Welcome to Frederick J. Gaenslen School!<\/p>\n
![\"Richard](\"https:\/\/mpsschoolsites.wpenginepowered.com\/gaenslen\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/richard-walker-300x300.jpg\")
After ten years at Gaenslen School, I am honored to serve as Principal. Please call me Mr. Walker, and please come visit our new school playground and gardens, drop by an open-house event at Gaenslen or find another opportunity to check out one of Wisconsin\u2019s most welcoming \u2013 and hardest working \u2013 school communities.<\/p>\n
Gaenslen educates more than 600 K4 through eighth-grade students from neighborhoods across Milwaukee. Students arrive at our school each day from different zip codes and each child contributes something unique to our caring, creative school culture. For example, more than fifty percent of our students have special-education needs. For a fact, Gaenslen School has decades of experience and expertise in meeting the diverse learning needs of students who have Individualized Education Plans to address orthopedic, vision, and\/or other health diagnoses. Spend a few moments reviewing our staff page to understand what a dedicated, expertly trained staff of educators, therapists, and specialists Gaenslen School provides to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
Something else Gaenslen School has to offer: a safe, stable, neighborhood-school atmosphere. Our accessible, recently renovated building is located in a quiet corner of Riverwest but we\u2019re in the heart of everything:<\/p>\n
Gaenslen School is here for Milwaukee, and we\u2019re here for our Riverwest community. When you\u2019re thinking about a walkable, welcoming school community that educates and inspires all children, please think about Gaenslen School. We do great things here and we want you to be a part of it.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Richard Walker, Principal<\/p>\n

Our vision for Gaenslen School is to provide a supportive, caring and educational environment for our school students, parents, staff and school community. We offer effective behavioral and academic interventions with a rigorous curriculum aligned to Common Core State Standards to prepare students for college, job and career readiness.\r\n\r\nSmall class sizes and technology-based learning ensure equitable, personalized instruction so that each of our students can succeed and thrive.\r\n\r\nOur school also features creative and inspiring learning spaces, including our newly renovated and inclusive library, complete with a multi-use maker\u2019s space. The Alice Bertschy Kadish Memorial Weaving Center features more than 80 looms and allows students and community members to develop new skills and express themselves creatively. And our aquaponics and hydroponics lab encourages hands-on learning centered on growing and raising fresh, healthy food.\r\n\r\nWe are proud of our rich and innovative history in serving students with special healthcare needs and orthopedic impairments, our wonderful community partnerships, and our ability to serve as a trusted academic home for our students and their families. We are working hard to ensure that our scholars continue to learn, grow and succeed.\r\n\r\nBe healthy and stay safe.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\nKirsten L. Brown\r\nPrincipal of Frederick J.
