By preparing and serving breakfast and lunch meal service for our students, child nutrition employees are a crucial support for learning and growth in our schools. We are grateful for the flexibility and care they share each day. Join us in sharing your gratitude for our Nutrition Services team!
Each year, Minnetonka Schools surveys parents about their family’s educational experience in our district. Results of this year’s survey revealed parents have high confidence in our programs, schools, teachers and leadership.
Minnetonka Schools aspires to be a place where students feel empowered in their academic, co-curricular and personal pursuits and where, throughout their school experiences, students feel a sense of well-being, belonging and connection. Our School Board goals note these among our highest priorities.
The mission of the Minnetonka School District is to ensure all students envision and pursue their highest aspirations while serving the greater good. In a community that transcends traditional definitions of excellence, we use learning and teaching as tools to value and nurture each person, inspire in everyone a passion to excel with confidence and hope, and instill expectations that stimulate extraordinary achievement in the classroom and in life.
