Elementary school registration for the 2024-25 school year is open and online now for current students. Registration is required annually and is the time to update your child’s information and pay fees. Completing registration confirms that your child will attend school in August.

Last day announced for 2023-24 school year
As we begin the fourth quarter, the district has determined the last day of school for students for 2023-24. Assuming no unforeseen circumstances cause us to cancel school, staff and families can plan on May 24 as the last day for students in grades K-11. Students in the early childhood programs will have their last day on May 23.
High school finals will occur May 22–24, with building principals communicating the specific schedules to their school families and students at a later date. For more information or to subscribe to the district calendar, visitwww.bluevalleyk12.org/calendar.
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!
BVEF Champion for Students
Do you know an educator who cultivates a learning environment where relationships are the cornerstone, where kindness and compassion are guiding principles, and making a profound difference in the lives of young people is not just a goal but a lived reality? Now is your chance to recognize those educators whose impact extends far beyond their role, shaping the trajectory of our students’ journeys and leaving an enduring legacy of excellence.
Nominations are officially open for BVEF’s new Champion for Students Award. Anyone in the Blue Valley Schools’ community is welcome to nominate an educator (any staff member, e.g., teacher, paraprofessional, administrator, kitchen manager, etc.) for this prestigious honor.
