Read through the newsletter for updates on student progress each week. Don't forget to add important dates to your family calendars so you do not miss out on any upcoming performances of students. 

4th hour- 8-12th grade combined Concert Band

4th hour students did a great job at the Fall Pep Assembly!  8th graders have really stepped up this year to learn 4 new pep band pieces in a short period of time!  We will now shift our focus to learning music for our Hero's Day Performance. 

Students have had a playing assignment over Ghostbusters due Thursday, Sept 24th, a playing assignment over the Fight Song due on Tuesday, Sept 29th, and Paint it Black due Wednesday, Oct 7th. 

7th hour- 7th Grade Band

7th Grade students worked on small chamber ensemble groups. They were assigned a group and were tasked with choosing a leader to count the group off and choose which parts to play in a 3 part song. The students then performed their pieces for the class. 

Parent Directions for Parent/teacher Conferences Sign-Up: High School

VPHS Families,

Our fall Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, from 3:30–8:00 PM. We look forward to the opportunity to connect with our families, celebrate student successes, discuss academic progress, and work together to support our students.

This year, we are trying a new approach to scheduling conferences that will allow families to sign up directly with the teachers they would like to meet with.

How to Schedule Your Conferences:

1. Click the link below to access our Parent/Teacher Conference Teacher Directory.

2. Find the teacher you would like to meet with and click on their name. This will open that teacher's individual conference sign-up document.

3. Select an available 10-minute time slot and enter your student's name and your name in the appropriate spaces.

4. Repeat the process for any additional teachers you would like to meet with. Please allow enough time between appointments to travel to different classrooms.

5. Please do not change or delete any other family's information when signing up.

Conference Options:

• In-Person Conferences: Wednesday, October 21, from 3:30–8:00 PM at Valley Park High School.

• Virtual Conferences: Wednesday, October 21, from 8:00–9:00 PM. Families interested in a virtual conference should email the teacher directly to schedule an appointment.

The teacher directory also includes classroom locations to help families find their way around the building.

Since this is our first time using this sign-up process, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through any challenges. If you experience difficulty scheduling a conference, please reach out to the teacher directly for assistance.

We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with our teachers. Strong communication and partnerships between school and home play an important role in student success.

Thank you for your continued support of Valley Park High School. We look forward to seeing you on October 21!
