COVID/FLU
We urge you to stay informed and prepared by visiting the Blue Valley School District COVID/Flu guidelines at this link: https://www.bluevalleyk12.org/Page/36106. These guidelines are crucial for the health and safety of our school community.
Students may not attend classes until both are true: symptoms are improving, and there has been no fever for 24 hours without medication. Upon returning to normal activities, take additional precautions over the next five days, such as avoiding close contact with high-risk individuals and maintaining good personal hygiene.
Authorization For Medication/Procedure To Be Administered At School. Please have medical orders faxed to 913-239-3038. This is especially important if your student has a health condition that requires medical care at school and is required each school year.
Medications can be dropped off by appointment only during normal school hours of
7:35 a.m. -3:00 p.m. Please e-mail Alex Norval, BVN School Nurse, at ANNorval@bluevalleyk12.org to schedule your drop off time.

If you need to speak with the nurse, please e-mail ANNorval@bluevalleyk12.org to set up an appointment.
Blue Valley North has 1600 students, so we have a full-time staff member, Stephanie Lange, dedicated to managing all absences and requests when students need to leave for an appointment. Since we do NOT want to interrupt class, and call into the classrooms, we ask you to plan in advance so we can have your student waiting for you to prevent you from waiting on your student.
Need to pick up your student early? We need 2 hours’ notice!
- You and your student discuss the appointment the night before to plan.
- Check the daily bell schedule (see below) for the best time to leave.
- (1) Send a note with your student and provide:
- Student’s first and last name
- Student’s ID# (see ParentVue)
- Reason for absence
- Date/time student needs to leave/return (not the class period)
- Your name, phone number & signature
- Students can drop off the note at the Attendance Office before school.
OR (2) Email attendanceBVN@bluevalleyk12.org at least 2 hours in advance of the time your student needs to leave the office. Include all info listed above.
- A pass will be delivered to your student in class with time of release.
- Your student will sign out in the attendance office and wait in the office until they see you pull up to the circle drive. Parents do not need to come into BVN.
- If they return to school after the appointment, they will sign into the attendance office and get an “excused” pass to give to their teacher.
Will your student be gone all day due to illness, a college visit, etc.?
- Provide the information bolded above.
- Report your absence in ParentVue, the most efficient way to report an absence.
- OR Email attendanceBVN@bluevalleyk12.org by 8:00 a.m. the day of.
Notification of Unexcused Absences
Families of high school students will receive automated attendance messages via email, phone, and/or text message at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. if a child is absent and his/her absence has not been reported by a parent/guardian. If parents forget to report an absence? No worries. Reply directly to the phone call or email and make the edit in the attendance reporting. To avoid these notifications, follow the procedures listed above.
Did you know? Families can select “Religious Holiday” as an option for a child’s absence in ParentVue, when applicable. This notation could be helpful to our school staff so they can plan accordingly for your student’s absence.
Questions? Please contact Stephanie Lange, Attendance Office Manager directly. Email attendanceBVN@bluevalleyk12.org or call (913) 239-3001
Thank you!
