The Parent/Student Handbook on Rights, Responsibilities, and Discipline is published annually in August. All MPS households receive a copy via mail. Parents who move during the school year are urged to report the change of address to the Department of Student Services to ensure continued receipt.

As Milwaukee Public Schools continues to improve teaching and learning for all students, we know that parents and families are our most valuable partners. This is especially true as the district continues to implement new, more rigorous standards for what every child should know and be able to do in each subject area and grade level. The Common Core State Standards, to which the MPS Comprehensive Literacy Plan and Comprehensive Math/Science Plan are aligned, set high expectations.
