Registration is open for Milwaukee Public Schools summer programs, offering learning and recreation opportunities at more than 90 sites across the city.
“Summer learning is critical for our students,” MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver said. “I encourage families to make a commitment and enroll their children in a summer learning program to ensure students stay on track and return to school this fall healthy and ready to learn.”
Families can learn more about Summer Academy on the district’s website or by calling 414-475-8238. You must register by June 27. Families can enroll online at mpsmke.com/enrollMPS.Opportunities include 2,000 additional seats in MPS’ Summer Academy for grades K5-8, a program at 26 sites across the city that reinforces what students learned throughout the year and prepares them for the school year ahead. The number of sites available is also up from last year. The district is offering door-to-door transportation for students living within two miles of two Summer Academy “Super Sites:” Grantosa Drive School and Sherman Multicultural Arts School. Other sites are focused on offering neighborhood opportunities for families.
