This year, the School Board is asking the community to provide feedback regarding student use of cellphones in schools. Nearly 4,000 people shared their thoughts in an online survey, and about 200 people attended community conversations. Survey results and themes from the conversations will be shared with the community in the coming weeks. This feedback also will be shared with an advisory committee of parents, students and staff for their review. The group will identify themes found in the responses and provide recommendations to the School Board. The feedback and recommendations will ultimately be used to help inform the creation of a cell phone policy. Learn more at mvpschools.org/cellphones.

Mounds View High School's name references the Mound View territory, acknowledging the region's distinctive geographical features.

At Highview, we are committed to continually learning more about the developmental nature of pre-adolescents and how we can anticipate and support the changes they are navigating in their brains, bodies, and bonds.

Here are some tools (books and podcasts) that have informed us and that parents might also find helpful through these pre-adolescent years.

"Finding the Magic in Middle School" by Chris Balme

This book has become a new favorite for me as we all work to understand pre-adolescence and the magic of this stage of curiosity, exploration, and growth.

From Amazon excerpt: "How can parents stay close with their children through middle school? How do we help middle schoolers discover who they are, enjoy friendships, and manage their growing emotions? What kinds of learning experiences will keep them curious and motivated?"

If these are questions you're thinking about as a parent or caregiver, consider taking a look at this book. Find other book and podcast recommendations HERE.
