Welcome to West Allis-West Milwaukee Recreation & Community Services Department!
The West Allis-West Milwaukee Recreation & Community Services team, as a department within the school district, inspires and empowers you to be an active lifelong learner through engaging, equitable and accessible programs, services, and opportunities that are a source of pride for our community.
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.
With the new school year starting soon, we believe that parents/guardians shouldn’t have to make the tough decision between purchasing new school supplies or receiving a new haircut.
Construction is moving forward across WAWM schools, with major progress at Central Fieldhouse, new roofing at several buildings, and upcoming HVAC, pool, and safety upgrades. These projects continue to improve learning environments while keeping students and staff safe, bringing the district closer to the goals outlined in our referendum.
