Way to go Hawks! We are super impressed with your outstanding behavior and leadership.

In order to ensure safety on campus, all students need to be dropped of on the west side of campus, near the softball field. This will keep cars and busses in separate areas of campus and allow for a quick and safe drop off for all. Please follow all signs and traffic directions.

If you need to enter the building and the main lot is still closed, please park in the lot near the softball field and walk to the main entrance. We can buzz you in there.

If your student is interested in playing a sport at VPMS this fall, please follow the link below and fill out the form. All students are encouraged to participate regardless of skill level or experience.

This year, we have moved to a single login access to online resources for students and staff. Valley Park is excited to be using ClassLink to house all district approved online resources for our students. ClassLInk securely allows our learners to have single sign on access to online resources. Secondary students have access to this from their school issued device and use their Google credentials to login.

If a student needs access to their online resources from a non-school issued device they would go to: https://launchpad.classlink.com/vpschools. Click "Log in with Google" and use VP Google credentials (email address and password).

Valley Park Middle School houses a wonderful community resource! The Care Closet houses clothes and shoes in all sizes for families in need. If you or someone you know has a need that could be filled through the Care Closet, please fill out THIS FORM.

Our new librarian, Ms. Louder, has been busy sprucing up the library! There are a LOT of online resources available for students. Check out the website!

Valley Park School District is committed to supporting all students' wellness and social-emotional learning. One way we monitor this is through the SAEBRS and mySAEBRS tools, which are completed by teachers and students to rate the social-emotional well-being of students.
