It was a great week at Blue Rapids elementary. I have been so impressed with how well the students are doing this year! I have seen some amazing growth from last year across all grades. Parents, please take note that Student Success Meetings are coming up the week of the 7th-10th of October! Teachers will be reaching out to parents to get conferences scheduled. Our goal is 100% participation in conferences. As a school, we love partnering with parents in educating the children and youth of Valley Heights!!

We need your help and feedback!!!! This coming MONDAY, the 30th of September is our next Strategic Planning Meeting.

The bike racks are full at Waterville Grade School! Please make sure we talk to your kids about bike safety! We’d like to remind families to discuss a safe route to school with your students. Whether it is on foot, bike, or a car we want everyone to arrive to and from school safely! For students on foot and bike remember that the safest crossings are at Chestnut & Highway 77 in Blue Rapids and Minnesota & Highway 77 in Waterville. These crossings are monitored both before and after school.
