Student Council Pop Tab Collection
IVE Student Council is excited to announce a pop tab collection to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Kansas City! RMHC is an organization that, among many other things, provides resources, a place to stay, and a warm meal to families of children who are in the hospital.
RMHC collects pop tabs and, by donating them to be recycled, receives money in return to continue supporting and funding the charity. You can check out the flyer for more information. We hope our IVE students enjoy collecting and bringing in pop tabs to support this wonderful organization!
Calendar Adjustment: Students In School on April 1
We wanted to remind you to mark your calendars as school will be in session on April 1st instead of the previously scheduled professional development day in order to meet the state attendance requirements. This adjustment was made in response to the Chiefs Super Bowl Parade Day. We understand that this change may impact your plans, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. If your child will not be present on this day, please use our typical absence reporting protocols to report the absence.
End of Quarter Information: Viewing Canvas Courses and Third 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 third quarter will conclude on March 7th at 11:59pm. Report cards will be generated and families will be able to view third quarter grades on ParentVUE at the end of the day on March 29th.
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.
