West Milwaukee Intermediate Home

Welcome to the 26/27 school year. The staff at West want to start this year a little differently. This year on September 15th and September 17th, we will offer our parents/guardians the opportunity to partake in “Listening Conferences”. Listening Conferences are a way for parents/guardians to meet your child’s teacher team and discuss all the great things about your child. Book an appointment here.

When our community voted “yes” in November 2024, you invested in more than buildings. You invested in our students, our staff, and the future of WAWM.

Every minute matters. Every student belongs. Every day counts.

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! 🐾💙
