Family Resources
Transportation
State law requires public school districts to provide free transportation to all students living two miles or more from their school. In addition, the District offers a fee-for-service option. Learn more and register for busing at mvpschools.org/transportation.
Child Care
The District partners with the local YMCA to provide before- and after-school care for school-aged children. Learn more.
Educational Benefits
As part of the Minnesota Free School Meals Program, all students are offered one breakfast and one lunch meal at no cost each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important, as your student may qualify for other benefits like reduced fees at school.
Meal Menus
