Partnerships
Trinity Presbyterian Church
We are quite fortunate to have a special relationship with this church located just across the street from our school. The church community has taken a personal interest in our school. The church has provided adult mentors for Grade 6, 7, and 8 boys to help them with choices. Church members experienced in successful gardening practices has instructed our Grade 5 students in designing and maintaining a community garden. Two of our kindergarten classrooms are also located in the church as well.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Milwaukee
Our after school program is led and organized by this agency. We have found that our students and parents are very pleased with this association. Recreation, special classes, homework assistance, and tutoring are the important pieces of this program.

Wisconsin Act 20: Early Literacy Remediation
Teaching students to read requires skill and science. Act 20 states that all Wisconsin schools must provide science-based early literacy instruction from K4 through third grade. Evidence-based instruction, assessments, and personal reading plans for those who need additional support help all students become capable, confident readers. Skill development includes combining letters and sounds to create words, building vocabulary, and reading and writing with expression and clarity. Learn more about Act 20 in MPS.
