West Allis-West Milwaukee School District Home

The 2025–26 school year is off to a vibrant start! From our youngest learners to our graduating seniors, students are diving into learning, building friendships, and sharing their talents. Thank you to our staff, families, and community for creating such a supportive, welcoming start to the year.

September is Attendance Awareness Month—a reminder that every day in school matters. Regular attendance supports academic success, social growth, and future opportunities. Together, families, schools, and our community can help students stay present, engaged, and ready to learn.

From new flooring at Central’s Fieldhouse to HVAC and roofing updates across our schools, construction crews and staff have been hard at work this month. Thanks to our community’s support, major milestones are being met and planning is already underway for future projects.

As we prepare to welcome students back, WAWM has been busy with leadership development, facility upgrades and planning for the launch of our new Strategic Plan. Read more about upcoming community events and exciting plans for the 2025-26 school year.

The Community Transition Services (CTS) program supports students with disabilities, ages 18–21, as they develop skills for independence, employment, and community participation through hands-on learning, work experiences, and individualized instruction. Led by Ali Swenson and Lisa Griffiths, CTS empowers students to build confidence, self-advocacy, and real-world skills that prepare them for life beyond school.
