Welcome to MPS Insider!
Spring is the time of year when the hard work of our students is being showcased and rewarded. So many incredible things are happening.
- Many of our schools are performing spring plays and musicals.
- Sports teams have advanced toward or played in state championships.
- Musicians and singers are practicing for state solo and ensemble competitions.
- Science fairs are in progress across the district, leading up to the district-wide STEM Fair on April 20 at the Milwaukee County Zoo Peck Welcome Center.
- Middle school and high school forensics students are finishing their seasons, competing at state tournaments.
- A number of clubs – math, science, chess, and more – are engaged in the highest levels competition.
I’d like to congratulate our many teams and students who earn awards and personal bests in the many competitions taking place through the end of the school year. I’d also like to invite everyone to see what is happening in our schools and attend a game or performance! See more details on the district calendar on the MPS home page.
We have so many successes to celebrate. Our students and teams make me MPS Proud!!
Best,
Darienne B. Driver, Ed.D.

MPS is a Safe Haven
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors unanimously approved a resolution designating all school grounds as “safe havens” for undocumented students. This step has been taken to ensure that students come to school every day and that parents feel safe attending conferences and school events.
Learn more about this new policy.
