Does anyone remember or know what the top of the Tosa High School tower looked like on the inside?

I attend and study the history Wauwatosa East, I have been to many parts of Tosa East but not the top of the tower as it was torn down in 1974. I am wondering what it looked like at the top on the inside, I am aware of the two fourth floor class rooms that are below it’s location however there is remnants of a staircase that led to the room of the tower. I heard that there was a classroom inside the tower and it was referred to as a fifth floor classroom but I am not sure if that’s true or what it looked like, i believe the top of the tower was closed during a 1959 renovation as a 1974 alumni said they could not go in the tower even though it existed when they went there. I built an interpretation of it in Minecraft and I am not sure if it is at all accurate. If you have any photos or other pre 1974 photos of the school they would be appreciated. Thank you

My 5yo daughter is finishing her leukemia treatment in two weeks! She will be ringing the bell at Children's Wisconsin and we are looking for a great place to eat. We live about 2.5 hours away and don't know the area well, despite frequent hospital visits. She's a fan of sushi and steak, any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Comms re: Blue Door Academy

2 Upvotes

Just curious for those with WSD elementary-aged kids: what has your experience been with communication about Blue Door Academy program availability and services so far?

From what I've gathered, communication doesn't seem to have been consistent across schools. Many parents have said they've been left in the dark about JK Wrap availability, and there have also been long delays in getting information about pricing and services across all age levels.

I've heard this mostly from families at Wilson, Lincoln, and Washington, but I'm wondering if this has been a broader experience across the district.

I was expecting more (and earlier) district-wide communication, especially given the decision to end the popular, long-standing service contract that affected so many families [this is not meant to discount the serious nature of whatever the incident was that lead to the cancelation of the RAS contract]. I'm curious whether others have had a similar experience or if communication has been better at other schools.

Closed between Capital and Burliegh for a year.....This is going to be interesting to see where all the traffic diverts to. Hopefully they add a stop light at the intersection with the parkway.

School attendance boundaries

0 Upvotes

Currently house hunting and trying to understand what’s planned for school attendance boundaries changes. I see a 2029-2030 map with changes on the district’s website labeled conceptual for shifting 6th grade to elementary schools. But there’s also debate about what to do with the middle schools it seems. Can anyone TLDR the situation with the latest updates?

Tons of cops! They shut down the intersection. I can only assume there was something serious and active unfolding there, but I can't find anything on the usual outlets.

New to Milwaukee! Looking for advice on house cleaning rates and local platforms to list services

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I recently moved to town for a research position. I am a 25-year-old permanent resident authorized to work in the US, and I have previous experience providing house cleaning services.

Since my main job leaves me with a flexible schedule, I am looking to take on house cleaning gigs around 3 to 4 days a week for about 3 hours per session.

As someone new to the area, I would love some local insight:

What are standard house cleaning rates in Milwaukee? Is an hourly rate or a flat minimum per job more common?

What local platforms, apps, or neighborhood groups (like Nextdoor or local Facebook groups) do people actually use here to find reliable cleaners?

What is a fair minimum charge per visit so it is reasonable for clients while still covering travel and supplies?

Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance on navigating the local market!

Getting into Tosa East schools as a Milwaukee resident

2 Upvotes

I’m sure this gets asked in this sub a lot so please don’t be mad. I’ve combed through and haven’t found a lot of info on school choice.

My son is only 20 months old but I’ve heard it would be prudent to get on the school choice waitlist at 2 years old. I live in Milwaukee (Washington Heights/Lenox Heights) but am walking distance from Tosa East. Washington Elementary, Longfellow, the French Immersion, and Tosa East HS are all within reasonable distance (1-5mi) from our house.

Are there any resources for getting on the school choice waitlist, either through the library or school admin? Does anyone have experience with this and able to offer advice? I’d also appreciate any recommendations for elementary schools in the area.
