The marching band got to use the new football field for band camp this year - that's a BIG deal because the old field couldn't take it.
It was promised that students from across the district could use the field, and that promise is being kept: Teams have been using it almost all summer and though it will be closed while the track is poured, once reopened the Recreation Department and physical education classes will be able to go out there, too!

District staff have been working all summer to get the buildings ready for the new school year. Learn how much work that takes and how seriously our building staff take the responsibility of being good stewards of our buildings.

The School District of South Milwaukee will launch its new website on September 1.

There may be a slight interruption as the switch is made Thursday-Friday. Please bear with us.

Missing a Class Schedule or Room Assignment Post Card? Update Your Registration

SDSM doesn't know if your student is returning unless you update your registration. If you haven't heard from your school about what teacher your student will have or get their high school schedule, it might be because we didn't hear from you. Log on to Infinite Campus and review your information (telephone number, email, emergency contact information, etc.) Even if nothing has changed. The entire process should only take roughly 10 minutes, can be done in either English or Spanish and will make sure everything is ready to go when school starts again in September.

Free Fallin’ A Tom Petty Concert Experience gives rock fans a special treat – Tom Petty’s greatest hits re-creating the Tom Petty concert experience.

These musicians’ 2018 Broken Hearted Tour played more than 90 shows in 15 states and played for Tom Petty’s “Birthday Weekend” in his hometown of Gainesville, FL, for thousands of people from all over the world.

Since then, this band has continued to play major venues and events across the country and has garnered a reputation as one of the most professional touring bands today.

Sing along to hits like American Girl, Listen to Her Heart, Runnin’ Down a Dream and more as we pay tribute to one of the greatest songwriters in rock music!
