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.
Solar Eclipse - April 8
On April 8, a solar eclipse will cross a portion of the United States. What a great opportunity for our school community to experience a rare scientific phenomenon! We plan to incorporate this unique learning experience into our afternoon on April 8th. We have ordered safe viewing glasses for our staff and students to utilize. If you prefer your child NOT to participate in the solar eclipse viewing, please email your child's classroom teacher, and there will be an option for your child to have an excused absence on this afternoon or a supervised, alternative activity that will be provided at school during the viewing.
This event is for students ONLY. No parent visitors during this time.
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!
Sticker Contest
The Johnson County Election Office is running a contest for K-8 students to design a sticker to be distributed to youth at advance voting and Election Day polling sites. The submission deadline is May 3. Contest rules and required forms are included in this Sticker Contest Packet as well as at this link.
Blue Valley Schools is committed to promoting and fostering a safe environment in and around all of our schools. Through the convergence of physical and intellectual security measures, we are continuously working to prevent, mitigate, respond to and recover from a wide range of emergencies. Please check out available ways to report safety concerns.
