their character and their bright future ahead.

Please join us in celebrating their hard work, resilience, and success. Way to go, Wildcats! 🐾

❄️ Verona R-VII Winter Weather Cancellation Procedures ❄️

As the winter weather months approach, the Verona R-VII School District wants to ensure our families, staff, and community are informed and prepared for possible school closures or early dismissals.

How We Decide
The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. District administrators closely monitor weather forecasts, road conditions, and guidance from local officials. When inclement weather makes it unsafe to operate buses or conduct school safely, a decision will be made to cancel school or adjust the school day. Every effort is made to make thoughtful, timely decisions with safety at the forefront.

What to Expect
❄️Closure Announcements: School closure decisions will typically be made the night before or by 6:00 AM.
❄️Early Dismissals: If conditions change during the day, notifications will be sent as soon as a decision is made.
❄️The district will use a combination of AMI days and built-in snow days to ensure we meet the instructional hour requirements outlined in our master calendar.

How We Communicate
Once a decision is made, families will be notified through multiple channels:
📞 Phone Calls & Text Alerts
Please ensure your contact information is up to date in Alma. To make updates, contact your building office.
📺 Local Media
Local news stations will also be notified.
🌐 Website & Social Media
Visit our website and follow us on social media for the latest updates:
❄️Website: www.veronar7.net
❄️Facebook: Verona R-7
❄️Instagram: VeronaR7Wildcats
❄️X: Verona R-VII Schools
❄️App: Verona R-7 School District

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to keep our students, staff, and families safe throughout the winter months. ❄️

❄️ Who can contain the excitement of 4th graders when the first few snowflakes of the season fall? Not us! Experiencing the magic of the season through the eyes of a child never gets old. ❄️ 4th grade really enjoyed a couple of minutes outside to study snowflake patterns!
