Welcome to
Milwaukee Education Center now located at
the Andrew Douglas Complex. We are
now into our third week of classes and the students and staff are doing
great! There are a few glitches
which we are in the process of working out but the teachers are teaching
and the students are learning.
I am very excited to have our new Technology Focus for the school and feel that
the students will enjoy it and learn a lot with this
curriculum.
MEC
still has some opening for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. If you know of any child who needs a
school, have the parent contact Ms. Cruz at 875-6422 to reserve a place.
I would like to
invite all parents, students and guests to attend our Open House this coming
Wednesday, August 19th, beginning at 6:00 pm. We will be able to show you our new
home. We will have tours of the
building, teachers available to show what they are doing, and students’ work
available to show what they have done.
I hope to see you all on Wednesday evening.
MEC is always looking for parents/
guardians or other adults to volunteer in our building. This is one important way to show all
our children their importance in our lives. An hour or two a week can make a huge
difference for our children. We
have many areas where you can assist our staff and students. If you are interested in becoming a
volunteer, stop in the main office to pick up an application.
If your child will be
absent, please call our attendance line, 875-6460, to let the office know they
will be absent. This will prevent
you receiving an automated call later regarding the
absence.
I and the entire staff are here for you and your children. If you have any questions, concerns or problems, we need to know about them immediately so that we may rectify them. Come in at any time. We are here to serve you and our students to the best of our abilities.

Dear
Parents,
Not only is the MEC
library in a new space, it has a new face! I’m Mrs. Ferguson the new Library
Media Specialist for MEC/WORK/DIAL. Please stop in the library and introduce
yourself. If you “cruise” in during Open House, you and your child are welcome
to have your pictures taken holding your favorite books. We will have deck
chairs, leis and Hawaiian shirts for you to use as props. Sorry, drinks will not
be served, but students will get an umbrella straw souvenir while supplies
last.
If you have not done
so already, PLEASE sign the Textbook and Library book Contract in your student’s
welcome packet. Students have already started checking out library books. They
may check out up to three library books. Library books are checked out for two
weeks. There are no overdue fines. Students are responsible for lost, stolen or
damaged books. The original cost of the book is charged to the student’s
account.
If you have any questions,
please call or email me: (414) 875-6535
voelzsk@milwaukee.k12.wi.us.
Thanks,
Sally
