GET READY, TIGERS!
2026–2027 School Year | Versailles Middle School
The countdown is ON! We are getting ready to welcome our Tigers back to Versailles Middle School, and we can't wait to see our hallways filled with students again!
Our 2026–2027 theme is:
ALL IN, ALL GOLD!
Being All Gold isn't about being perfect. It's about showing character, perseverance, respect, and pride in everything we do. This year, we are challenging every student to be ALL IN—in their learning, their relationships, their effort, and their VMS experience.

CHROMEBOOK REMINDERS
Technology is an important part of learning at VMS!
Incoming 6th graders and new students will receive a Chromebook, charger, case, and ID card. Students are responsible for taking care of these items throughout their time at VMS.
Bring your charged Chromebook to school every day.
Keep your Chromebook in its case.
Use your Chromebook as a learning tool.
Only the district Technology Department should repair school-issued devices.
Students may check out a loaner Chromebook from the library up to three times per semester if they forget their device or while their assigned device is being repaired.
Important: Replacement costs may apply for lost or damaged equipment, including a $25 charger and $30 case.
Each week, VMS will participate in Low Tech/No Tech Tuesdays, where we limit the use of technology for students where we can during the school day.
PERSONAL DEVICES
Cell phones and other personal electronic devices are not permitted for unauthorized use during the regular school day. Once the students enter the building, they are not allowed to use their personal devices. Once they are out of the building at the end of the day, they may use their personal devices.
Let's keep our focus where it belongs—learning, relationships, and being ALL IN! 🐯
A FEW VMS SUCCESS TIPS
✨ Be on time. Students are expected to be in their seats and ready to learn when the tardy bell rings.
✨ Check Google Classroom/Infinite Campus every day. Tiger Time is a great opportunity to check assignments and due dates.
✨ Take responsibility for your learning. Grades are updated weekly and can be viewed through Infinite Campus.
✨ Get involved! VMS offers athletics, clubs, performing arts, archery, student council, FFA, Art Club, FCA, and more.
✨ Ask for help! Our teachers, office staff, counselor, nurse, and administrators are here to help students have a successful year.
✨ Stay connected! Families are encouraged to use ParentSquare for school updates, messages, alerts, calendar events, and important information.
IMPORTANT: COMPLETE ENROLLMENT
Before school begins, please make sure your student is fully enrolled and that you have submitted an approved proof of residency as part of the registration process. The office has or will contact you if your student is on hold for missing or incomplete information. This must be resolved before the first day of school.
Don't wait until the first day—take care of enrollment requirements now so your Tiger is ready to start the year!
MOST IMPORTANTLY...
We are excited to welcome every Tiger back to VMS!
This year, let's commit to being:
ALL IN on learning.
ALL IN on effort.
ALL IN on respect.
ALL IN on relationships.
ALL IN on being a great Tiger.
Because at VMS, ALL IN. ALL GOLD. Every Student. Every Day.
Let's make 2026–2027 our GOLDEN year!
