School spirit and student enrichment are on the agenda for Parent Teacher Associations and organizations district-wide. School policies, procedures, and student well-being are the work of School Engagement Councils, established in Milwaukee Public Schools in 1997.
Milwaukee German Immersion School Engagement Council meetings are held monthly and online. These virtual meetings are open to the public; anyone may attend.
School Engagement Council members are volunteers who care about MGIS and our students. The council’s decision-making authority is both advisory and influential as members:
- Analyze school climate, performance, and budgetary issues.
- Advise school faculty and administration on matters affecting curriculum, student performance, and overall student well-being.
Participate in our School Engagement Council:
- As a voting member. Contact Parent Coordinator Ed Possing at possine@milwaukee.k12.wi.us or (414) 393-5600, to learn more.
- As an informed community member or volunteer.
