Hi Blue Valley Community,
I want to let you all know that tomorrow February 5th, 2021, Blue Valley School District will be having a "Red Friday Spirit Day" to help encourage the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Sunday! Wear your KC Chiefs gear or anything red. Go CHEIFS!
MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT 2-3-2021
I was notified today we had someone at MES was a direct contact of a positive COVID case. The person has been quarantined and I will be contacting those students families who may have had closer contact with this person so they can also monitor for symptoms.
For now, this doesn't mean anything other than you should know and monitor yourself for symptoms. Where it matters is if that person tests positive at some point during the quarantine. Then, we will make another round of phone calls for close contacts and quarantine notifications. Thank you for being diligent in wearing masks, social distancing and sanitizing your hands. Your efforts have kept our cases very minimal and kept Blue Valley Schools open!
SPIRIT WEEK at BVHS!!! Spread the word and there will be some GREAT prizes for winners each day. Time for a FUN week and GO RAMS!!!!

Third Graders decorated masks in support of either the Chiefs or the Bills.
Second graders have been working hard learning two-digit addition this week! It’s always fun watching them learn something new!




The 4th Graders started a new Science unit on Electricity! Today, we explored how to light a lightbulb in our groups. We will continue to learn about circuits and electrical safety in the new few weeks.




Kindergarten practiced counting by 10’s while making the state flower. We also celebrated Kansas Day by making headbands with our state symbols!


Kansas Day was a smashing success in first grade at MES




Students ended their Friday with a mask decorating contest on Red day cheering on the Chiefs!

Basic math facts are more fun with an interactive math game!




Second graders enjoyed making this “catching snowflakes” project. It was very fitting for this week!

Students sent their Flat Stanley’s off to a friend or relative in December. We have received lots of letters, pictures, and packages from them the last few weeks. Yesterday and today we have been sharing and mapping where they all went. The students had a blast!
