We’re personal

Each Student at Mounds View High School has a Personalized Learning Plan.

At Mounds View, teachers and staff get to know each of their students personally. The school’s Dean Model prompts students to develop a supportive relationship with an adult who maintains contact with students and their families regularly to ensure a personalized comprehensive learning experience.

Personal Learning Plans

Every Mounds View student has a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) and access to personalized post-secondary planning tools. Deans work with students throughout their high school career to create unique goals by analyzing academic data and personal connections using online tools like Naviance. Teachers use students’ interests, prior course completion and achievement data to tailor their daily instructional approach, and students and parents can view progress and receive performance benchmark data throughout the year by logging into the online parent portal, ParentVUE.

A personalized educational program

Mounds View’s comprehensive curriculum includes more than 210 course offerings.

• A wide range of world language offerings.

• Award-winning music options.

• A variety of enriched and accelerated courses.

• Online and hybrid courses where the majority of the instruction is delivered online, supplemented by faceto-face instruction in an in-person seminar.

Instructional technology

Mounds View is committed to implementing technologies that best align with instructional needs.

• Wireless access points are available throughout the building, making the Internet accessible in classrooms and all areas of the school.

• As part of the District’s technology vision and the COVID-19 pandemic, access to technology tools will continue to increase in classrooms. Each student receives their own Chromebook. This increased access to technology provides students with opportunities to extend their learning beyond the classroom walls and allows teachers to personalize instruction to meet the needs of all students.

• Programs and services will be in place at all schools to ensure that race, gender, class and disability will not predict students’ success.

• Students’ academic performance will not fall into patterns identifiable by factors such as race, ethnicity, English language proficiency, socioeconomic status and disability.

• The school that a student attends will not be the predictor of their success in school.
