Dear Milwaukee Public Schools Community,
The first part of the 2020-21 school year has gone by very fast and not without challenge. Even with all of the obstacles 2020 has presented us, there is still so much to be thankful for at Milwaukee Public Schools.
As we enter the Thanksgiving break and a season filled with gratitude, I want to take this opportunity to express how grateful I feel to be part of our remarkable community of employees, learners, and friends. In these most unique and challenging times, I’ve seen dedicated and tireless individuals go above and beyond to make sure the extraordinary still happens for our students and throughout the district.
I am inspired by our Milwaukee Board of School Directors, our educators, administrators, and all staff for being our student’s strongest advocates this year and every year before. I am grateful for the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and caregivers alike who are working hard to be an integral part of their child’s educational success. I am thankful for our volunteers, donors, and partners who enthusiastically collaborate with us inside and outside of the classroom. And most importantly, I am appreciative of our future leaders that continue to amaze me!
Along with the excitement, I recognize that the holiday season may bring on a range of emotions. This is a reminder to care for yourself and those around you as various feelings may impact your mood.
Whether your holiday plans are different or postponed for this year, may you, your family, loved ones, and friends experience kindness, generosity, and fond memories during the Thanksgiving break.
I thank all of you, no matter your contribution, for your support, encouragement, and kind words you send me on a daily basis.

Keith P. Posley
Superintendent of Schools
