School Engagement Council (SEC)

School spirit and student enrichment are on the agenda for Parent Teacher Associations and Organizations districtwide. School policies, procedures, and student well-being are the work of School Engagement Councils, established in Milwaukee Public Schools in 1997.

The Bay View School Engagement Council brings together families, staff, students (when appropriate), and community members to support and inform shared leadership that can lead to increased student achievement.

Members of the council:

• Analyze school climate, performance, and budgetary issues.
• Advise school faculty and administration on matters affecting curriculum, student performance, and overall student well-being.

You can participate in our School Engagement Council as a voting member or guest. Email our parent coordinator or principal to suggest agenda topics for an upcoming meeting.

Student Support

Here are some tips you can follow at home to help ensure your child’s success.

• Make sure your student is on time every day (8:00 a.m.).
• Make attendance a priority. There is an undeniable link between a student’s attendance and their overall success. Call the school attendance line at (414) 294-2400 when your child will be absent. We must be sure every student has arrived safely and follow up with anyone who is not there. We must also record absences correctly.
• Communicate with us. By communicating with the school, you are able to keep up with your child. It is recommended that parents attend parent-teacher conferences and reach out any time there are concerns or changes that may affect students.
• Set realistic expectations. It is always important to set attainable goals for students to work towards. By making expectations clear, we can hold our students accountable for their education.
• Keep your child healthy. Make sure your child is getting enough rest and eating right. By caring for their physical, emotional, and mental health, you are ensuring that they are ready to succeed in school.
• Ask for help. We understand that there are often obstacles that affect families. We are here to help. If you would like to talk to a school counselor, psychologist, or social worker, please reach out. Our goal is to collaborate with parents and families to build a strong support network for our students.
• Share your voice at our monthly School Engagement Council meetings.
