Use designated crosswalks when crossing a street
Wear a helmet when riding a bike
Stay alert for drivers
Increase driver awareness around school zones
There are more tips, including ideas for parents of walkers and riders at healthychildren.org.Thank you for prioritizing safety to make this spring season a safe and enjoyable one for everyone.
Fourth Quarter Report Card Reminder
End of Quarter Information - Viewing Canvas Courses and Fourth Quarter Grades
At the end of each quarter, courses in Canvas will conclude and will no longer be visible on the Canvas app and website. Courses for this year’s fourth quarter will conclude on May 23rd. Report cards will be generated and families will be able to view second quarter grades on ParentVUE at the end of the day on June 6, 2024.
How do I view my child’s report card?
Log in on ParentVue
Select your elementary student’s name
In the left navigation bar, choose REPORT CARD
If you have questions about Standards Based Grading as you view your child’s report card, please review the information found on the Elementary Report Card resource page.
Each new quarter, classroom teachers will publish their next quarter Canvas course. As courses are published, students and families will again be able to see current courses on the Canvas app and Canvas website. For Canvas parent resources, visit www.bluevalleyk12.org/canvas.
Pets on Campus
Please refrain from bringing your pets to the entrance of the school at arrival/dismissal. Please keep pets near the red marquee sign. Some students are very allergic, and others are afraid of animals. Even the friendliest pets can get anxious around a large number of students. We want to make sure we keep everyone safe. Thank you!
