The West Allis-West Milwaukee School District’s Summer Learning program is designed to provide an engaging, academic experience where students choose to continue their growth and development throughout the summer.

This week, we were excited to welcome Kane, the newest member of the West Allis–West Milwaukee School District team. Kane is a trained therapy dog partnered with School Resource Officer Victor Herpin and will be supporting students and staff at West Milwaukee Intermediate School and Pershing Elementary School.




Therapy dogs play an important role in schools by helping reduce stress, supporting social-emotional learning, and creating calm, welcoming environments where students feel safe and supported. In addition to his therapy role, Kane will also become dual-certified in narcotics detection, strengthening our comprehensive approach to school safety while maintaining a caring learning environment. We’re thrilled to have Kane as part of our school community! 🐾💙

Referendum-funded construction is progressing on schedule across the district, with major visible milestones at the new West Allis Central Fieldhouse, set for a soft opening on November 26 and a grand opening in January. Upcoming 2026 projects are already in planning, including bathroom renovations, HVAC upgrades, and safety and accessibility improvements at multiple schools. The district remains committed to enhancing learning environments through community support and strategic investment.
