Our Vernfield Spirit's Fun Run fundraiser will be kicking off in just a few weeks! We are on a quest to raise $18,000 for school events and supplies including reduced-cost field trips, playground maintenance, and classroom upgrades.

Join us for 2 weeks of fundraising and fun! The Fun Run campaign, powered by Booster, promotes fitness, teamwork, and character-building while also helping our school raise some much-needed funds! More information can be found in the accompanying flyer.

2024-2025 Vernfield’s HSA School Directory

The school directory is created by the Home and School Association to assist with contact between parents and families for things such as planning play dates between children, birthday parties, etc. The school directory is not used by the school or school district for purposes of official school communication. Updating or changing your information in the school directory does not update or change the information that the school uses for purposes of official school communication. Vernfield Elementary School does not provide any information for use in the school directory. Information included in the school directory is provided solely and voluntarily at the discretion of the parents/guardians.

*The school directory may not be used for purposes of soliciting business or any other non-school-related activities.
