Literacy and mathematical concepts form the foundation of our academic program, becoming more rigorous as students advance. Partner organizations provide tutoring support, nutrition and mental wellness programming, and enrichment activities to support the whole child. Children learn the most when they feel their best, and the Auer Avenue team collaborates to identify and meet the needs of every child.<\/p>\n

Auer Avenue students work together and learn from each other in social and emotional lessons, wellness workshops, and at play. School-wide, we learn and use restorative practices to build trust and promote respect from morning circles at the start of the day to monthly Family Council meetings. Students enjoy homework help, structured activities, food, and friend time in our after-school enrichment program. Family workshops and reading diners help busy families connect with school and with each other. In fact, many Auer Avenue caretakers are loyal alumni who enroll their children (or grandchildren!) here.<\/p>\n

After School Program<\/h2>\n

The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center at COA Goldin provides an after-school program<\/a> to K4 through fifth-grade students in partnership with Milwaukee Recreation and COA Youth & Family Centers. The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center at COA Goldin provides academic enrichment, homework help, social-emotional learning, arts programming, and nutritious meals or snacks to students.<\/p>\n

School Community Partnership for Mental Health<\/h2>\n

Since 2009, the School Community Partnership for Mental Health (SCPMH) has provided intensive, on-site mental wellness programs and mental health services to students and families in Milwaukee Public Schools. The partnership began in just four schools and has expanded to nearly 40 schools, including Auer Avenue School.<\/p>\n

Vision<\/h2>\n

Auer Avenue School believes in creating a collaborative school community with equitable opportunities focused on supporting the wellbeing of ALL stakeholders, resulting in academic achievement and lifelong success.<\/p>\n

Did you know?...<\/h2>\r\nAuer Avenue is a COMMUNITY SCHOOL. <\/strong>In 2015\u00a0Auer Avenue Community School\u00a0became part of the Milwaukee Community School Partnership.\u00a0The goal of Community Schools is to transform schools into places where students, families, staff, and the surrounding community can work together to ensure every student is successful. Community Schools place the focus on the whole child by providing academic supports, social and emotional learning, health and wellness, family and community engagement, and a safe and supportive climate.\u00a0Each Community School may use different strategies and activities to improve its school and community, but each share these guiding practices: Equity, Share Leadership & Cultural Relevance.\r\n\r\nAuer Avenue Community School offers Head Start programming.\u00a0<\/strong>It is vital for children to have a strong academic foundation. Children\u2019s first classroom experience should be a positive time that builds self-esteem and confidence as they\u00a0continue\u00a0to learn and grow.\u00a0Auer Avenue's Head Start program offers a half- or full-day classroom experience, solid curriculum to establish school-readiness skills, individualized educational experiences, daily breakfast\/snack and\u00a0lunch and more! The program is approximately three hours per day (morning or afternoon sessions) with some full-day options for three-year-olds.\u00a0Four-year-olds attend school all day. Check with the Head Start office at 414-252-0350 for specific program lengths and enrollment information.\r\n\r\nAuer Avenue Community School is one of the original\u00a0MPS schools!\u00a0<\/b>Auer Avenue Community School was built in 1903 and is currently the 22nd oldest school in Milwaukee Public Schools. Its original name was Twentieth District School No. 4. For a period of time around 1894, the school hosted a branch of the Milwaukee Public Library within its walls. The name was changed to Auer Avenue School in 1912 to identify it by its street address. Auer Avenue, and in turn, Auer Avenue School, was named after Louis Auer, a member of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors from 1868 to 1880. In 1967 an addition was added to the school, this is now where Auer's 4th Grade, 5th Grade and support staff are located. In 2015 Auer Avenue joined the Milwaukee Community School Partnership and became AUER AVENUE COMMUNITY SCHOOL!\r\n
