Parent & Student Handbook - MHS

Waxaan kugu soo dhaweyneynaa MHS!

Our work at MHS is grounded in three critical words: relationships, engagement, and encouragement. Each staff member is committed to building a strong relationship with students in an engaging environment. At the same time, we work to inspire students to do more than they thought they could. MHS is a school of opportunities for all learners.

Waxaan ka codsanayaa arday kasta inuu ku fiicnaado afarta qaybood ee kala ah: Tacliinta, Farshaxanka, Hawlaha, iyo Ciyaaraha iyadoo la horumarinayo jiho akhlaaqeed oo xooggan. Ardayda cusub waxay si dhakhso ah u baran doonaan labadeena qiyam ee asaasiga ah: "Samee waxa saxda ah" iyo "Si fiican noo matala." Weedhahani maaha ereyo kaliya; laakiin, waxa arday kasta laga rabo inuu sameeyo. Midna ma fududa labaduba waxay u baahan yihiin geesinimo. Waan ku faanayaa inaan daawado ardaydeenna oo u hoggaansamaya filashooyinkan maalin kasta.

Our commitment to building a strong, respectful, and inclusive school community is on-going. We welcome students from all backgrounds and a variety of communities. The fact that we are all Skippers is our common bond. Our ongoing video series, “I am a Skipper," showcases MHS students throughout the year. Please click here to visit the District's Vimeo channel that includes these and all of our videos.

Waalidiin, sannad kasta waxaad ilmahaaga nagu aamintaan. Mas'uuliyaddaas si fudud uma qaato. Dugsi ahaan, waxaan ka go'an nahay inaan wax barno ilmaha oo dhan iyo inaan bixinno bulsho wanaagsan, ammaan ah, madadaalo leh, oo daryeel leh. Haddii aad qabtid su'aalo ama ilmahaagu u baahan yahay caawimo, fadlan marka hore la xiriir la-taliyaha ilmahaaga taleefanka ama iimayl ahaan. Sidoo kale, albaabkeygu had iyo jeer wuu furan yahay waxaanan soo dhaweynayaa dhammaan jawaab celinta.

MISSION & CORE VALUES

Hadafka Degmada Dugsiga Minnetonka waa in la hubiyo in dhammaan ardaydu ay hiigsadaan oo ay raacaan himilooyinkooda ugu sarreeya iyagoo u adeegaya wanaagga weyn. Bulsho ka gudubta qeexitaannada dhaqameed ee heerka sare, waxaan u adeegsannaa waxbarashada iyo waxbaridda qalab si aan u qiimeyno oo aan u kobcinno qof kasta, ugu dhiirrigelinno qof walba xiise uu ugu fiicnaado kalsooni iyo rajo, iyo inaan ku beerno rajooyin dhiirrigeliya guul aan caadi ahayn fasalka iyo nolosha.

At Minnetonka High School, our community lives by the values “Do the right thing” and “Represent us well.” These phrases are not merely words; rather, what each student is asked to do. Neither is easy and both require courage.

FOUR PILLARS OF SUCCESS

School information and protocols are grouped by topic under our four pillars of success, "Be Respectful," "Be Connected," "Be Present" and "Be Prepared." Each of these pillars is a key aspect of how we live out our core values and mission. 

Be Respectful

At MHS, we stand up for respect. That means respecting yourself, others, and standing up for respect in our spaces and in our community.

Be Connected

Relationships are at the core of our work together, and they are a critical element to our success. There are hundreds of opportunities at MHS for students to connect in arts, athletics and activities.

Be Present

MHS has a tremendous amount of opportunities for students to pursue their passion—and to truly experience it all and gain the benefit of these opportunities, students must be fully present and engaged in their learning.

Be Prepared

We have many resources to support you socially, emotionally and academically. Preparing to access this support prepares students to do and be their best at MHS and beyond.
