Be sure that your child has all of their outdoor gear labeled with their name. We have a very limited supply of items for students to borrow for recess.

Also, if school is cancelled due to weather, you will receive an email, a text, and a phone call. It will also be on the school website. If there is bad weather later in the day, middle & high schools will release early but not elementary schools.

Click here, for more information.

A reminder, if your child is signed up for an after school class at VH, be sure this is communicated to your child's homeroom teacher. It is important that the teacher knows in advance that they are going to a class instead of their regular end of day routine.

We wanted to share some information with you in response to some reported cases of head lice in our school. Unfortunately, head lice is relatively common among elementary-aged students. Exclusion from school is not recommended when treating head lice. What can you do to help?

• Encourage avoidance of direct head-to-head contact

• Discourage the sharing of hats, combs, brushes, headbands, etc.

• Frequently (weekly) check your child’s head for head lice

For more information about how to identify, prevent and treat head lice, you can check out these links:

• Healthychildren.org - Head Lice: What Parents Need to Know

• Hennepin County Head Lice Fact Sheet

Thank you for your partnership!

Amazon Wishlist

We are excited to share the Amazon Wishlist we are hosting on behalf of the Valentine Hills Staff!. This will be an evergreen list that staff will continue to add to as their needs change and we will share it throughout the year.
Each item will have a teacher or staff member's name and urgency listed next to it. There is obviously no obligation at all but we are just excited to help support staff in any extra way we can. If you choose to order an item, we ask that you please add the staff member's name in the gift message to help get it to the correct person.

Are you ready for an exciting adventure in STEM? Join our Parent/Guardian-led LEGO League Explore Program, kicking off in January 2025! This program is a hands-on journey where teams of students will:

• Build and program a motorized LEGO model
• Develop and present a creative project
• Learn valuable critical thinking and teamwork skills along the way
• 
  

At the end of the program, teams will showcase their work at a celebratory exhibition with judges and community members.

No experience? No problem! Whether you're a first-time participant or a curious parent/guardian, this program is designed for everyone to learn and grow together. Don’t wait—spaces are limited! For more information visit our website for more details and to register your family today.

Let’s build something amazing together!

Of the five Standard Response Protocol (SRP) actions, HOLD is the most used. During a hold, students remain in classrooms and lessons continue.

Mounds View Public Schools uses common languages and practices throughout all buildings and with emergency responders. This simplified language, called Standard Response Protocol, proactively identifies five possible actions that could be required during an incident or an emergency. Learn more at mvpschools.org/srp.
