Ball Charter Schools

Happy National Girls & Women in Sports Day! 🐬🥎🏀🏐📣✨ Today we celebrate the incredible female athletes who paved the way, from our back-to-back state championship softball team, to our state champion girls basketball team, and trailblazers like our first-ever CAA athlete of the year 🏆 We also honor our first Girls Flag Football team, who showed heart, growth, and competitiveness in their inaugural season! We are so grateful for our past, present and future female athletes who continue to pave the way and inspire the next generation. We are also grateful for the amazing female coaches who guide and empower our athletes every day. Because of you, today’s athletes have a path to follow and a standard to chase 💙 #Dobsonacademy #dobsonacademyk8 #ballcharterschools #dobsondolphinsathletics #dobsonacademyathletics

🏀📸VALLEY SUNS/PICTURE DAY📸🏀 Reminder that tomorrow is spring picture day! This is a "personality picture" so no uniforms required but please adhere to dress code. 😃 Smile big Vipers! Val Vista is partnering with the Valley Suns (G-League associate of the NBA Phoenix Suns) to host a night for Val Vista families! The date is Sunday, January 25th, at 2 pm. Check out some of our fun from last year! The Valley Suns put on such a fun show and experience! If we sell at least 50 tickets, we will have the opportunity to high-five players before the game! The link is below. One lucky ticket will be chosen at random by me to win a goody bag from the Suns! It contains a mini-basketball and some other fun merch! Please reach out to Mr P with any questions. The Valley Suns are a great way to watch professional basketball games, and future (and sometimes current) Phoenix Suns players in a small, intimate, less-expensive setting. Plus you get to enjoy some good times with VVA families. It’s a win-win! https://valleysuns.spinzo.com/valley-suns-vs-austin-spurs-2026-01-25-ASUMQ?group=val-vista-academy-rpj6 #personalizededucation #gilbert #elementaryschool #letsgovipers #vva #viperstrong #valvistaacademyk8 #parentschoolchoice #kindergarten #middleschool #charterschool #valleysuns #gleague #nba

💀🎃HALLOWEEN🎃💀 We had SO MUCH FUN at the Monster Bash partying with all of you! HUGE shout out to all our volunteers for making the night a huge success! We wanted to remind you of some rules to make Halloween at school just as fun! -No scary costumes, face paint, masks, toy weapons or other unsafe accessories, inflatables, or costumes that don't allow students to safely navigate their desks, classroom, and school day in general. -Athletic-style shoes must be worn. -Colored hair is acceptable. -Reasonably sized wings, big wigs, tall hats, and the like are acceptable, BUT students may be asked to remove them in class or to participate in recess or PE. Same for accessories like wands and such. NOTE: Kids play, create, and generally "be kids" when they are at school. Damage to costumes could happen, so we ask you to use caution in sending your child in expensive or "special" costumes, or the costume they plan on wearing for trick-or-treating. Thank you! #personalizededucation #gilbert #elementaryschool #letsgovipers #vva #viperstrong #valvistaacademyk8 #parentschoolchoice #kindergarten #middleschool #charterschool #halloween
