Parent Partnership
We're glad your family is part of Milwaukee Scholars. Parent Partnership is one of the core commitments at every NHA® partner school, built on the belief that parents and guardians play an important role in their child's success. That means regular communication about how your child is doing, conferences throughout the year, and opportunities to get involved through volunteering and school events. Strong partnerships between home and school help every child thrive.
Learning Today. Leading Tomorrow.
Our goal is to create a school where every student is known, challenged, and supported. We believe children thrive when high expectations are paired with high care. That is why we focus on four key commitments:
- Academic Excellence through rigorous, engaging instruction
- Strong Character through our Moral Focus™ virtues
- Student Responsibility for learning and behavior
- Parent Partnership built on trust, communication, and shared goals
Together, we create a safe, welcoming, and purpose-driven community where every student can grow academically, socially, and personally.
Academic Excellence
We believe every student is capable of achieving more than they may realize.
Our classrooms are intentionally rigorous because learning should challenge students to think critically, solve problems, and continue growing. Along the way, students build the knowledge, confidence, character, and responsibility needed for success in school and beyond.
Our teachers are committed to helping every student reach their full potential through engaging instruction, meaningful support, and high-quality learning experiences.
Attendance Matters
Every school day counts.
Regular attendance helps students stay engaged, build confidence, strengthen friendships, and make consistent academic progress.
We understand that illnesses and unexpected situations happen. If attendance becomes a challenge, please let us know early so we can work together to support your child.
Communication is a Partnership
The best outcomes happen when families and schools work together.
Whether you have a question, concern, or something worth celebrating, we encourage you to reach out. Early conversations help build strong relationships and often prevent small concerns from becoming bigger challenges.
Stay connected throughout the year by accessing the NHA app, where you can:
- Message your child's teacher
- Receive important school updates
- Access helpful school information
You can also contact us whenever you need assistance.
Arrival & Dismissal
During the first week of school, you can expect arrival and dismissal to take a little longer as families, students, and staff establish new routines. Our team will be outside directing traffic, answering questions, and helping every student arrive and depart safely. As everyone becomes familiar with the process, traffic will move more quickly and efficiently.
Tip: If your schedule allows, consider arriving at the beginning of morning drop-off and at the end of afternoon pick-up to help reduce your wait time.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep arrival and dismissal safe, organized, and efficient.
