December 7-10 - GIFT CARD DRIVE
Since the holidays can be a source of financial stress for families, gift cards allow for dignity to remain in place so families can shop for themselves. The following gift cards are especially helpful: Walmart, Grocery Stores, Target. Rather than purchasing one gift card in a larger amount, it would be most helpful to break the amount down to smaller increments and more gift cards. For example, rather than one $50 gift card, five $10 gift cards help to make dispensing the cards more flexible. GIFT CARD DONATIONS CAN BE DROPPED OFF BY PARENTS OR STUDENTS IN THE FRONT OFFICE IN AN ENVELOPE MARKED "SENIORS GIVE BACK"
If you are in need of resources or more information, please reach out to Amber Wesley, school social worker, at awesley@bluevalleyk12.org.

Critical College Board Account Info
Review the demographic information on your College Board ASAP! College Board will use this information for the exam labels.
If the demographic information is incorrect, it can result in the exam not being scored/valid. Students must use their legal names on their account.
Frequent errors:
Registering as Tony, if your legal name is Anthony
Parents accidentally listing their name as the student taking the exam
JohnJacobJingleheimerSchmidt (gotta use that space bar)
1234 Main Street (you know you live on Main Terr, friend)
Students must call College Board ASAP to correct demographic information. This is the only way.
