Vienna Public School District #55 is now taking bids for the 2026 mowing season. Interested persons can request a bid sheet by contacting Vienna Grade School (618-658-8286) or emailing Superintendent Greg Frehner (gfrehner@viennagradeschool.com). 2026 mowing season bids will be accepted until the end of the business day on Friday, March 13th, 2026.

Vienna Grade School and all Johnson County Schools will be back in session tomorrow, Monday, February 2nd, 2026. VGS and VHS buses will run their regular bus routes, however, there may be student pick-up and drop-off locations that are still not safe for bus travel. We ask that parents/guardians of VGS and VHS students who ride a VGS bus be prepared for possible later morning pick-ups as buses slow down to safely navigate some of the county's rural roadways. Bus drivers may be contacting parents/guardians to communicate the need to request a safer pick-up and drop-off point for February 2nd, 2026. IF your student is not picked up on a regular bus route on the morning of February 2nd, 2026, please contact Vienna Grade School at 618-658-8286 so that Vienna Grade School can make arrangements for a safe student pick-up for our return to school. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance regarding the return to school at VGS on Monday, February 2nd, 2026.
