Summer Reading Programs
In order to “Stop the Summer Slide” I’ve created a summer reading resource that includes information about local summer reading programs, links to my summer reading book talk lists, Pebble Go summer learning activities, and a link to the Capstone Virtual Summer Camp that has lots of fun activities and FREE access to a number of e-books to keep your child engaged over the summer. Happy Summer Reading! Mrs. Guinn
Student Assessment Scores
Student assessment scores are now available in ParentVue; for click-by-click directions on accessing the scores, please click here.
For descriptions of each test and their purpose, we encourage consultation of the interpretation guides on the district assessment page.
2024-25 calendar modified to implement elementary plan/collaboration days
As you begin preparing for next school year, please note the newly approved eight non-student attendance days that will be utilized for plan and collaboration time. These days will be vital for ensuring the best possible preparation for our elementary students and key to quality teacher retention during a growing teacher shortage era.
The eight days that will be used as non-student attendance days for plan and collaboration time can be found in the revised 2024-25 calendar on the district website. Please note these days only apply to elementary students.
To address the childcare needs on these days, families will be able to sign up for Y Club Academy (formerly Y Club). Families not currently using Y Club will not be required to sign up for a full year to benefit from childcare on these specific days.
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.
