Mounds View Public Schools is asking students in grades 5, 8, 9 and 11 to participate in the 2025 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS). Federal law requires us to notify parents of this school activity. The MSS is conducted in schools across our state every three years.

Questions on the survey are about many topics relating to young people’s lives. The survey asks about how well school is going, future plans, out-of-school activities, physical and mental health, relationships, substance use , and more. This useful information about their thoughts and behaviors helps communities and schools develop effective programs and provide better services.

The survey is anonymous. To prevent individuals or families from being identified, students do not provide their names, student identification numbers or personal information.

The survey is voluntary. You may choose to have your child not take the survey by completing and returning the form below. The form should be turned into the front office. Students may also decline to take any part of the survey or the whole survey. They are informed of that option by staff.

If you have questions about the survey, please contact: Mary Stobb, Director of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment at mary.stobb@mvpschools.org

You have the right to review a copy of the survey. Surveys are available for review in the school office (during office hours) or at the Mounds View District Center, 4570 Victoria Street North, Shoreview (between 8 am and 4pm daily). Additionally, families can email assessment@moundsviewschools.org with a request to review the survey, and that office will respond.

The Minnesota Student Survey will be administered to students in grade 8 at Chippewa Middle School on May 9th.
