On Wednesday evening during the School Engagement Council meeting the Expansion committee shared a detailed presentation including the middle school survey data and a rubric. This presentation lasted more than 1 and half hours and was followed by time for School Engagement Council members to ask questions, look at the survey data, and get any of their questions answered. Then a vote was held to determine if our school should proposal an expansion of 6th-8th from the board to start next school year. After the vote, ALL 11 out of 11 School Engagement Members voted YES to move forward! This means that we will ask the school board for approval and pending the approval from the board we will be having 6th grade in our school next year for current 5th graders who would like to continue their bilingual education focused on social justice.

El miércoles por la noche, durante la reunión del Consejo de Participación Escolar, el comité de Expansión compartió una presentación detallada que incluye los datos de la encuesta de la escuela intermedia y una rúbrica. Esta presentación duró más de una hora y media y fue seguida por tiempo para que los miembros del Consejo de Participación Escolar hicieran preguntas, observaran los datos de la encuesta y obtuvieran respuestas a todas sus preguntas. Luego se llevó a cabo una votación para determinar si nuestra escuela debería proponer a la junta directiva una expansión del 6º al 8º para comenzar el próximo año escolar. Después de la votación, ¡TODOS los 11 de los 11 miembros de participación escolar votaron SÍ para seguir adelante! Esto significa que solicitaremos la aprobación de la junta escolar y, pendiente de la aprobación de la junta, tendremos 6.° grado en nuestra escuela el próximo año para los estudiantes actuales de 5.° grado que deseen continuar su educación bilingüe enfocada en la justicia social.

Dear MPS Parent of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders,

Student well-being is an important part of social-emotional health. Student education improves when we pay attention to well-being. Milwaukee Public Schools wants to improve student well-being. MPS listens to student feedback to enhance our students’ learning experience.

The Student Well-Being Survey is new this year. Students in third through twelfth grade will give feedback using this survey. The survey asks students to rate their feelings and experiences at school.

This survey will be taken three times per year: October 7–18, 2024; January 6–17, 2025; and May 5–16, 2025. The survey will take about 15 minutes. The results will not identify your child. Your child’s individual responses will not be viewed by school staff. Student responses will be grouped to help staff choose schoolwide supports and services.

If you do not want your child to share their feedback, please call your child’s school to inform them of your request.

La Escuela Fratney students and families are invited to the Milwaukee Art Museum for free on Sunday, October 20th from 10 to 4 pm. The art that 4th and 5th graders made with guest artists will be on display.
