· Late starts begin drop-off at 9:10 AM. Classes begin at 9:20 AM.
· In inclement weather, we will cancel classes when the Blue Valley school district cancels. The School generally does not cancel classes during the day, due to the difficulty of contacting all parents in a short period of time. If bad weather develops during the school day, parents may pick up their students on without advance notice to the school.
Certain event dates may change due to unforeseen circumstances; you will be given as much notice as possible if this occurs.
