Electronic Community Bulletin Board Replaces Fliers
The Blue Valley School District is working to utilize technology in communicating with parents, staff and the community. As part of this, Blue Valley is introducing an electronic Community Bulletin Board to tell parents about opportunities offered by outside groups.  The electronic Community Bulletin Board is available through the district Web site and will replace all paper flier distribution from outside groups. Many parents depend on the schools to send home information about enriching opportunities available through outside groups. The electronic Community Bulletin Board will give people access to the same types of information they used to receive from fliers and brochures. Local non-profit athletic associations, parks and recreations departments and other non-profit, governmental or education groups that offer opportunities in Johnson County will continue to communicate with Blue Valley families.

• Families can access the electronic Community Bulletin Board from the district home page at www.bluevalleyk12.org .  Click on the Parents button or the Community button to find it. Additionally, it will be available under Hot Topics. People can also go directly to the page which is located at www.bluevalleyk12.org/community/bulletinboard .
• As an added convenience, people can receive email updates each time new information is posted. Visit www.bluevalleyk12.org/community/bulletinboard and click "Subscribe" to sign up. Subscribers will receive emails that tell them when the page has been updated. The email also includes a link to the Community Bulletin Board so not only will information be available more quickly, it will be at your fingertips in a cost efficient, environmentally friendly fashion. 
• In the past, paper fliers went through a district approval process before they could go to students. Information for the new electronic Community Bulletin Board must also go through a district approval process. Once a submission has been approved, the district can post it right away. Parents will have access to information more quickly than ever.
• The bulletin board will lead to a significant drop in paper consumption, and will help groups avoid the costs associated with producing and delivering hundreds of paper fliers. It exemplifies the Blue Valley commitment to making the most of our environmental, fiscal and technological resources. It's one of the many ways we strive to deliver an Education Beyond Expectations for every student.
