MPS Making Up Two Snow DaysMilwaukee Public Schools students will make up two snow days, the district announced today. The additional days of instruction are required to make up for the loss of time in the classroom when all MPS schools were closed due to bad weather December 11th and February 6th. “We discussed simply adding minutes each day to our school days as some other area districts have been able to do,” said Superintendent William Andrekopoulos. “We realized that would not have provided enough of the time that the Wisconsin Department of Instruction requires us to have.” One of the two makeup days will be in mid-May. The other will occur at the end of the school year, in June. Wednesday, May 14, will now be a student attendance day. It had been previously scheduled as a training day for staff. In addition, for most MPS schools, Friday, June 13 is now a student attendance day and the last day of classes for the school year. A few MPS schools have alternate schedules. In those cases, principals will work to communicate the schedule variations. “We ask our families to note these days and be certain their children are in school on May 14 and June 13,” said Superintendent Andrekopoulos.
