Trowbridge School to make the transition to virtual learning

Milwaukee Public Schools has taken an active step to ensure the safety of its students and staff. Trowbridge Street School of Great Lakes Studies has moved to virtual learning Tuesday, November 2, and will return to in-person learning on Friday, November 12, 2021.

Trowbridge School’s students, families, and staff were first notified about the transition to virtual learning Monday, November 1, 2021. The decision to move to virtual learning was made to decrease the likelihood of spreading COVID-19, due to the school community reporting that three percent or more of the total school population had tested positive for COVID-19 within a 14-day period.

Trowbridge School staff will report to the building and work independently from their individual classroom or office space. Students and families can expect additional outreach from their child’s teacher on instructions for virtual learning. Families should contact the school if they are in need of technology assistance.

The district will continue to encourage safe and healthy guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. MPS requires all students, staff, and visitors to wear face-coverings, and encourages everyone to cover sneezes and coughs, practice physical distancing, and wash hands thoroughly and often.
