Temp rising... help

Changed my water shut off valve last weekend, yesterday I was driving home after work and the temp goes to 220-240 and a bit into the red... I pulled over to let it cool, then drove home. today driving to work the same happens... any ideas? I will check the coolant at break, and oil.

help!!

also, ensure there is not an air bubble in the thermostat housing that could be blocking the coolant...
