Dear Parents,
Thank you for attending our registration days last week and replying to our enrollment confirmation email! It's hard to believe we have over 1,400 students preparing to come back to MAS and 200 students on our waiting list. We hope you find the "Nova Nation News: Family & Parent Newsletter" helpful--with important information, features, dates, links, resources, prizes, and more! We welcome your feedback, just hit reply.

Dear Parents,
With positive COVID cases on the rise, we have gotten questions about the decision to come back to school fully in person. At this time, Milwaukee Academy of Science is not allowed by Wisconsinโs Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to offer a virtual option--because we are not a virtual school. Last year, exceptions were made, but right now those exceptions are not in place.
With the increase in COVID cases, DPI may change course and allow schools like MAS to offer a virtual component like last year. We are monitoring the situation closely. Until then, we will move forward with our in-person academic program and utilize all strategies that we have learned over the last year and a half to keep our staff and students safe....
