Our commitment to safety and support
Our commitment to safety and support


Dear members of our school community,

We are writing to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the safety, well-being and dignity of every student in our care.

As you know, recent immigration-related activity has escalated anxiety around the state and even within our own school community. These circumstances have understandably raised questions and concerns, and we want to be clear that our schools remain safe and welcoming places for all students.

  • Please know that we have a coordinated system of safety protocols, support services and communications in place that includes our law enforcement partners, school leaders and key staff.
  • Our safety protocols are designed to protect students during the school day, and we continue to follow these procedures consistently.
  • In accordance with state law, we do not collect or share information about students or families beyond what is required for educational purposes. All personal information about students and their families is protected and cannot be shared without parental consent.

Every day, in ways often unseen to the general public, our focus is on providing a stable, supportive learning environment where students can learn, grow and feel safe. We encourage individuals and families to reach out to us directly if they have questions or need support. Our school district has a strong network of community resources available and ready to support our students and families.

Thank you for your continued partnership as we work together to keep our school community safe and supportive.

Sincerely,
Mounds View Public Schools
