Play Day at the Blue Rapids Grade School has been canceled.
Thank you to Landolls and Travalong for giving our 5th grade students an amazing field trip with an afternoon of bowling.
Due to the impending weather overnight and tomorrow morning, it has been decided that Play Day will be at each respective building and not at the high school. Waterville will still be in the morning hours and Blue Rapids in the afternoon. While we are not able to have play day as normal we will be having fun activities for the kids. With this in mind we will not be able to invite spectators in the Waterville building due to limited space however if you would like to spectate at the Blue Rapids Gym for those activities you may do so. Activities at the Blue Rapids building will start at 12:30! A sack lunch will still be provided.
Senior Awards Night tonight at 7 pm in the VHHS commons. Hope to see you all there for an evening honoring our seniors.

Valley Heights USD 498 is currently accepting applications for an elementary teacher at Blue Rapids Grade School. Valley Heights has a tradition of success in all areas of academics and activities. Through fidelity and rigor, our elementary was named a 2017 Blue Ribbon School for their transformation within the MTSS framework which ensures each individual student's social/emotional and academic needs are met. In 2018 they were named a National Title I Distinguished School for closing the achievement gap for all student groups, one of only two schools in the state of Kansas to be recognized. Most recently, the foundational work to become a Trauma Informed district has been initiated to address the mental health and Social Emotional Learning of our diverse student population. Another goal we are striving to achieve is in creating collaborative teams of community and school representatives to establish relationships and build connectivity between our district, parents and patrons. Valley Heights has an experienced and dedicated staff that is continually looking toward ways to improve and increase student achievement. We are proud of the rich, rural traditions that have created the family environment that ties our two small, but progressive, cities into one district.
We are #MustangProud and invite you to visit our website and see all the exciting things happening at Valley Heights! To apply, please follow the following link: https://www.applitrack.com/valleyheights/onlineapp/
