Exciting mailbox morning as we prepare to meet our Cohort B freshmen and seniors! See y’all sooooon!! @VHSIB @Valley_Vikings #maskson#heartsup#mindsharp (Thanks for the notebook, @SNRPDP! ☺️ Can’t wait for the conference! 📓)
Ready for a new adventure starting tomorrow as @Valley_Vikings go #hybrid!! 🍎”Masks on, hearts up, minds sharp, let’s go!” is a motto (inspired by @Lin_Manuel’s epic 2016 *sips ☕️* tweet) I’m pumped about 😇

Reminders from Tonopaw to @Valley_Vikings class of 2022: 1) Go to sleep! It’s my bedtime, and it should be yours too. 😴 2) Eat breakfast—or as I call it, borkfast! And 3) My momu believes in you (on the ACT and ALWAYS), and she tells me how special you are no matter what. ✨🐾
WE LOVE THIS FOR FRANKIE!! 🌻 She is an example of a student who made the most of every opportunity (from coursework to leadership) truly brightens the lives of those who know her. Once a Viking, always a Viking! Very much appreciative of the shoutout too 💛
Staying silent means I accept the status quo, which I don’t—when Nevada students deserve far more funding AND far more opportunities to stay and excel in the Silver State—so here I am! 🍎✊💙 @sbilbray@SelenaTorresNV@EdgarFloresNV @GovSisolak #NVleg
"I provide the pep talks and teach them the 21st century skills, you provide the funding and long term economic security."
Listen to CCEA member Sara Hupp's testimony regarding SB543 and why it needs to be funded as it was intended.

Staying silent means we accept the status quo—and I am NOT about that for my students, my colleagues, or the communities we serve. 🍎✊💙Watch my #FundSB543 testimony here. Inspired by my amazing @Valley_Vikings a little history, of course ✨#NVleg

I’m more excited for tomorrow’s Personal Project workshop than ANY other so far! 🤩 Why? Because two friendly @VHSIB upperclassmen will be sharing ✨ THEIR ✨ experiences and takeaways from the Personal Project. @Valley_Magnet@MrMagness
This is a week of friendship & community 💕, so I’m not saying that the Goal Diggers are going to win, but...THE GOAL DIGGERS ARE GOING TO WIN! 🥇🏆🌟 @MrsWheatley1 @Ms_LPorter @MrMagness@VHSIB@Valley_Magnet
@VHSIB has another amazing Spirit Week in store for you to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Grab your homies and sign up to compete in the Varsity Quiz trivia showdown and bragging rights for the rest of the year if you win!! @MrMagness @Ms_LPorter @Ms_Hupp#CASexperience
There ain’t no party like a CAS/Personal Project Party cuz a CAS/Personal Project Party—has @MrsWheatley1 *and* I...? I tried! 🥳 We’ll see YOU, @VHSIB freshmen and sophomores, on Wednesday afternoon for a fun and informational hour!
My rule of thumb has been: If I won’t enjoy grading it, my students probably won’t enjoy doing it! We’re all about meaningful practice of the most important skills lots of student choice. Quality > qty. It’s been a ball seeing their interests AND skills shine. So proud! #k12
A7: I believe the message to teachers & students should be “less is more.” We cannot replicate the school day online, nor should we should try. Teachers need the space to navigate this challenging moment without pressure to keep pace w/a pre-pandemic pacing guide. #FETCchat
