Back To School Checklist


Dues are $50 per family and they are the main source of funding for the PTO, we appreciate your support! 


PTO dues automatically grant you access to our School Directory. If you are unable to cover your dues at the moment you may use code VVMSPTODUES2023 when you checkout in the 'PTO Dues 2023-2024' form.

VVMS Updates
Food & Nutrition

Beginning on July 1, 2023, Edina has joined the Minnesota Free School Meals Program. All students are eligible to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch free each school day. If your student wants to receive a second lunch, an individual milk without a complete meal, or any other of our a-la-carte options, students will need to pay for these items through money in their lunch account.

Although no application is required to receive the free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important as it can provide other benefits to your student and helps the school qualify for education funds.

Raptor Visitor Management System

New to Edina Schools this year, the Raptor Visitor Management System will be used to check in all visitors. A letter was sent out to all EPS families on July 26th with more details about this new system and check-in process.

Here are a few videos that also help to explain the Raptor system:
