🥫💙🧡 Hawks Helping Our Community!

Three Valley Park High School student organizations are joining forces to make a difference!

HOSA, FCCLA, and FBLA are teaming up to host a food drive benefiting Circle of Concern from November 2–12!

We invite our entire Valley Park community to help support local families in need by donating nonperishable food items. Collection boxes will be located throughout campus.

Every donation makes a difference, and together, our Hawks can make a big impact! 🧡

💙🧡 Celebrating Excellence in Education! 🧡💙

Last night, Valley Park Middle School teacher Sarah Newton was celebrated in Columbia, Missouri, as a finalist for the 2027 Missouri Teacher of the Year award!

Being named one of Missouri's top educators is an incredible honor and a reflection of Sarah's dedication, passion and commitment to her students.

Sarah represents the very best of Valley Park, inspiring students, building meaningful relationships and making a difference in the classroom every day.

We couldn't be prouder to have Sarah representing our Hawks and the entire Valley Park School District!

Congratulations, Sarah! Your Valley Park family is so proud of you!

💙🧡 Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 🧡💙 Today, we celebrate our amazing occupational therapist, Michelle Britton, who help students build confidence, develop essential skills and become more independent! From strengthening fine motor skills to helping students navigate everyday activities, Michelle makes a difference in the lives of our Hawks every day.

💙🧡 Learning Happens Every Day! 🦅

Every school day brings something new! From classroom discussions and hands-on activities to working with classmates, learning happens in ways that can't always be made up.

When students miss school, they miss more than assignments. They miss valuable opportunities to learn, connect and grow.

Let's make every day count, Hawks! 💙🧡

DID YOU KNOW? 💙🧡 For many students, their bus driver is one of the first friendly faces they see each morning and one of the last they see each afternoon! Our bus drivers do more than transport students. They help create a safe, welcoming start and finish to the school day. Thank you to our bus drivers for the important role you play in our Valley Park community! #VPPride

DID YOU KNOW? 📚 Reliable school transportation helps remove barriers to getting to school, giving students a consistent way to arrive ready to learn. Every school day matters, and our buses play an important role in helping students be present! #VPPride

This is a reminder that there is no school on 10/23/26 for students in grades PK-12. Additionally, all district offices are closed. We look forward to seeing you on 10/26/26. #VPPride

DID YOU KNOW? 🌎 When more students ride the bus instead of traveling in separate family vehicles, it can reduce overall fuel consumption and emissions. One bus carrying many students means fewer individual trips to and from school! #VPPride

🧡 UNITED FOR KINDNESS! 🧡 Today, Valley Park School District joins schools across the country in celebrating Unity Day! We're wearing orange and standing together for kindness, acceptance and inclusion. Every student deserves to feel safe, valued and like they belong. Together, we can make a difference, one act of kindness at a time! 🧡💙 #UnityDay #VPPride #KindnessMatters

🎙️ WE'RE BACK! Season 4 of Voices is HERE! 💙🧡

We're kicking off Season 4 of Voices, the Valley Park School District podcast, with a conversation about our Portrait of a Graduate!

Join Superintendent Dr. Tim Dilg as he sits down with Mr. Rick Neal and VPHS student Joy Irishura '27 to discuss what it means to be a Valley Park graduate, the skills and experiences that prepare students for life beyond the classroom and why our community's voice matters in shaping that vision.

DID YOU KNOW? 🚗 One school bus can take dozens of cars off the road during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup!
Fewer cars around schools can mean less congestion, smoother traffic flow and safer arrival and dismissal times. #VPPride
