Who We Are
We serve Suburban Ramsey County including Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mounds View, New Brighton, North St. Paul, Oakdale, Roseville, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake, and White Bear Township.
Our Vision:
Suburban Ramsey County—a great place where all children are emotionally healthy, attain academic success, and are safe and secure at home, in school, and in the community.
Guiding Principles:
Children and young people develop within the context of family, peers, neighborhood, school, community and the larger culture. When all of these contexts work together, the cumulative effect is much greater than focusing on the child alone, the family alone, or the school alone. We're better together than we are alone.
When people are struggling, they turn first to informal supports—family, friends, neighbors, people they know through schools, faith communities, civic orrganizations, etc. We help connect and support these informal partners so people find the resources they need more quickly. We're better together than we are alone.
By linking these informal partners with our schools and social service providers, we are building a community wide infrastructure that builds a web of support surrounding children and young people. We're better together than we are alone.

District 621 Mounds View Public Schools
