Access Grades, Attendance and Assignments |
|
|
 The Milwaukee Public Schools' online Parent Assistant and Student Assistant allows parents/guardians and students to attendance, course grades, and standardized test scores – all available instantaneously. Parents can also update personal and emergency contact information directly online (which is then reviewed and verified by the school). All information is kept private, and each parent must complete a special application to help guarantee security and privacy of their information. For parents with multiple students in MPS, all children can be accessed via one PIN number. Students can use their standard MPS Web login/password. For families who may not have access at home, computers with Internet access are available at public libraries, at school, and many workplaces.

Alert to Parents for Funding! |
|
|
|
If 88% of Rufus King families simply return lunch applications (regardless of whether a family believes it is not eligible), our school will receive additional funding for various programs as well as qualify for universal breakfast for all students! Presently, we have received 72.3%, falling short of the minimum rate; 417 families still have not submitted applications. If we don't receive these soon, the minimum rate required climbs to an almost impossible 95%.
Also, students with free/reduced lunch status get considerable discounts on College Application Fees and ACT / SAT Fees. Please take the time to submit your form to the school TODAY! Ask your student to pick up a form in the Main Office today!
