To match up local employers with student job seekers, Milwaukee Public Schools will host a job fair on March 13, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee Student Union. Approximately 1,000 students are expected to attend in search of summer and year-round work. Last year’s job fair was a huge success, with employers and students requesting a repeat event in 2019.
Employers can register at https://mpsstudentjobfair.eventbrite.com
Space at the job fair is free and includes one parking spot and a light lunch. An area will be available for on-site interviews. For questions and registration information, contact Tamera Coleman at employMPSstudents@milwaukee.k12.wi.us
Students who complete a Work Readiness session at their school are eligible to attend the job fair. Work Readiness sessions help prepare students to fill out job applications, interview, and be ready for the world of work. Students can speak with their counselor or stop in any College and Career Center with questions. Bus transportation will be provided for students to attend the job fair thanks to a generous donation from the Al Hurvis/ADAMM Education Foundation.
The UWM Student Union is located at 2200 East Kenwood Blvd., Milwaukee, WI 53211.
The calendar changes are designed to minimize the impact on the overall school calendar and to avoid adding school days to the end of the year. Parents should take note of a significant change that makes Tuesday, February 19, an attendance day for all students. Prior to the weather closings, school was not scheduled to be in session on this date.

We cordially invite you to attend the Milwaukee Public Schools Enrollment Bus Kickoff event. This year the district is taking enrollment buses throughout the city in June and July to enroll children for the 2018-19 school year. Families can enroll students in the convenience of their own neighborhood! Please join MPS Interim Superintendent Dr. Keith Posley for this celebration.
Both sessions are designed for summer fun and will include science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM), music, outdoor activities, field trips, and more! Students can catch up, get ahead, or just have fun learning. Summer classes help students strengthen and retain skills so they start strong in the fall. High school students can earn up to one credit in each session through credit recovery, credit acceleration, and/or internships.
