Physical Science students created flowcharts for naming chemical compounds, then rotated to add and refine each group’s work. We wrapped by identifying what makes a strong, clear scientific flowchart. @ValleyParkHS

Had a great weekend watching @ValleyParkSD alumni chase their dreams! Proud of @WillGeary10 @egeary8 @katiemann05 they are an incredible group of student athletes & leaders.

So proud to watch our student leaders in action at Sunshine for a Senior They don’t just show up—they make people feel seen, valued, and remembered. That’s real leadership. Check out our Leadership Program page to see their impact! @VPHawksAD @ValleyParkSD

Sunshine for a Senior

Sometimes it’s the small moments that mean the most. Our second annual Sunshine for a Senior was filled with smiles, conversations, and creating bouquets alongside incredible residents. Getting to see familiar faces from last year made it even more special

Students brought atomic structure to life today by building Bohr models using chips! Hands-on learning made energy levels, electrons, and nuclei way more tangible and a lot more fun. #PhysicalScience #STEM #HandsOnLearning @ValleyParkHS

Turned Piles Vocab activity into a pretest/data collection moment
Grouped students by prior life science experience & had them sort terms into:
✔️ Confident
🤔 Maybe
❓ No idea
Great way to kick off the unit—& now I’ve got real data to drive instruction! @ValleyParkHS

[Gerrie Robards @RobardsVPHS]

Kicking off our cellular division unit in BIO II w/Pile of Words. Ss categorized vocab, defended their reasoning, rotated as experts & learners, & revised their thinking after peer discussions. No single “right” answer just meaningful connections. @ValleyParkHS

This is what practicing leadership looks like.Kindness doesn’t just happen. It’s a skill we have to intentionally practice, just like anything else we want to get better at. So proud of our students for noticing others, speaking life into their classmates,&choosing to leadw/heart

[Valley Park Leadership Program @vphsleadership]

Leadership isn’t just leading—it’s noticing. Today our leadership students took time to reflect on their classmates, share genuine compliments, and spread kindness in honor of Valentine’s Day. ‘

Nothing like actively engaging a group of seniors on a cold day before 8am.
Learning + movement = wins #Bio2 #ActiveLearning #ScienceClass @ValleyParkHS
