If you (or someone you know) is interested in sponsoring a family through our school district's Christmas Angel Tree program, we are in great need of sponsors! Please create a sponsor account via our community Angel Tree website: https://www.viloniachristmasangel.com/#!/page_register
Families/children have been released in the community database...so you should be able to select a family once you create your account. The website/database includes all students (and younger siblings) in the Vilonia School District who are in need of gifts for Christmas. Children are assigned numbers (names are not revealed).
Thank you for your support!
The Vilonia School District would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mayor Scroggin and the Vilonia City Council for their generous donation to help remodel our tennis courts!
Your continued support of our students and schools makes a lasting impact on our community. The improvements to our tennis facilities will provide a safer and more enjoyable space for our student-athletes and community members for years to come.
We’re proud to live in a city that invests in its youth and values collaboration between the city and our schools.

UNDERSTANDING THIRD GRADE PROMOTION
At Vilonia School District, we recognize the importance of reading as the foundation for our students' success. Starting at the end of the 2025-2026 school year, in line with Arkansas' Right to Read Act, third-grade students are expected to meet a specified reading standard to be promoted to fourth grade. This ensures all students receive the support they need to read proficiently by the end of third grade.
We believe strong reading skills enable achievement across all subjects. Our teachers provide high-quality instruction and targeted interventions to help every child succeed. We are committed to keeping you informed about your child's progress through assessment results and progress updates.
Families also play a crucial role in your child's reading development. Reading together at home for 20 minutes a day can have a positive impact on your child’s reading success. For more ideas of how you can support your child at home, reach out to your child’s teacher.
For additional information on the Third Grade Promotion requirements, visit the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education website.
Thank you for partnering with us to help all students become skilled readers and lifelong learners.
This week our schools are celebrating Red Ribbon Week! The 2025 National Red Ribbon Campaign's theme is "Life Is A Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free".

Congratulations to Vilonia Elementary School for receiving awards from the Office for Education Policy for Outstanding Educational Performance in the 2024-2025 school year! VES ranked in the top 20 schools in Arkansas for Overall Growth - ranking number nine out of 151 elementary schools. They also ranked in the top 10 schools in Arkanas for ELA Growth scores-ranking number two!
OEP awards focus solely on student academic growth. Unlike other indicators of school performance, academic growth is not very correlated with school demographics. This means it is reflective of what students are learning in school, not what challenges they may face due to out of school factors.
Way to go, Vilonia Elementary students, teachers, staff, & parents — your commitment, hard work, and focus on learning are truly making a difference!

SAFE STOPS. STRONGER COMMUNITIES
The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS) reports that drivers illegally pass stopped school buses more than 39 million times each year. Each violation represents more than a statistic—it is a moment when a child’s life is in danger. While we’ve seen progress with a 13% reduction in violations this past year, far too many risks remain on our roadways. While this week is National School Bus Safety Week, we want to encourage that EVERY week is focused on school bus safety!
