Summer Hours
Summer hours for the main office will be Monday - Thursday from 7 am - 2 pm. The office will be closed on Fridays. Due to limited staff in the office and vacation time, please call ahead at 651-621-6600 if you plan to stop by to make sure someone is there.
Please Update Your Student's Information for 2024-25 School Year!
Parents, to ensure we have all information needed for the upcoming 2024-25 school year, please log into your ParentVUE account and complete the Online Data Verification for your student/s. This needs to be done prior to getting your student’s fall schedule at the Welcome Back Event. Doing the online registration beforehand will save you much time from having to stand in line to complete it that evening.
To complete the process, log into ParentVUE and click on the "Online Data Verification" button in the upper right-hand corner. Be sure your contact information is correct, current address (please attach proof of residence if you have a new address or you are new to Edgewood), and you have emergency contacts listed for your student. If you do not have a ParentVUE account set up, please contact Shannon at Shannon.mildenberger@mvpschools.org for an activation code. Thank you for your help in this matter!
PLEASE NOTE: This process needs to be done each school year.

OUR EYES ARE ON IRONDALE
Pre-Season Sports Physicals
Promoting student health and well-being is a priority in our district. In keeping with this goal, it's recommended that all students have a complete physical exam each year. Well-child preventive care allows parents/guardians and healthcare providers to check children's growth and development, identify any concerns, and treat them early to prevent bigger problems later on. A complete physical examination also meets the requirements of the Minnesota State High School League and is required for students who plan to participate in sports through Mounds View Public Schools.
Please have your licensed healthcare provider complete the attached form at the time of your student’s examination. Students who plan to participate in Fall Sports at Irondale High School should submit a completed physical exam form to the Activities Office at Irondale.
Options for submitting the completed physical exam form:
- Scan (or photo) & email: maggie.schley@mvpschools.org
- Fax: 651-621-6843
- Drop off or mail:
Irondale High School Activities Office
2425 Long Lake Road
New Brighton, MN 55112
If you need any assistance, please contact Maggie Schley, Irondale High School Activities Admin Assistant at 651-621-6822 or maggie.schley@mvpschools.org.
Fall Sports will start on August 11, 2025 and registration will open on July 21, 2025.
