It was a fantastic week at Blue Rapids elementary. Parents, we have an EXCITING week coming up as we have Student Success Meetings this week! Teachers have already reached out to parents to get conferences scheduled. If you have not signed up yet, please make sure you do so. Our goal is 100% participation in conferences. As a school, we love partnering with parents in educating the children and youth of Valley Heights!!

I want to give major kudos to our students for their attendance. Please see the attendance tracker below. What a great week to be a Mustang! As a reminder next Friday is NO School. Please families enjoy a great three-day week of rest and relaxation.

I thank you all for the privilege of working with your children! If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call the office at 785-363-7693 or email me at tstaples@valleyheights.org.

The 6th grade leadership is doing a penny war until October 17th between each grade to raise money for picnic tables for the playground area. Each penny counts as a point; nickels, dimes, quarters and bills take away from each classes' points. The winning grade will face off in a Kickball game on October 18th. Good luck everyone!

Colts Round Up begins this Tuesday, September 3rd. Please see the family guide below for all the details on Colts Round Up!

Congrats to this week's Waterville VHS ticket winners! Rhett, Elliot, Canyon, and George! Good work, boys!

Each week we'll give you a fun question to talk about around the dinner table with your family! Eating together as a family is an excellent time to strengthen relationships and check in with your child and their needs. Enjoy discussing the question of the week!

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.
