Waubonsie Valley High School A Short History of Waubonsie Valley

Indian Prairie Community Unit School District #204 (a unit district K-12) was formed
in the fall of 1972.

In December of 1972 a referendum was passed to build and equip a high school at a projected cost of $8.2 million. A separate issue also passed to add a swimming pool. Construction on Waubonsie Valley High School began in the spring of 1973. Tom Gibbs was hired as the first Principal. Since his tenure, Gary Elmen, Marilyn Weaver, Jim Schmid, Kristine Marchiando, and Jason Stipp have served as Princ

ipal. In September of 1975, Waubonsie Valley opened its doors for its first school year. Two-hundred-ninety-three Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors attended the new high school. In addition, 7th and 8th graders were housed in the building (using the name Granger Junior High) until Hill Junior High (now Hill Middle School) opened in the Fall of 1981. Construction delays prevented students from using the gym until May of 1976 and the pool until October of 1976. The school was designed as an "open" campus, with very few walls to separate classes. This quickly gave way to temporary room dividers and eventually, more permanent walls. Major construction projects over the years added three classroom wings, a field house and an auditorium, leaving few clues as to the original design of the building. In 1997, WVHS was bursting at the seams with over 3,700 students. Neuqua Valley opened but the growth continued. In 2003, the Gold Campus opened across the street from the Green Campus. "Gold" housed our Freshmen students while Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors attended classes at "Green." In 2009, Metea Valley opened. As a result, WVHS once again hosts all four classes and has initiated a "house" concept to support students.

Good evening, Warrior Families,

Due to ongoing construction at Waubonsie Valley High School, Curriculum Night will be held virtually this year. Teachers have created video presentations that provide parents and guardians with an opportunity to learn more about their student’s classes, teachers, course expectations, and the curriculum students will be engaging with throughout the school year.

How to view Curriculum Night video presentations:
To watch the video presentations that correspond with your student’s schedule, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Check Your Student’s Schedule
Log in to ParentVue and review your student’s current schedule. You will need your student’s teacher names and class periods to access the appropriate Curriculum Night presentations.

Step 2: Access the Curriculum Night Teacher List
Use the Curriculum Night Teacher List to locate each of your student’s teachers. The teacher list is organized alphabetically by last name.

Step 3: Locate Your Student’s Teacher
Find the teacher who teaches each of your student’s classes.

For example, if your student is enrolled in Business Orientation with Mr. Bryan Acevedo during 1st period, locate Acevedo, Bryan on the teacher list.

Step 4: Select the Correct Video Presentation
Once you locate the teacher, select the hyperlink for the video presentation that corresponds with your student’s class period.

It is important to select the video for the correct class period, as teachers may have different presentations for each period.

Step 5: Repeat for Each Class
Continue this process for each of your student’s classes so you can learn more about the courses and teachers they will be working with this year.
