Empowered Collaboration: Unifying Parents and Supporters of MPSD

As parents and supporters of the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPSD) district, we share a common goal: to provide our children with the best possible education. By working together, we can create a system that empowers students to succeed in school and beyond.

The Importance of Parent Involvement

Studies have consistently shown that parent involvement in education has a positive impact on student outcomes. For example, a report by the National PTA found that students with involved parents are more likely to:

• Attend school regularly
• Earn better grades
• Graduate from high school
• Enroll in college

Parent involvement is especially important in districts like MPSD, where many students come from low-income families. These students often face additional challenges that make it difficult for them to succeed in school. However, research has shown that parent involvement can help to level the playing field.

By participating in their children's education, parents can:

• Help their children with homework and school projects
• Encourage their children to read and learn
• Set high expectations for their children
• Provide support and encouragement

Benefits of Parent and Supporter Collaboration

When parents and supporters work together, they can:

• Amplify their voices
• Increase their influence
• Make a real difference in the lives of students

By collaborating with each other, parents and supporters can:

• Stay informed about school policies and programs
• Advocate for change
• Raise funds and resources
• Provide support and guidance to each other

How to Get Involved

There are many ways that parents and supporters can get involved in MPSD. Here are a few ideas:

• Attend school board meetings
• Join a parent-teacher organization
• Volunteer in your child's classroom
• Attend school events
• Make a donation
• Stay informed about school news and events

Even small acts of involvement can make a big difference. By working together, we can create a better future for our children.

Call to Action

We urge all parents and supporters of MPSD to get involved. Your voice matters. Your involvement makes a difference.

Let's work together to create a school district that is worthy of our children.
