Participation in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities is strongly encouraged because students learn teamwork, grow physically and emotionally, develop a sense of belonging and enhance their self-image. These activities are an extension of the classroom and contribute immeasurably to a positive school climate. Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities in high schools are a significant part of the total educational experience available to students. The Blue Valley School District activities program will provide developmentally appropriate opportunities for students to explore and develop interests and talents in a wide variety of activities and academically related areas.
