PROCESS
Students must live inside Blue Valley District boundaries in order to attend a Blue Valley School. If you are new to the Blue Valley School District, or are returning after having left the district, please go to the District Online Registration page and register your student(s). You will be required to provide certain documents such as a student birth certificate or passport, proof of residency, immunization records, etc. You'll also be required to complete other student-related information and complete required agreements. This process will route your student's registration to their school of attendance. No appointment will be made for selecting courses until registration is reviewed by the Registrar. Once verified for completion, you will be contacted by the Registrar to schedule an appointment.
If you have any additional questions, please contact Terri Chee, Registrar, (913) 239-3708 or [email protected].
