Counselor's Corner - September Edition
This month, we’re focusing on student success—both in and out of the classroom—by encouraging strong study habits, better organization, and a positive, supportive school community.
💡 Tip for Parents: Ask your student how they practiced one study habit, one organization skill, and one act of kindness this week. These small check-ins help build lasting habits that stick!
Together, we’re creating a Vandal community where every student can grow, achieve, and thrive. ❤️🤍

🚨📱 New Cell Phone Law for Texas Students 📱🚨
A new state law will impact student cell phone use starting in the 2025–2026 school year.
Texas House Bill 1481, signed by Governor Greg Abbott on June 20, 2025, includes the following:
⭐ Students may not use cell phones inside school buildings during instructional hours.
⭐ All Texas public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools must adopt and enforce policies to comply.
Van ISD is currently reviewing our district policies to meet these new requirements. More details will be shared before the start of the school year so our families can prepare.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to provide the best possible learning environment for our students! ❤
