Welcome to MPS!

Our mission is to ensure that all students learn. We support their growth into knowledgeable, skilled and confident citizens capable of succeeding in their work, personal and family lives into the 21st century.

We know that our community expects great things and so does the Minneapolis Public Schools. Our goal is to keep our community informed about various school matters, aware of news and happenings, and engaged in various events district-wide. We are determined to get these messages across through various communications channels, including the use of our very-own radio station KBEM 88.5 FM, as well as our TV station, Cable Channel 15.  

 

In Minneapolis we believe that education is everyone’s job. Students must come to school ready to learn and demonstrate respectful and safe behavior and participate in class on a regular basis.

 

Parents, teachers and community members must promote and model respectful and safe behavior and communicate the value of education to students.
