Enroll

You will be asked to provide some basic initial information so that we can add you and your children to our data system (home address, parent legal names and contact info, student legal names/birthdates/enrolling grade level). Once this is done, you will be given access to a ParentVUE account where you will complete registration online. (Paper registration materials are available to families who don’t have computer access.)

You will be asked to provide/upload the following necessary items:

• Proof of address:
  • Valid Minnesota Driver's License or state ID showing address
  • Purchase/Rental/Lease/Builders Agreement showing closing or move-in date
  • Current utility bill or mortgage payment or property tax statement in your name for the address where you are living
• Birth certificate (United States or Foreign) for the student you will be enrolling
• Contact information from the school your student previously attended (district name, phone and fax)
• Copy of student's Individual Education Plan (IEP) if applicable
• Up-to-date immunization records

If you are registering mid-school year, your student will begin school within 1-3 days of receipt of enrollment paperwork.  Information regarding transportation and related costs, before- and after-school child care options, and other important details will be provided when you register.

We look forward to serving your student(s) at Mounds View Public Schools.

Important Dates and Application Process

Applications received/postmarked by January 15, 2025, will receive priority consideration. If the number of applications exceeds available spots, a lottery will be held to fill the open seats. Families will be notified by February 15, 2025 with a decision.  Parent/Guardian must accept or decline the offer by March 1, 2025.  An application does not guarantee admission in the school requested.

Applications received after January 15, 2025 will be processed with remaining spots open after the lottery mentioned above.  Applications will be considered on a first come first served basis until all spots are filled.  An application does not guarantee admission in the school requested.  Families will be notified of a decision and must accept or decline within 10 business days.

New in-district transfer options will also be closed for the 2024-25 school year, with the exception of siblings of students currently attending a school outside of their attendance area, families with verifiable daycare in the requested school area, students of District staff members, or students with a documented and compelling educational need. Families with siblings or daycare must apply during the regular open enrollment time period of December 1 through January 15 of the winter before the student would attend. Families who believe that their student has a compelling educational need must also apply during this same time period.

Application for In-District Transfer

In-District Transfers - General Information

Residents of Mounds View Public Schools may apply to attend a school other than their home-assigned school as space is available.  Applications are generally accepted from December 1 to January 15 of the winter before your student would begin. In-District transfers are offered ahead of Open Enrollment (nonresident) placement, as space is available with priority given to siblings of student's currently attending the transfer school, requests where daycare is located in the transfer area, and staff requests.
