Founded in 1914, Venus Independent School District has a storied tradition of providing excellence in education. Located just 25 miles south of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Venus ISD serves over 2,300 students and offers a unique blend of local values and metropolitan accessibility.

Originally a rural farming area, Venus is now experiencing rapid growth. This evolution is mirrored in Venus ISD’s continuous advancement and commitment to educational excellence. Our district offers students a nurturing and innovative environment, equipping them with the tools to access and engage with the wider world while cherishing community roots.

Venus ISD enjoys the best of both worlds—it is secluded enough to retain its close-knit community feel yet conveniently close to all the cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities. Our mission is to maintain our treasured local values while expanding educational opportunities, ensuring our students are well-prepared for the future.

Venus Independent School District - Excellence Grows Here!


Welcome to Bulldog Country!

Venus ISD has called a bond election for $76m to be on the May 3, 2025, ballot to design and construct Phase 1 of a new high school.

A recommendation was made to the VISD Board of Trustees by the Venus Bond Committee after months of study and research. After the recommendation, the Board of Trustees voted to call for a bond election.

Bond Election - May 3rd, 2025

As we gear up for a new semester of learning and growth, I wanted to take a moment to address the current weather forecast. It appears that we may be experiencing some inclement weather in the coming days. Our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and staff, so please take note of the following reminders:

1.  Stay Informed: Keep an eye out for notifications from our school's communication platform, ParentSquare. You may also receive information via our school's website, official social media channels, and local news for updates regarding any potential school closures or schedule changes.  Visit [https://www.venusisd.​net/en-us/communicationsdept](https://www.venusisd.net/en-us/communicationsdept) ​to find our official school social media channels and how to sign up for ParentSquare.
2.  Dress Appropriately: With colder temperatures, please ensure your children are dressed warmly in appropriate winter attire including coats, hats, and gloves, especially for their morning and afternoon bus routes.
3.  Transportation: If there are any changes to bus routes or transportation schedules, we will communicate these as promptly as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate upcoming weather challenges.
4.  Stay Safe: Encourage your children to take extra precautions when traveling to and from school. Slippery sidewalks and roads can pose a hazard, so remind them to walk carefully and stay aware of their surroundings.
5.  Understanding School Closures:  Deciding to cancel school involves careful consideration of multiple factors. Please take a moment to review the letter below to gain insight into this intricate decision-making process.
