We are extremely excited to welcome back our students and are committed to the health and safety of all students and staff. We are looking forward to an exciting school year and truly appreciate your continued support. Lowell is an excellent International Baccalaureate school offering a rigorous, culturally responsive academic program and classes in art, music, and physical education. In addition, students are provided with opportunities to take Spanish, participate in our Playworks program, and join various athletic activities.<\/p>\n

Powerful partnerships include our work with Reagan High School and the Milwaukee Public Library. Students love our Playworks\u2019 Junior Coach program, which staff appreciate because it encourages positive behavior\u2014especially at recess! We also have a fantastic before-school and after-school camp program.<\/p>\n

Lowell\u2019s dedicated and talented staff create a safe, welcoming, and nurturing foundation that supports student achievement. Students from K3 to fifth grade receive enriching and challenging academic instruction every day. I am honored to work with this remarkable learning community and look forward to another successful school year. I am available to answer questions and share more about the great things happening at Lowell. Please reach out at (414) 304-6605 or mattsotj@milwaukee.k12.wi.us.<\/p>\n
