Welcome to Van Nuys Middle School, "Home of the Mighty Mustangs"! Our vision, Learning Today for Tomorrow symbolizes the commitment that our teaching staff and support staff have made to developing a positive learning environment in which students are able to achieve success in all areas. Our mission, "Each Student Can and Will Succeed in our College-Going Culture," is our pledge to prepare our students to be socially and academically ready for high school and have the knowledge base to access a college education.

Middle School is a time to experience many changes. There will be more work and more social contacts. Students are expected to be in class on time and ready to learn. They should always demonstrate pride in their appearance, in the quality of their work, and in maintaining the beautification of our school. Everyone is expected to accept responsibility for their behavior, respect the rights of others and meet the goals that have been set to carry on the tradition of excellence, and make Van Nuys Middle School the best middle school in the LAUSD.

We welcome parents, family, and community members to our campus on a daily basis and look forward to a continuous partnership in the education of all of our Mustangs.
