REQUIRED FEES
Blue Valley Schools charges a variety of required fees, which are reviewed annually and revised as necessary. A $2 non-refundable service fee is charged for all debit/credit card payments. The service fee is collected by the third-party processor to cover the processing of payments, similar to online banking fees. Families continue to have the option to deliver check or cash payments to the school office.
These fees include, but are not limited to:
Learning Resource Fee
(Early childhood, elementary, middle and high school)
Collected at a rate of $115 per student, this fee is primarily used to purchase materials and supplies that support educational initiatives in the classroom.Activity Programming Fees
(Middle and high school)
The activity programming fee is collected at a rate of $25, sixth grade; $55, seventh grade; $90, eighth grade; and $135, 9th-12th grades. Please note there will be a $250 maximum payable amount for families with multiple Blue Valley students. This fee helps support all sports, activities, clubs and other supplemental contract items that require extra-duty supervision from qualified district staff. It only covers a portion of the costs for a student team activity and does not replace fees currently being charged for programs such as drill team, cheerleading, certain clubs or sports.
At the conclusion of the academic year, the activity programming fee may be refunded, upon request, to any student who did not participate in any KSHSAA or non-KSHSAA activity, school club or any other non-required activity which was offered at the school. All refund requests must be submitted between May 1-31 of the academic year for which the refund request is being made. All refunds must be approved by the building principal.Exploratory/Elective Fees
