School lunch is provided at no cost this school year, but if your child wants to pack a lunch or snack, remember that good nutrition is important for kids to grow, function and learn. Pack it with protein! Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot for food safety. #SchoolsThatCare

It's the night before school starts and all through the house--if your kids are screaming and making you a grouch, relieve anxiety of going back to school TONIGHT! Meet teachers, see classrooms, school supplies are available at the "care bus". "Sweet Dreams" tonight!

Great start to the 2021 - 2022 school year with teachers exploring the history of Waterville and Blue Rapids!

Blue Rapids staff can’t wait to see you tonight at the open house. Our rooms will be open from 6-7 to drop off supplies and meet your teacher.

The Waterville staff is excited to see all the students and parents for Back to School night this evening from 5-6! Come say hello, see the classrooms, and drop off supplies!


Friday, August 20th there will be a Gatorade Scrimmage for Volleyball @ 5:15 PM, in the high school gym. Please bring a sports drink as admission to help our athletes throughout the season.
Football is also looking for Gatorade donations. Due to the Jamboree in Riley County, they are unable to have a Gatorade scrimmage to receive donations. You can drop any type of sports/recovery drink off at the high school office. We appreciate your support!

Talk to your kids about school bus safety even if they don't ride a route to school everyday, they need to know the bus rules when they have a fieldtrip, game, or event to go on this school year!
