Milwaukee Public Schools students and staff will have to make up some of the class time they lost in January because of extreme winter weather.
Like other area districts, MPS closed schools Jan. 9 and Jan. 12 because of snow, and closed again Jan. 16 because of extreme cold.
For schools on MPS’ traditional-start calendar, students will need to attend classes June 7, which was previously a records day for staff. Staff will have a records day June 13, instead of professional development.
For schools on MPS’ early-start calendar, there are the following changes:
- Students at Douglas, King Middle, Lincoln Center, Morse, Roosevelt, and Wedgewood schools must attend school Feb. 16. At all other early-start schools, this will be a staff-only day.
- Students at Vincent High School must attend school March 12, which is ACT Day. At all other high schools, juniors attend school, but students in grades nine, 10, and 12 do not attend.
- All high school students must attend school April 10.
