MOUND SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
A student’s education requires close cooperation, commitment and communication between school and home. The Mound Staff believe the key to a quality education necessitates that home and school work together, and that every student should be provided with opportunities to be a successful learner in an environment that highlights the following points:
1. a belief that every student has a right to learn and a responsibility for learning in a positive atmosphere
2. a belief that every teacher has a right to teach in an environment relatively free from distractions and interruptions, and a responsibility for providing a quality education program
3. a belief that “Every privilege implies a responsibility”
4. a concern for development of the full potential for each student by meeting their individual needs

Ventura Unified is beginning a clear, data-based process to determine whether any school sites may need to close in the coming years due to continued enrollment declines. A community advisory committee will review the data and provide recommendations, with no closures possible before the 2027–2028 school year.
