District says this year is all about building on last year’s changes, while adding a few new ones
LA VERNIA, Texas – Students in the La Vernia Independent School District are back for another year of school. Doors have opened for La Vernia Primary School as students get ready for another year of four-day school weeks.
The school year will look like this:
