Blue Valley’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan builds on the work and successes of the district’s past, while also incorporating the goals and feedback shared by the Blue Valley community through the planning process. Academic achievement and personal excellence continue to surface as important cornerstones for Blue Valley, as well as an increased emphasis for students to learn life skills, social-emotional competencies, habits of mind and dispositions - skills that complement the academic setting but also have value outside of the classroom. This balance between academic excellence, a focus on the whole child and life-readiness is represented in the district’s mission statement.
