Any student who has a fever or has vomited must remain at home for 24 hours before returning to school. For more information, please click here.

Also, we receive alot of injuries this time of the year involving students who wear flip-flops, Croc type shoes, and slides. These shoes do not offer support while students are running around at recess, allow for wood chips/slivers, etc. Please encourage your child to wear closed toe shoes like tennis shoes.

If your family is moving this summer or transferring to a new school, please let the office know. Send an email to kristin.bakeman@mvpschools.org

Opportunity to Support Our Staff Through a 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.

Fall Fundraiser Committee Volunteers Needed

Help us raise the money the PTO needs to make all our initiatives and events happen. We can't do it without help! Roles needed are:

- Lead/co-lead

- T-shirt coordinator

- Incentive coordinator

- General committee member

Please reach out to valentinepto@gmail.com if you're interested in helping. Planning starts in the summer, with the exception of the t-shirt coordinator which begins now.

94% of parents believe our community receives a good value from Mounds View Public Schools.

The Summer EBT program has a new name: SUN Bucks. If your student receives Educational Benefits, you qualify for SUN Bucks! Qualifying families get a grocery benefit for each student this summer. Learn more about the SUN Bucks program here.
