🚨 Due to temporary adverse weather conditions, all school start times in Blue Valley will be delayed by two hours on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

🚌 All morning bus pick-up times will also be delayed by two hours. Schools will end their day at the regular time and after-school bus routes will operate on their normal schedule.

Additional information:
🔹 Y Club Academy operation will start two hours later than normal.
🔹 All morning early childhood classes are canceled.
🔹 All before school athletics and activities practices are canceled.
🔹 All morning CAPS classes are canceled.
🔹 Breakfast will not be served. Lunch will be served as close to the normal time as possible.
🔹 All transportation for accelerated classes is canceled. This means a middle or elementary school student who takes an accelerated class at another building will not attend class on a two-hour delayed start.
🔹 Decisions about after-school activities and athletics will be made at a later time.

Way to go, Lawson! Proud of you!

[BVW Football @BVWFOOTBALL]

Big-time recognition for Lawson McGraw — 1st Team All-EKL Linebacker, 1st Team Tight End, and 2nd Team Punter!

Lawson impacted the game in all three phases and showed why he’s one of the most versatile and dominant players in the league.

Huge congrats to Mo Darboe on earning 2nd Team All-EKL Safety!

Mo was a difference-maker all season—physical, smart, and always around the football. Proud of the way he led our defense from the back end.
