Attendance

At Milwaukee High School of the Arts, attendance is important to success! EVERY DAY COUNTS!

Students can only learn by actively engaging in lessons. Poor attendance lowers grades, limits National Honor Society participation, and reduces chances for college admission. Parents and guardians will receive an automated phone call for absent or tardy students so we can work together for their continued success.

MHSA Policies

  • Parents/guardians must call (414) 934-7061 to report all absences.
  • Parents/guardians are required to submit a written note within three days for an absence to be marked “excused.”
  • Students should contact their teachers regarding any missing assignments.
  • Students can only be released to people on their contact list.
