Blue Valley USD 384

6th graders saved Fred today!

***8-19-22*** Good evening RAMFAM, I was notified today that starting Monday August 22nd, weather permitting, work to resurface the roads of Randolph will start. This affects 2 bus stops in town. The drivers and families affected have been notified. I was told that while the streets are being worked on, driving on them is not allowed so I decided to send this to everyone. Drivers should find other routes within town. Main street and the frontage road will be the last streets worked on. To access the HS campus, please use the main entrance on Greene-Randolph Road and NOT the south entrance on Ram Way. Please contact the city with questions regarding the project. #BVSTRONG
