Help your child keep learning! With schools closed due to coronavirus, it’s important for students to learn while at home. MPS will be closed for at least three weeks of regular class time.

MPS is currently offering instructional learning materials at all 20 “Stop, Grab, and Go” locations along with packaged meals for students. Learn more about this program on the MPS COVID-19 Update page. These instructional materials are filled with activities to support and enrich learning during the extended closure.

Students and families can also access a number of online resources selected by the MPS Office of Academics. Online access to websites for enrichment in reading, writing, math, science, and more for all grade levels are provided below.

Accessing the Student Toolbox

Step 1: Click Student Toolbox from the MPS webpage OR Go to clever.com/in/milwaukee.

Step 2: Click ‘Log in with Google’ (Use your MPS Google login).

Students first will be asked for their Google login. Students should enter their S# followed by @milwaukee.k12.wi.us; for example, s1234567@milwaukee.k12.wi.us.

Students then will be asked to enter their password. Students should enter their date of birth in the format of mm/dd/yy; for example, 03/10/05.

Step 3: Select a program and start learning!

Thank you to all who participated in our school-wide Spelling Bee this year.  It was a great success!  Thank you Ms. Kennedy for all of your assistance and support with this wonderful event.

Congratulations to the Manitoba Spelling Bee Winners:

1st Place:  Angel Pulido

2nd Place:  William Gonzalez

3rd Place:  Trinitee Johnson

The District Spelling Bee is in April.  We encourage you as parents to help our children selected to study for this event.

 

 

We continue to address the need for everyone to follow MPS procedures for entering the building.  Parents, you must visit the main office, sign in, and retrieve a visitor’s pass.

Please reach out to administration for assistance if you are unable to resolve an issue with the classroom teacher or if your student is having a problem.

Remember, we do not allow parents to address other students if their student is having a conflict.

Thank you.

Dear Manitoba Family,

As we begin the month of March, it is also the time of year that we focus on the State Forward Exam.  I have reviewed the benchmark assessments from January.  In the subject area of reading, we continue to see many students below target or well below target.

We are asking you, as our partners, to have your students read 20 minutes a day.  We would like for you to take the time to read aloud to our younger students so that they are able to hear the fluency (word flow).

I would like to ask all of you to have a conversation with your child about appropriate language and behavior expectations.  I have noticed several students in all grade levels not always modeling the Manitoba way.  We appreciate your support!

***One Team, One Goal, One Manitoba***

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jones-Goodwin

Our attendance goal this year is to achieve a 96% or better attendance rate.

We are currently at 91%; we must raise this rate.  As a reminder during the 2019-2020 school year, we lost 5 points off of our state report card due to having a high absentee rate, over 13%.  We are currently at 14.7%.

We are still higher than last year to date for attendance; however, we have to keep up the good work!  This is just a friendly reminder that our students are expected to be in school everyday.

Please call the school attendance line to report your child’s absence at 414-902-8660, and follow up with a note when your child returns to school.

Our Black History Program will take place on Thursday, February 27, 2020.

There are 2 performances: 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

These programs are entirely student led and student driven.
