Milwaukee Public Schools

Going above and beyond in the midst of a pandemic, this year’s Teacher Appreciation Week is extra special. 

Just a couple of weeks after returning to in-person learning, dozens of Milwaukee Public Schools classrooms and several schools are closing because of the spread of COVID-19.

Three Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) have transitioned to virtual learning due to positive COVID-19 cases being reported, officials said.

It’s their last year of high school, but Monday was the first day back in class for Milwaukee Public Schools seniors who returned to face-to-face learning for the first time in more than a year.

Milwaukee Public Schools seniors who opted in for in-person learning will head back to class Monday morning, marking the final phase of the district's in-person learning rollout.

Clement Avenue School and Starms Early Childhood are two of the 27 schools in the entire United States that are being recognized as Green Ribbon Schools.

One mother pulled her child from the classroom after 80 buses and 160 routes for Milwaukee Public Schools were canceled last week.

The MPS COVID-19 dashboard says there were more than two dozen reported positive cases in the last seven days, but it's unclear how many students and classes are impacted.

More Milwaukee Public Schools students returned to in-person learning Monday after not seeing their teachers or peers face to face in more than a year, but not everyone was packing up bookbags. 

Starting this week, Milwaukee Public Schools will begin testing students and staff for COVID-19.

Schools will be randomly tested for COVID-19 every other week. The process to do that is part of the reason one parent is keeping her child home for now.
