Students and Staff Kick Off School Year Unlike Any Other
District staff welcomed students JK-12 back into classrooms this month, both virtually and in person. Students enrolled in Phase Into Learning and Tosa Connected learned in cohort groups. Cohort A attended classes on Tuesday and Wednesday, and those in Cohort B attended classes on Thursday and Friday. Students enrolled in Wauwatosa Virtual Academy began their school year on Tuesday.

We were #TosaProud to see students engaged in their learning as we kicked off a school year unlike any other.

NEW! Wauwatosa School District COVID-19 Dashboard
In an ongoing effort to keep staff, students, families and other members of our community informed regarding the impact of COVID-19 in our community, we have created a dynamic COVID-19 dashboard. The dashboard provides insight into the caseload, positive test rate, trend and hospital capacity for the State of Wisconsin, Milwaukee County and the City of Wauwatosa. The dashboard also contains information specific to the Wauwatosa School District regarding quarantines and positive cases.

The data within the dashboard is used to update our Phase Into Learning Scorecard each week. We encourage members of our community to explore the dashboard and scorecards - along with the additional resources on our Reopening page.

Food Service Waiver: Free Student Meals Through December 31, 2020
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved an extension of a waiver that allows the Wauwatosa School District to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students enrolled in the Wauwatosa School District through December 31, 2020. This means that all students enrolled in the District - either via Phase Into Learning, Tosa Connected or Wauwatosa Virtual Academy - will have the opportunity to get breakfast and lunch for free. 
Thank you to Our Medical/Public Health Advisory Panel
As we've continued to develop plans for students and staff to return to learning for the 2020-21 school year, we have received invaluable support from a wonderful group of local medical and public health experts. The expertise and perspectives from this group has supported the development of our Phase Into Learning Scorecard, and they helped to provide the School Board with critical information needed to make decisions regarding the model of instruction for Phase Into Learning students at the start of the school year.

We're #TosaProud to have such a dedicated, engaged community willing to volunteer their time and talents for our students, staff and families.

NEW! Technology Help Desk
To better serve our families and staff, our Technology Services Department has launched a new and improved Help Desk! The Help Desk will troubleshoot issues related to computers and other hardware, software and online systems, and more!
