Prior to entry, visitors are asked to show a photo ID which is checked by a visitor management system.
Video camera systems are positioned at multiple entry points and are monitored during the school day.
Students and staff are asked to be proactive in reporting to administration all suspicious activities or any person who doesn't have a badge or seems out of place.

5 facts to know about . . .
Transportation and Mounds View Public Schools
1. We contract transportation services with six different bus companies.
2. Bus drivers are not Mounds View Public Schools employees.
3. Like all bus companies, our transportation providers are experiencing a shortage of
drivers. We are working collaboratively with them to address the need for additional
drivers.
4. Late buses may be an occasional consequence of the driver shortage. We're sorry for
this, and we ask for patience as we work with the bus companies to find drivers.
5. At times, when routes need to be covered by different substitute drivers, times and route
consistency may vary.
To learn more about bus driving opportunities, please call 651-621-8900 or visit www.american-
trans.com.
Let’s Talk About It: Caregivers, the first line of defense
As a caregiver, never underestimate your power to influence a child’s future. Read this month’s blog post about how adult behaviors can sometimes influence children’s behavior, and how this relates to Alcohol Awareness Month.
Payments for COVID-related absences
If your child is approved for Educational Benefits (free or reduced-price school meals), they may be eligible for P-EBT benefits of $8.10 for each day they were absent due to a COVID-19 impact. Click HERE for more information.
Non-Academic Personal Property:
Students should not bring personal items such as toys, card collections, footballs, soccer balls or similar sports equipment to school. These items may be misplaced or stolen and can be a disruption to learning. If a teacher wishes to have students bring such items to school for a special event, parents will be notified. We appreciate your support.
